As I mentioned yesterday we are expecting a powerful storm to hit us sometime today. In fact as you're reading this we might be in the thick of it. So I thought it would be prudent to try to get a few projects made ahead of time. With that done, I'm hoping to get the blog posts written just in case we lose power. If I can get today and tomorrow done before that happens I will consider that a victory. So for today I have a Simple Sunday project for you, this pretty bookmark. A SIMPLE ... VIEW POST
Home To Roost
There are so many wonderful free products in the 2019 Sale-A-Bration Brochure that it's taking me a while to get to them. This morning I decided to ink up the Home To Roost Stamp Set. It's a 6 piece cling mount set with four useful sentiments plus great rooster and grass images. I have a few different ideas for this set but for my first project I thought I'd keep it fairly simple. HOME TO ROOST Obviously I had to start with that rooster. Using Cajun Craze ink I stamped him onto a ... VIEW POST
Beautiful Promenade for #WWYS202
After taking a week off, the What Will You Stamp? Challenge is back with a new challenge today. This week we've gone back to the Annual Catalogue for WWYS202 - Beautiful Promenade.

SHADES OF GREEN I began my project with a search for some pretty but calming paper for the ... VIEW POST
Early Morning Moments
Do you make New Year's resolutions? I used to, but like most people I never stuck to them for long. Instead, two years ago I started a 'bullet journal'. In it I keep all my 'to do' lists, reminders and generally anything I want to remember. It's been a great help especially for those moments when an idea strikes me while I'm in the middle of something else. Now I have somewhere to write it and most importantly find it again. No more wondering what happened to that old envelope, or Post-It® ... VIEW POST
Hello Cupcake
I'm still working my way through new products from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Occasions Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration Brochure. Today I picked up the free Hello Cupcake Stamp Set and paired it with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies. I began with a piece of Very Vanilla Card and using Rich Razzleberry ink stamped the Sweet Wishes sentiment. Then on some more Very Vanilla Card I stamped the cupcake base with Rich Razzleberry ink, after first stamping off onto scrap paper. The next image ... VIEW POST
