Where do you get your colour inspiration? I often make a note of colour combinations I see on clothes and household linens while I’m shopping. I also love to wander around the garden and take my cue from nature. In the summer there’s lots of pinks, reds and oranges. Autumn also has these colours, but the tones are quite different. Winter brings neutral colours like greys and browns. But right now I see blues and purples, and that’s what I was thinking of when I created today’s pretty card ... VIEW POST
Caught Up In The Moment
I’ve always been enthralled by nature, and even more so since moving to Nova Scotia. We’re very fortunate to have a large piece of land that attracts all sorts of wildlife. Just recently we’ve been treated to daily visits from a number of white tailed deer and today was no exception. Although I counted 10 deer eating at various spots, what caught my attention was something just off to the side, two small fawns hidden in the long grass. At that moment I couldn’t help but simply stand and ... VIEW POST
Simple Stamping with Friendly Hello
So after yesterday's fun easel calendar, today's simple Sunday sneak peek project is a quick and easy card. This one uses two products available for free during the Sale-A-Bration promotion which starts on January 4th. I say two, but actually it's a single bundle. So choose this and you'll get the Friendly Hello Stamp Set and coordinating Friendly Hello 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love the 13 piece photopolymer stamp set. But what really drew me in was the DSP pack with its ... VIEW POST
Back On Your Feet Meets Many Messages
I'm having altogether too much fun combining elements from different stamp sets right now. Just when I think I've exhausted my imagination something else comes along to excite me. This time it was the unlikely pairing of the Back On Your Feet Stamp Set and the multi-sentiment Many Messages Stamp. I always think of Back On Your Feet as a stamp set for get well projects but it doesn't have to be that limited. It was my determination to show how you can use the Many Messages Stamp Set without ... VIEW POST
Pets Always Keep Us On Our Toes
I'm a cat person. There I've said it. I had a variety of pets as a child, dogs, cats, rabbits etc. But I love the individuality and personality of cats. We currently have Houdini (who's just popped into the craft room to remind me I haven't given him breakfast...). He's a sweet black cat, 11 years old now, but still spritely enough to catch the occasional mouse. Last month right in the middle of my 24 cards in 24 hours challenge Houdini caught me unawares and brought a live mouse into the ... VIEW POST
Nature’s Harvest For A Thank You Card
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
