It's Sunday, Mother's Day here in Canada and I woke up knowing exactly what I was going to make. It was all going fine right up until I remembered I needed to print off a photo of myself with my daughter and granddaughter. It was only then I realised that I hadn't yet received my delivery of printer ink. So while I can show you my project, you'll have to imagine the photo in place. PHOTO MAT This photo frame project was really quick to put together. I started with a piece of Thick ... VIEW POST
A Card for Mother’s Day
Happy North American Mother's Day (the UK had their Mother's Day back in March). Today's Simple Sunday project had to be a Mother's Day card, but would work with any number of other sentiments. MOTHER'S DAY TEA TOGETHER I began my project by stamping the rose image from the Tea Together Stamp Set in the bottom right corner on a layer of Very Vanilla Card using Tuxedo Black ink. Then I stamped it again onto a scrap of Thick Very Vanilla Card. Instead of my usual yellow rose I ... VIEW POST
Tea Together for #WWYS216
I'm so pleased that this week's stamp set for the What Will You Stamp? challenge will be in the 2019/2020 Annual Catalogue from Stampin Up! Also making an appearance in that new catalogue will be coordinating dies for this stamp set. But my Design Team project for #WWYS216 - Tea Together, uses a different die today, the retiring Celebrate You Thinlits. I started my project with some of the retiring Watercolor Paper and my Stamparatus. Using StazOn Jet Black ink I stamped the rose from ... VIEW POST
Mother’s Day In The UK
Today is Mother's Day in the UK. It's much earlier than here in Canada, just like the blooming of their daffodils. As my daughter and granddaughter live in the UK I think I should get Mother's Day twice, although my daughter does not always agree with me on this. Still, that didn't stop me creating today's Simple Sunday project. MOTHER'S DAY I don't drink tea, but I fell in love with the Tea Together Stamp Set, especially one particular sentiment. As soon as I saw it I knew I'd have ... VIEW POST
Two Types Of Marker
I was talking with a customer recently about Stampin' Blends alcohol markers and the expanding range of colours that are now available. During our chat I happened to mention that she could use any of the Stampin' Up! Classic Stampin' Pads to stamp her images. This came as a surprise to her, and it occurred to me that this might be a fact that's not widely known. It also got me thinking about the two types of marker sold by Stampin' Up! So for today's project I want to show just one way to ... VIEW POST
Love Is Drinking The Tea
When I was a little girl visiting our grandparents was a real treat. We didn't always have a car so it didn't happen as much as any of us would have liked. When we did go I remember being reminded about manners and acceptable behaviour. Not that we needed reminding, the way our grandparents behaved and spoke was reminder enough. When Grandma would offer us a plate of biscuits we only took one, and had to be persuaded to take a second. Mum always mentioned that Grandma was never asked "how ... VIEW POST
