Now autumn has definitely arrived in Nova Scotia and I'm enjoying watching the amazing transformation in the garden. It's the same when I travel around the area where the farmers get on with their harvest and begin to prepare for winter. So it's hardly surprising that once again I was drawn to autumn colours and the Nature's Harvest Stamp Set. Today my colour palette was all about warm red and orange. ACCIDENTAL COLOURS It may not be obvious from the main photo, but this colour scheme ... VIEW POST
Rediscovering The Sunflowers
Autumn is definitely getting a foothold here in Nova Scotia. As I drove into town yesterday I noticed quite a few trees have started to replace green with bright reds and yellows. While we don't have any fields of sunflowers, somehow when I think of autumn I always think of them. So today I decided that I'd pull out the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set and coordinating Sunflowers Dies for this pretty gift tag. CELEBRATE SUNFLOWERS WITH MARKERS Instead of ink pads I thought it would be ... VIEW POST
Technique Practice With Garden Birdhouses
The past couple of days I've been working late at the pharmacy, and I'm not good with late nights. I'm an early bird and definitely in the 'early to bed early to rise' camp.

So I decided to create a bookmark, it's not too overwhelming but gives me an opportunity to create something pretty. This ... VIEW POST
California Poppy For A Brighter Monday
Once again the weekend disappeared and we're faced with another Monday morning. It's not all bad of course, the weather is set to be bright and sunny, and not too humid.

That means I have a stack of chores to get done this morning if I want the whole afternoon to play. So here's a quick card with a California poppy so you can have a bright start your your Monday too.

Twice Penned For A Different Look
Right now we're in the middle of a terrific thunderstorm and watching the lightning website it really is all around us. So today's blog post is going to be a quick one. Fortunately the project I have for you is super simple. It all hinges on the large floral image from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set. SIMPLE GET WELL CARD First though I chose my colour scheme and for what I had in mind black and white was perfect. I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut and score a piece of Basic ... 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
