Ever since I first saw the Snailed It Stamp Set I had a project idea in my head. My regular readers will know I love notebooks. Yes I know I can keep information on my phone or computer and technology does have its place, however a notebook doesn't need to be charged or plugged in to work. So when I was thinking about "snail mail" I decided to decorate an actual a-z index book. ACCIDENTAL COORDINATION I must admit that when it comes to keeping snail mail addresses in an real book, I ... VIEW POST
Snailed It Stamp Set For A Fun Card
I fell in love with the Snailed It Stamp Set the minute I saw it in the Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalogue.

Plus there's the Snail Mail 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) which ... VIEW POST
Snail Dies But Without The Snail

I make a point of checking it often as there's always things I overlook the first or second time round. Even so, sometimes it's easy to miss something simply because I make an assumption which turns out to be wrong. So today's cute bookmark project comes with a cautionary tale that even Stampin' Blends aren't immune from the cut! HELLO HELLO My project ... VIEW POST
Hello From A Mystery Stamping Project
Last week I experienced a new crafting concept, "mystery stamping', with my friend Cathy Miller. This is where you are given a list of materials and tools, plus measurements to cut the various pieces. But what you're not given at this stage is a photo or sketch of the finished project. Then, over the course of an hour in this case, we were given the steps to create our project. But still without a visual reference for where the project was heading. At the end of the hour we shared our ... VIEW POST
