So as the weather cools down and then warms up we're obviously heading into autumn. We're not quite into sweater weather yet, but it's coming. I think I'm ready, or am I? I suppose my problem is that the actual weather never quite lives up to the exciting or romanticised scenes I have in my head. The only one that comes close is winter after a fresh snowfall. This is of course until I have to start shovelling. It was for this reason that I couldn't resist the Peaceful Place 12" x 12" ... 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
The Adventure Continues With Count On Me
Every time I think Paper Pumpkin kits can't get any better they up the ante. The July kit called "The Adventure Begins" did it again.

I loved the outdoor theme and immediately an idea for alternate projects popped into my head. What goes well with the great outdoors? Animals of ... VIEW POST
Sailing Away On An Alcohol Ink Background
Over the past couple of days I've been playing in my craft studio with no particular project in mind. Instead I've been experimenting with different background techniques. Now I have a small collection of prepared backgrounds that I can use on future projects. Among other things I finally tried out the Stampin' Blends alcohol technique on Vellum Cardstock. I have to say I wasn't disappointed by the results and I decided to turn a blue version into a seascape. With the addition of the ... VIEW POST
Friends And Family Time On The Way
How's your day been so far? Mine's been fantastic. Yesterday I went for my second PCR test in Nova Scotia since returning from the UK. It was actually the fifth test I've taken in the past 18 days, but who's counting? Anyway, this morning at 7.10am AST the lab results came through showing I am negative for Covid 19. Not that I expected anything else, but you can never be too sure. Still it means that I can now confidently meet up with friends and family again and I can't wait. Well ... VIEW POST
Starting With After The Storm
Yesterday my quarantine was given a lift with a delivery from Stampin' Up! I didn't order a huge amount, but I knew I'd welcome something new to play with. One of the stamp sets that caught my eye was After The Storm. It's a fairly simple set with storm cloud images, sun rays and two tiny flying bird images. The four sentiments in the set are great for supportive thinking of you type cards. Today though I used the stamp set to create an inspirational bookmark. STORM CLOUDS I began ... VIEW POST
