Definitely Not Balloon Weather

April 4, 2019 Leave a Comment

We're halfway through a big storm and have already lost power once. Yesterday's torrential rain has ended and this morning we have beautiful sunny blue skies. Unfortunately the wind has been building steadily overnight and continues to strengthen. It's definitely not balloon weather, so why was that what I wanted on my project today? SIMPLE STYLE I began with a piece of Very Vanilla Card 2" x 3-1/2". I then found a strip of this blue design from the Tranquil Textures Designer Series ... VIEW POST

Miss You

March 19, 2019 2 Comments

For the past few days I've been working on getting my accounts sorted out. I'm a bit of a procrastinator and would much rather spend my time papercrafting, and I've finally had to set some boundaries. Yesterday I was in full-on accounts mode, but finally got everything together and delivered to my accountant. Yay! Sadly though that left little time to put together today's project. So I've a quick #simplestamping miss you card letting my craft studio know how I've been feeling. MISS YOU ... VIEW POST

Fly Fisherman Timing

January 29, 2019 Leave a Comment

Have you ever been fishing? I must admit it's a hobby that's never appealed to me, but I do appreciate the skills needed to succeed. Patience and preparation, being quiet and still then a sudden burst of activity. Even getting the hook into the water is an art form, especially if you're a fly fisherman. Today's project features the Best Catch Stamp Set and coordinating Catch of the Day Thinlits. I also have some important news from Stampin' Up!, but like that fisherman, you'll just have to ...

What A Catch

January 17, 2019 2 Comments

I'm always on the lookout for stamp sets and other products with a masculine feel. That's not to say they can't be used on projects for the ladies but they're less fussy and flowery. I am also drawn to products that reflect the area in which I live, Nova Scotia, Canada. So I'm more into fishing and woods than cactus and tropical beaches. So you can imagine my delight when I saw the new Best Catch Stamp Set. TESTING THE WATERS When I get a new stamp set I often start with a sort of ... VIEW POST

Good luck card created using the Amazing Life Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Good Luck, Bad Luck

January 10, 2019 2 Comments

I thought I'd have a simple start to my day. I pulled out the Amazing Life Stamp Set and settled on the good luck sentiment. I'd use a limited colour palette and a little Designer Series Paper and that would be it. No stress. Well that's what I planned anyway... GOOD LUCK It all started fine. I used Call Me Clover ink to stamp the 'good luck' sentiment onto some Thick Very Vanilla Card. Then set it aside. Next I used Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the clover image onto some Call Me ...

Dashing Into 2019

November 19, 2018 2 Comments

How are you doing with your Christmas preparations?  Me?  I haven't really started.  When there's just the two of you, there's not so much to do.  Plus when I ran a daycare centre I was so busy organising Christmas festivities there my own Christmas was all done on Christmas Eve.  Last minute became a necessity.   I am aware though that Christmas is only 36 days away, with New Year 7 days later.  This time will pass in an instant and I know we'll be dashing into 2019 before we know it. This ... VIEW POST
