My daughter happily told me that where she is in the UK it’s +13C before noon and they’re all in shorts. Here it’s barely +4C and I’ve no plans to put away my warm clothes for a while. Spring is coming though and with it will go all thoughts of winter, even in my craft studio. But not quite yet as I continue my review of retiring products. Today’s project features the retiring Snowman Season Stamp Set and coordinating (and also retiring) Snowman Builder Punch. I’m going to miss them. LET'S ... VIEW POST
On The Cusp Of Snowman Season
We haven't had snow, yet, but I can feel it's coming. I've finally had to give in and get out some warmer clothes, and the heavier quilt's on the bed too. It's now I start thinking that I'd definitely be happier if we could have the beauty of snow without the cold. I'm not good with cold, for me winter is more likely to be spent papercrafting than outdoors. Last week I created a few different projects using the Snowman Season Stamp Set for the November IDEAS Tutorial PDF. This latest ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop – Punch It Up
Today is an exciting day for me as I join the IDEAS Design Team in time for their November blog hop and Tutorial PDF release. This month the theme is "Punch It Up" and our brief was to create projects using our favourite punch. I could have chosen something that coordinates with a stamp set, but opted for something completely different instead. I decided to focus on the punch I use more than any other, the Detailed Trio Punch. SNOWMAN SEASON OK I know I've used the Snowman Season Stamp ... VIEW POST
Deer In The Garden Make Me Happy
Now that the days are getting shorter it definitely feels like the garden is starting to wind down. We've been leaving some of our windfall apples on the ground and they regularly attract the deer. At this time of year I love seeing the velvet covered antlers as the small group visits the tree closest to the house. There's something very calming about seeing the wildlife in the garden just being themselves. It certainly sets me up for a happy start to the day. So when I was working on my ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Winter Scenes Won’t Be Long
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
A Paper Pumpkin Thing – The Adventure Begins
It may be August but today's A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop features the July kit called The Adventure Begins, and what an adventure it's been. With everything included to make twelve tri-fold cards it was hard to know where to start. There were so many possibilities. The scenic backgrounds lend themselves to lots of occasions so for today's alternate projects I decided to go with Christmas. Well why not? And just to make the kit stretch even further my two cards used just one card base ... VIEW POST
