"Set sail in the direction of your dreams" - masculine / gender neutral card created using the Sailing Home Stamp Set and coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

The Direction Of Our Dreams

April 8, 2020 2 Comments

When the majority of us are sheltering at home while COVID-19 makes it's way around the world, it's time to dream. I don't mean literally fall alseep and dream. I mean dream about places you want to go and people you want to see once the restrictions are lifted. Don't you think this is the perfect time to think about our dreams, even if we can't put a date on them? I do. So while we can't physically do things there's nothing to stop us planning how to make those dreams a ... VIEW POST

Weathering The Storms Of Life

March 24, 2020 Leave a Comment

I went to bed last night with no idea what I was going to make for today's blog. By the time I awoke I had an idea for an inspirational fridge magnet. So out came the Sailing Home Stamp Set and the "Let hope be your anchor through the storms of life" sentiment. In no time at all my idea had taken shape. STORMY SEAS On the side of my fridge I have a collection of magnets. These ones are all 'advertising' from local businesses and organisations, and quite useful at times. I did ... VIEW POST

Blue And Brown Colour Scheme

October 11, 2019 2 Comments

What do you think of when you think of love or Valentine's Day? I suspect hearts are the first things to spring to mind, and most likely a red and white colour scheme. Last weekend when I was racing through my 24 cards in 24 hours for World Card Making Day I did something a little different. I made a Valentine's card in a blue and brown colour scheme, and not a heart in sight. BACKGROUND LAYERS My project started out with the Come Sail Away 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. I ... VIEW POST

The Power Of The Sea

September 10, 2019 2 Comments

If the past few days have taught me anything it's never to underestimate the power of nature and the sea. We survived Hurricane Dorian with only minor damage but many parts of the Maritimes were not so lucky. It will probably be some time before the full cost of the storm will be understood. Today though, all is calm and the early morning sun is shining off the water in the bay. Despite the scary weekend, I love living by the sea. Today's project is another that I created a little while ... VIEW POST

You Me & The Sea

August 9, 2019 2 Comments

I love notebooks, and as a papercrafter I love decorating them too. Whether it's for a simple list, or to record something more permanent, notebooks are a big part of my life. Big or small, ruled or plain, you can never have enough. My late son Russell obviously took after me as when we went through his things we found lots of notebooks. He was an avid reader and loved to write his own stories, even going so far as to take courses in creative writing. His genre was science fiction, and I ... VIEW POST

Wallace Museum Wants Me

August 5, 2019 4 Comments

While I do use some of what I make, I can't keep everything and it's nice to give others the opportunity to buy them. A little while back I had a table at a local event and I was approached by the Manager from the Wallace and Area Museum. She loved my creations and asked if I would be willing to provide items for their gift shop. Would I? Most definitely! So I've been designing and making things that would reflect the feel and focus of the Museum and the Come Sail Away suite has been ... VIEW POST
