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 when my routine is disrupted and I finally have time for a crafting session I often start simple. Today I just wanted to practice a few techniques for adding colour to my stamped creations. 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. I've also noticed that a parcel from Stampin' Up! has made good progress and will be delivered to me a day early. 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
Hats Off To Enhanced Faux Stitching
I don't know what it is about Nova Scotia but it seems just about everyone (guys at least) wear hats. I friend showed me her husband's collection the other day and the closet reminded me of others I'd seen. So I suppose it was only fitting that I get the new Hats Off Stamp Set and Hat Builder Dies from Stampin' Up!. They've got lots amazing details but I thought I could step it up a notch with some enhanced faux stitching. HATS OFF TO THE DESIGNERS I began by choosing the small floral ... VIEW POST
Petal Pink Finally Has Me Hooked
When Stampin' Up! refreshed its colour range a couple of years ago I had mixed feelings. Out went some of my favourite colours, but so too did some I wasn't keen on so that balanced it out. Of all the new colours I suppose the one I've struggled with the most is Petal Pink. There was just something about Petal Pink that made me avoid it when designing projects. Perhaps it was because the colour wasn't a proper 'pink'. It took a while, but suddenly I'm in love with Petal Pink. It's still ... VIEW POST
