I find inspiration everywhere. A lot of it comes from our garden and the view over the bay. Today's project is different. My inspiration came from a Chinese New Year display in my local Walmart. The display I saw was full of red and gold colours that are considered lucky. So I immediately thought of creating something with a Good Luck sentiment. NOT CHINESE NEW YEAR I began with a piece of Very Vanilla Card that I wiped with an Embossing Buddy to remove any oils and static. ... VIEW POST
Shake It Up With Ice Stampin’ Glitter
Today I started out to make a shaker gift tag with Ice Stampin' Glitter. I'm really happy with the results but now I don't know If I've made a tag or a decor piece. Maybe I should let you decide... FEELS LIKE FROST This tag all started when I found a small scrap of paper from the Feels Like Frost 6"x6" Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). To make a shaker tag I had to create a frame and decided on the Stitched Rectangles Dies for that. Making the most of what I had, I found the ... VIEW POST
An Inky Idea – Faded Edges
OK I'm officially panicking now, I've just realised that it's only 43 days to Christmas. That's just 6 weeks! And so many things need to be done well ahead of then, like making and mailing Christmas cards and gift tags. No more procrastinating, I need to just get in the craft room and get it done. That's not to say it won't be fun, especially when I get to experiment with my supplies. Like the other day when I discovered faded edges... PINE BOUGHS This tag actually started with the ...

Final Shades of Autumn
With the recent wind and colder weather our garden had taken on a rather sad feel. The beautiful autumn colours of the past few weeks are all but a memory, and while there's still some colour in the grass, even that's not as vibrant. Today's project is an autumn card I made in early October as part of my personal World Card Making Day challenge. Even though I was working under the pressure of the clock, I still love how this turned out. WOODEN BASE I began this project with the ... VIEW POST
Learn To Make A Simple Box
Yesterday my friend Carol reminded me that was only 63 days to Christmas. That's three months, but as crafters you and I know that time will simply fly by. So to get us all prepared I thought I should do a weekly series on gift packaging. Today I have a simple box. It's essentially an open tray, and if you want a lid you make another slightly larger tray. The trick is to get the two trays to fit well. MAKING THE SIMPLE BOX Some time ago I made a video explaining how to make this ... VIEW POST
Wallace Museum Wants Me
While I do use some of what I make, I can't keep everything and it's nice to give others the opportunity to buy them. A little while back I had a table at a local event and I was approached by the Manager from the Wallace and Area Museum. She loved my creations and asked if I would be willing to provide items for their gift shop. Would I? Most definitely! So I've been designing and making things that would reflect the feel and focus of the Museum and the Come Sail Away suite has been ... VIEW POST
