The very first card I made as part of my World Card Making Day challenge was this good luck card. I have to say that it's one of my favourites. I'm not sure if it's the colour scheme or the very striking inked embossing folder, whatever it is I love it. GOOD LUCK This card and my challenge began with the good luck sentiment from the Believe You Can (Host) Stamp Set. I stamped the image onto a piece of Very Vanilla Card using Tuxedo Black ink, then set to work with my Stampin' Blends ... VIEW POST
Bird Ballad Notebook Minus The Birds
It's the first day of autumn and while the garden is already changing I'm not quite ready to give up on summer flowers. So today I decided to revisit the Bird Ballad suite but focus on one of the pretty floral designs in the Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. My regular readers will know that I love anything that helps me stay organised, so what better way to extend summer than with a pretty floral notebook. A NEW NOTEBOOK I began with an uninspiring 5" x 7" ruled notebook from ... VIEW POST
Beautiful Painted Glass

I know I'm not the only person who is attracted to pretty notebooks and pads, but I'm not keen ... VIEW POST
Crafting with Re-purpose
Do you have a hard time throwing things away because you might find a use for them in your crafting? This happens to me more often than I care to admit. So today I decided to finally re-purpose one of the very sturdy boxes that originally contained a module for the new Storage by Stampin' Up!® range. In fact to be more specific, the box contained a set of 5 trays for my Stampin' Blends. ONE BIG BOX TO RE-PURPOSE This box is 6" wide by 6" high by 5" deep. It's also very sturdy which ... VIEW POST
