Last month I showed you a bookmark with curved sides. It was fun and quite different but it was just one I created while playing with the Curvy Dies. Today I wanted to bring you another one but it's tinged with sadness. You see a few days ago Stampin' Up! revealed the list of products being retired from their range, and it included the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. I've loved the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch ever since it was first introduced. With one punch it shapes the top of a 2" wide ... VIEW POST
Hey Chick, Let’s Go Shopping!
At long last, after providing three negative CoVID tests in the space of 2 weeks, and completing my required self-isolation period in the UK, I am free to go out. So today my daughter and I will be making a quick trip to the shops for some essentials. Of course we're bound to come back with some other things too but that's OK. I'm planning a quick browse around the book section as they are so much cheaper in the UK than Canada. I even brought a couple of bookmarks with me just in case, ... VIEW POST
Try Watercolour Pencils With A Blender Pen

But have you tried using watercolour pencils with a Blender Pen? I like this method because it smooths the ... VIEW POST
Simply Playing With A Touch Of Ink
Waking up to fresh snow in the ground and with flurries in the forecast I was in the mood for something bright. After the sun came up, little footprints on the deck confirmed we'd had a visitor. We have three little red squirrels that come to help themselves to seeds and pieces of nuts that we leave out for the birds. We certainly don't mind, and our cat Houdini seems fascinated as he watches through the window not 12 inches from where they sit. The squirrels don't care either, they seem to ... VIEW POST
Treasures From Grandparent To Grandchild
Yesterday my granddaughter Alyssa decided to spend some of her birthday money. So with Mummy's help she ordered a whole set of books online. I wasn't surprised as she's a voracious reader and has quite the collection already. So as I sat down to make today's project I couldn't help but make her a bookmark. The new Treasures Of Life Stamp Set had the perfect image for this simple but special gift. SIMPLE TREASURES This was such a quick and easy gift to make and I began with a 2" x ... VIEW POST
True Love Is Battling Against The Storm
Just minutes after publishing yesterday's blog post we had our first power outage! It definitely seems like this winter storm could be coming in sooner than planned, so this will be a very short post. Still I promised you a sneak peek and that's what I have, using the new True Love Designer Series Paper (DSP). TRUE LOVE The True Love 12" x 12" DSP pack contains twelve double-sided sheets with twelve black and white designs (2 sheets of each). The designs are a mixture of florals and ... VIEW POST
