A few weeks ago I designed a gift tag using two different stamp sets that were made for each other, Seas the Day and Whale Done. At the end of the post I mentioned there was another stamp set that went perfectly with Whale Done. I promised to bring you a project showing what I meant, and today’s the day. I can’t believe I never noticed the link between Turtle Friends and Whale Done before, but here it is. Maybe I should look more closely at my other stamp sets... LOOK WHAT I FOUND! When ... VIEW POST
Elegantly Said On Valentine’s Day
Today is Valentine’s Day and Old Man Winter’s gift is another snow storm. Never mind, I wasn't really planning on going out. But instead I have a great excuse for continuing to migrate the contents of my old laptop to my new computer. Of course as I’m in the craft studio anyway I can take a break (or maybe several) to create something. Today I started with a very striking bookmark using the Elegantly Said and Turtle Friends Stamp Sets. It’s quite a simple layout but ... VIEW POST
Three Ways To Add Colour To A Turtle Scene
If you're fed up with flowers you'll be pleased to hear I finally managed to drag myself away from the Hand-Penned Suite. For a little while at least.

It’s Time To Shell-ebrate With Turtle Friends
My regular readers will know that I like a good pun and cute animal images. So you can imagine how I felt about the "It's time to shell-ebrate" sentiment in the Turtle Friends Stamp Set. This isn't the first project I've made with this set, but it's quick and easy and perfect for some simple Sunday creativity. TAG TALK I often start my simple tags with a 3" x 6" piece of card, scored at 3" and then folded along the scored line. Today I made the tag base using Soft Succulent Card. ... VIEW POST
Hello, Bonjour, G’Day And More
Hello again, and happy Wednesday. A few days ago I showed you a multi-language thank you card using one of the folders in the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folders pack. Today it's the turn of the multi-language "hello" folder for a sweet baby card. This time though, just to show you how amazing it is, there's no special treatment for the embossing folder. I also couldn't resist pulling out the Turtle Friends Stamp Set again. Turtles may be my new favourite creature. HELLO When I ... VIEW POST
Scrapbooking The Turtle-y Loved
As the keeper of our family history you'd think that I do a lot of scrapbooking. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. While designing cards, tags and other projects comes easily to me, scrapbooking is a completely different issue. So no one was more surprised than I when I found myself creating today's project using the Turtle Friends Stamp Set and coordinating punch. TURTLE-Y LOVED It all started with the "You are turtle-y loved" sentiment. "Turtle" is a term of ... VIEW POST
