While I love bright colours, as some of my recent projects have demonstrated, I also like creating more muted projects. This is especially useful when you have to make a card in a hurry. My recent 24 cards in 24 hours marathon for World Card Making Day was just such an occasion. With the Nature's Harvest Stamp Set in my hand I needed something interesting but quick to put together. This was the result... NATURE'S HARVEST CONEFLOWER There's something about the coneflower in the ... VIEW POST
So Grateful Today With Ornate Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian followers and friends. I hope you're able to celebrate today in some way. While most of us enjoy a welcome day off, not everyone is so lucky. I'm thinking particularly of all the medical and emergency workers who will spend their day doing their job as usual while the rest of us relax. And it's not just those who are officially employed in those roles who deserve our thanks. Living in rural Nova Scotia we look to our volunteer fire department for ... VIEW POST

Penguin Place Plus 23 Other Cards Completed
If you saw my blog posts over the past couple of days, or follow me on Facebook, you'll know I've been working on a personal challenge. Yesterday was World Card Making Day and as in previous years I decided to attempt another 24 hour challenge. This where I challenge myself to design and make from scratch, 24 cards in a single 24 hour period. The cards also have to be decorated inside and have coordinating envelopes, so no skimping! I started at 6pm on Friday, managed about 5 hours sleep ... VIEW POST
Christmas Card Making In Bulk
One of the things I love about making my own cards is that I can make each one unique and as elaborate as I like. This often means spending a lot of time fussing with different tools and materials. If I'm making a card for a special occasion this is a labour of love and I'll keep going until I'm done. With Christmas however things get tricky. There's so many more cards to make that sometimes the amount of time I have for each one is greatly reduced. I still make some extra special ones, but ... VIEW POST
Rich Colours And Flying Owls
When people think of owls, particularly at this time of year, many often think of Halloween. I suppose they can be quite spooky with their silent flight and subsequent sudden appearance. But for me when I think of owls I'm more likely to think of Hedwig from the Harry Potter series of books. My regular followers will know that I love reading, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before I made an owl-themed bookmark. OWLS IN FLIGHT This project happened by accident as I was ...
