Rustic Meadow Idea

October 27, 2022 Leave a Comment

When I think of meadows I usually think of them in the summer. We’re trying to cultivate a natural flower meadow in a large area behind our house but it’s slow going. We started off with a few lupins that grow wild along the roadside. Having rescued the plants from being mowed down they are now well-established and spreading beautifully. We also have other plants springing up that I’ve yet to properly identify. But as autumn takes hold the whole area changes into shades of brown inspiring ... VIEW POST

Summer Meadow

August 4, 2022 Leave a Comment

It’s going to be another one of those hot and humid days. With a heat warning in place I’ve just closed up all the windows and drawn the curtains. That should keep the house relatively cool as the temperature begins to climb. Later, once it starts to cool again and the onshore breeze picks up, I’ll open up the house again. In the meantime I shall be mostly crafting. Today’s project was inspired by the pretty butterflies I saw while mowing a path through our flower meadow at the ... VIEW POST

Quiet Meadow Thoughts Of Spring

March 11, 2022 Leave a Comment

It’s funny how a little bit of sunshine and blue sky can raise the spirits.  While I’m still in COVID self-isolation I’m enjoying the first signs of spring.  Today we were treated to the sight of a dozen white-tailed deer in the area behind our house.  The birds are out, and so was one of our resident red squirrels.  I love living in rural Nova Scotia with all the wildlife that comes to visit.  We’re working on creating a flower meadow in the back field and that inspired ...

Quiet Meadow Vintage Style

February 18, 2022 Leave a Comment

Although I try not to copy anyone else's projects, as a papercrafter I’m endlessly fascinated by other artists’ design processes.  Something I love but struggle with are collage style projects.  These are most often found on scrapbook pages but I’ve seen some great examples on cards too.  The other style I’m still working on is ‘vintage’.  That’s a real challenge for me, but with practice I feel I’m definitely improving.  Today’s experiment involved limiting myself to ...

Back To Black And Quiet Meadow

October 31, 2021 2 Comments

So it's October 31st and another month has simply flown by. My regular readers will know I'm not big on Halloween but in the 'spirit' of the occasion I thought I'd bring you this black card. It's a "Thinking of You" card using a sentiment from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. If you followed my 24 cards in 24 hours challenge earlier this month on Facebook you may remember it. This is probably one of my favourites from that marathon session. I don't often design mainly black cards, but this one ... VIEW POST

Petal Pink Finally Has Me Hooked

July 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

When Stampin' Up! refreshed its colour range a couple of years ago I had mixed feelings. Out went some of my favourite colours, but so too did some I wasn't keen on so that balanced it out. Of all the new colours I suppose the one I've struggled with the most is Petal Pink. There was just something about Petal Pink that made me avoid it when designing projects. Perhaps it was because the colour wasn't a proper 'pink'. It took a while, but suddenly I'm in love with Petal Pink. It's still ... VIEW POST
