We haven't seen much of our resident red squirrels during the spring and summer, but that's about to change. With autumn, their activity is much more noticeable as they stock their larders. Come the heavy snow of winter we'll put out a few nuts and raisins each day to keep them going. We love watching them and seeing which of the treats they go for first. So it was no surprise when I decided to add the Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set to my collection. Like the real squirrels, there's ... VIEW POST
Penguin Place Plus 23 Other Cards Completed
If you saw my blog posts over the past couple of days, or follow me on Facebook, you'll know I've been working on a personal challenge. Yesterday was World Card Making Day and as in previous years I decided to attempt another 24 hour challenge. This where I challenge myself to design and make from scratch, 24 cards in a single 24 hour period. The cards also have to be decorated inside and have coordinating envelopes, so no skimping! I started at 6pm on Friday, managed about 5 hours sleep ... VIEW POST
Nothing’s Better Than Coffee Today
Today, October 1st is International Coffee Day. That's a good thing because I think I shall be drinking quite a lot of it over the next 36 hours or so.

That's design and make from scratch, twenty four different cards with decorated insides plus coordinating envelopes, all within a single twenty four hour period. Unfortunately before that happens I have to deal with a Bell ... VIEW POST
Delivering Cheer With A Large Bouquet

This is the process used with the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set which comes with a couple of bodies complete with legs and feet. After stamping the body, you then add one of three images featuring hands that are holding a large item so no ... VIEW POST
Hand-Penned For A Simple Sunday Card
One of the first stamp sets I bought from the Stampin' Up! 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue was Hand-Penned Petals. There was something about the line-drawn floral images that I knew would inspire me. Fast forward a few months and I haven't been disappointed. I continue to pull out this set and the ideas keep on coming. To prove my point I've a new Hand-Penned Petals project for you today. In this simple Sunday project I used one of outline images for both the focal point and the ... VIEW POST
Strawberry Patch Bundle Discovery
It used to be that when Stampin' Up! changed from one catalogue to the next all the bundles retired. That meant that even if the individual items remained available, you could no longer buy them together at a discount. A couple of years ago that changed and Stampin' Up! began carrying over a few of the most popular bundles. I always try to keep on top of these but inevitably some slip by me. That's what happened with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle. I made today's strawberry patch gift tag, but ... VIEW POST
