It’s the weekend and it looks like it’s going to be a lovely day. That’s a good thing as my granddaughter and I have plans to visit a Powwow. I’ve never been to one before and am not sure what to expect. However I’m sure I’ll be taking lots of photos. So to store our memories I decorated this large notebook with a very tactile wood-effect background using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. All it took was card and ink, along with a second run through my Cut & Emboss Machine. My project ... VIEW POST

Daisies And More
At last the Stampin’ Up! 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue is live and products are available for customers to buy. Over the past week I’ve brought you sneak peeks of just a few of the items I was able to buy in advance. Now, like you I’m able to choose from the entire catalogue. But with a limited budget it’s hard to know what to prioritise first. In the end I settled on some additional cardstock in some of my favourite new colours along with some ink pads and Stampin’ Blends. Then I added in a few ... VIEW POST
Cheerful Daisies
Daisies make me smile. Whether that’s big cultivated Gerberas or small wild daisies in the lawn, seeing them simply brightens my day. So I was excited to discover the new, and aptly named, Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set in the Stampin’ Up! 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue. While there are four sentiments in the set, it was versatility of the three main daisies that caught my eye. I decided to use the two full flower images, along with a stem and the leaf to create today’s sneak peek project, a colourful ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Snowy Morning
With a very long list of things I want to accomplish today I decided to get up early. I love getting up while it’s still dark, and try to time my first coffee break so I can watch the sun rise. Today I was in for another treat as we had a dusting of snow too. There’s something very peaceful about fresh snow on the ground, especially when there’s not so much it will have to be shovelled. It also inspired this quick robin project made for a good friend. PEACEFUL MOMENTS I began by ... VIEW POST
