Whenever I consider buying new packs of patterned paper I always look for versatility. Does this paper only work with one or two occasions, or does it have a wider appeal? The Simply Elegant 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) ticks all the boxes for me. It has designs with shiny foil elements, and it has designs without foil. There's flowers which will appeal to some, and other patterns that are more masculine or gender-neutral. So for today's project I wanted to focus on the ... VIEW POST
Gift Wrap That’s Cheap And Recyclable
It's so frustrating when you come to wrap a gift only to find you don't have anything suitable. I have blue baby paper. In fact I've had that blue baby paper for quite some time, but it's not what I need. So several years ago I decided that the only way to make sure I have the wrapping paper I want is to make my own. I trotted down to my local U-Haul depot (a moving company here in Canada), and bought a box of wrapping paper. The box I chose had about 100 sheets of clean white newsprint ... VIEW POST
Two Colour Flower With Elegantly Said
Have you had a chance to look through the July to December Mini Catalogue yet? I spent a couple of very happy hours yesterday reviewing my wish list. Sadly I wasn't able to place an order as my replacement credit card seemed to have gone missing at the UPS depot in Dartmouth. Today though I have a notification that they expect to deliver it to me today. I can't wait! To keep myself busy while I wait for UPS to arrive I decided to have another play with the Elegantly Said Stamp Set. I love ... VIEW POST
Squirrels – Another Addition To My Menagerie
It may be August, but there was a definite nip in the air this morning and it won't be long before we see the first signs of autumn. So that means we're likely to notice our resident squirrels and chipmunks as they begin to stock their larders. During last winter we had a couple of squirrels visit our front deck each morning for a few nuts and raisins that we put out for them. I wonder if they'll expect the same breakfast service this year? Today's new product sneak peek is the Nuts About ... VIEW POST
Heath & Happiness With Happy Holly-Days
So after yesterday's gorgeous new Designer Series Paper, today I have a sneak peek of a new stamp set for you. After seeing the large bird image, Happy Holly-Days had to be on my wish list and I couldn't wait to ink it up. I actually have a lot of ideas for this set but today I wanted to keep things fairly simple. SWEET ROBIN I began my project with a 3-1/4" x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla Card. I'd decided on neutral tones so chose Soft Suede ink for all my stamping. Taking the ... VIEW POST
Elegantly Drawn, Elegantly Said
Do you ever find yourself drawn to an image but then struggle to actually use it on a project? It's happened to me more than once. I had a horrible feeling that was going to be my fate with the Elegantly Said Stamp Set. So rather than stress, I just left the stamp set on my desk where I could see see it. After a few days working on other things ideas started to pop into my head. Maybe they won't all work out, but it's certainly not the creative block I was dreading. So here's my first ... VIEW POST
