Today I'm taking part in the monthly A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. This month it's all about the August kit called Hope Box. JUST HOPE For my first project I wanted to create something that was pretty clean and simple. The result was this "Hope" card. I began with the pink splattered card base and 12" of the gorgeous Blackberry Bliss 1" ribbon from the kit. I wrapped the ribbon around the card front and secured the ends on the front in the centre using Tear & Tape ... VIEW POST
First Outing For Sweets & Treats
With autumn just around the corner thoughts will soon turn to comfort foods. On a cool evening there's nothing like hot apple pie, and that's what attracted me to the new Sweets & Treats Stamp Set. This set has some great images featuring sweets or desserts, plus a cake stand and dome. There's also five sentiments covering a range of occasions. For my first project I fancied using the apple pie and cake stand to try out the no-line watercolouring technique. NO-LINE ... VIEW POST
Squirrels – Another Addition To My Menagerie
It may be August, but there was a definite nip in the air this morning and it won't be long before we see the first signs of autumn. So that means we're likely to notice our resident squirrels and chipmunks as they begin to stock their larders. During last winter we had a couple of squirrels visit our front deck each morning for a few nuts and raisins that we put out for them. I wonder if they'll expect the same breakfast service this year? Today's new product sneak peek is the Nuts About ... 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
Beautiful Moments Revisited Again
Oh I can't tell you how lovely it is to be back in my craft studio. After almost 4 months away, I get to play with some favourite products, as well as the few new ones I had while in the UK. Today I fancied a little painting and immediately reached for the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. With some ink pads and Water Painters it didn't take me long to create this pretty "Thinking of you" card. BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS SCENE My card started with the two girls from the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set. ... VIEW POST
Tropical Weather On The Horizon
Despite arriving back from the UK late on Saturday night, it wasn't until yesterday at I felt like I was home. Mind you I'm under mandatory quarantine for 14 days and so restricted to just three rooms. It's not all bad though because in addition to my bedroom and bathroom, I have one other room where I can spend my day, my craft studio. With the weather very hot and muggy yesterday I was drawn to the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set. I haven't used this set in ages, and it appears I haven't used ... VIEW POST
