My regular readers will know that I like to get the most from my craft budget, and that means being creative with materials. I love taking products that have a specific theme and finding ways to make something totally different. But when I got my hands on the free Penguin Playmates 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) I didn't have to think too hard. The Penguin Playmates DSP features a selection of cute critters enjoying time in the snow. It coordinates with the Penguin Place Stamp Set ... VIEW POST
Sheep Stamp Set And Dies Sneak Peek
You know I'm a sucker for cute animal images right? So you shouldn't be surprised at today's sneak peek project from the new Sale-A-Bration Brochure. When my pre-order qualified for two free products I had to choose the Counting Sheep Stamp Set and coordinating Sheep Dies. Once I had my hands on them I decided my first project should be a gift tag, and these new products didn't disappoint. BACKGROUND SCENE I began my tag with an idea for a simple background scene. First I cut a 2" x ... VIEW POST
Many Messages So Choose What You Want
There's less than a week left to take advantage of Sale-A-Bration and get free products. I think of all the free products offered, my favourite has to be the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (DSP).

These make great backgrounds and are a nice change from the florals. So today I decided to remedy that with ... VIEW POST
Too Early For Berry Jam Making?
It's still very much winter here in Nova Scotia with a couple of fresh inches of snow on the ground. It looks so pretty now that the sun is out with very few clouds in the blue sky. It is chilly though. But today I'm feeling positive, thinking ahead to when things start growing in the garden again. So as I sat down to make today's simple Sunday project an idea popped into my head. I'd start preparing for berry season with a simple jam jar wrap. TASTY BERRY PAPER This all started ... VIEW POST
Hello From A Mystery Stamping Project
Last week I experienced a new crafting concept, "mystery stamping', with my friend Cathy Miller. This is where you are given a list of materials and tools, plus measurements to cut the various pieces. But what you're not given at this stage is a photo or sketch of the finished project. Then, over the course of an hour in this case, we were given the steps to create our project. But still without a visual reference for where the project was heading. At the end of the hour we shared our ... VIEW POST
Yellow Umbrella And Strawberry Rain
Have you ever looked at something and seen something entirely different? That's what happened when I was making today's project. It all started when I had a few packs of Designer Series Paper (DSP) on my desk and was looking for inspiration. Then I saw raindrops, and was immediately wanted to pair it with the Under My Umbrella Stamp Set and Umbrella Builder Punch. It was later, much later, when I realised my 'rain' was in fact an extreme close up of a strawberry! BERRY COLOURFUL ... VIEW POST
