While it’s the images that often draw me to a new stamp set, I love fun sentiments. In the Stampin’ Up! 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue it was Lighthearted Lines that caught my eye. So when their new Mini Catalogue was revealed I wondered if there would be something similar. Bragworthy was exactly what I was hoping for and I’ve already made a few projects using this set. Today though I finally got around to the sentiment that gave the stamp set its name, and all it took was a ... VIEW POST
Another Special Moments Idea
We all have a friend who’s completely daft. Sometimes more than one. They’re the one who keeps you laughing with their ideas and antics. Who pull silly faces and say silly things, and without whom life would be very boring indeed. So when I was asked to create a cover for a pocket photo album this was my brief.

Start Here With Playful Alphabet Dies
It's Groundhog Day! It's also 2/2/22 although I'm not whether that has any mystical significance. It's also exactly three months until the end of the Stampin' Up! 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue.

Not because I don't like them, but simply that they've been around a couple of years and sales are likely dropping off. So to show off these useful dies (and some free paper) I ... VIEW POST
Simply Marbleous Satin Paper
Well yesterday was interesting. Hubby was out with the snowblower for more than 5 hours trying to clear our driveway after the snowstorm. While the wind scrubbed some areas, in others we had snowdrifts up to 5 feet deep. The road was just as bad, making for challenging conditions for the snowplow driver. But with the sunshine revealing the patterns carved in the snow by the wind I was reminded of the free Simply Marbleous 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP). So that's what I wanted to ... VIEW POST
Inspired By Swimming Otters
Well today is definitely going to be 'one of those days'. It started out fine, I had an idea for a project and it came together pretty easily. Then I took the photos for my blog and sat down to edit them. And it was here that things started to go awry. My photo editing programme simply wouldn't load and it took several reboots of the computer to get it going again. It's a good job the Awesome Otters Stamp Set is a cute one. Maybe I should just relax like that otter and just go with the ... VIEW POST
