My regular readers will know that I see in Stampin' Up! colours. As I'm going about my daily life I notice colour combinations and these often turn up in my projects. Sometime over the past week or two I saw a colour combination and made a note of it. Sadly I forgot to record the exact circumstances. However when I put the colours together on some card a sunset emerged. Then with a few extra touches I created today's project. SUNSET BACKGROUND I created this sunset background using ... VIEW POST
Enjoying The Sun And Flowers
Today we finally have blue skies and sunshine, the first in quite a while it seems. I can't tell you how nice it is, even if the temperature's still a little chilly. Many of the birds are back and it's fun watching them from where I'm working. Sadly there's still no flowers blooming in the garden, so for those I had to look closer to me. I have so many choices in my craft studio, but today decided on the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper. Then in no time at all I had my simple ... VIEW POST
In Love With Soft Sponged Blossoms
Recently I've been playing with different ways to colour stamped images. I've watercoloured using both ink and pencils, and I've used Stampin' Blends and Stampin' Write Markers.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing – Lovely Day
It's the last Thursday of the month and time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. The February kit "Lovely Day" was so hard to put down with a box full of gorgeous stamps and kit pieces.

CELEBRATE WITH A LOVELY DAY My first alternate project using the Lovely Day kit is a striking but simple card. I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut and score some Rococo Rose Card. Then I ...

Use An Embossing Folder For Added Interest
Whenever I get a new stamp set I love to create a whole bunch of projects. Some are simpler than others, and some combine the new stamps with other older (but still available) products in my craft studio. So this is how I ended up with this sweet and simple bookmark, using a favourite embossing folder for extra interest. FIRST CULTIVATE YOUR POPPIES I began my bookmark with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of Thick Whisper White Card. First I shaped the top of the strip and added the ribbon slot ... VIEW POST
Summer Scene In The Middle Of Winter
The snow flurries continued to fly yesterday and I decided to spend the day indoors. I still have a number of new stamp sets to try out so it wasn't as if I needed any persuading. For today's Simple Sunday project I wanted to get away, to a warmer, sunnier place. So I pulled out the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set and set to work creating a quick summer scene. FIRST THINGS FIRST Before I could begin stamping I first needed to prepare my bookmark base from Thick Very Vanilla Card. So I ... VIEW POST
