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
Pillowbox For Valentine’s & Weddings
If you're a regular follower of my blog you may remember a Christmas favour I created using the Pretty Pillow Box Dies. I was very late to the party with these dies and have been kicking myself for not getting them sooner. My Christmas pillowbox featured a simple poinsettia embellishment using just dies from the set. Today however I decided to create a treat / favour box for Valentine's day or a wedding. For the heart embellishments I needed to grab some dies from a second set, Give It A ... VIEW POST
A Paper Pumpkin Thing – Lots Of Pun
If you've been following my blog for a while you'll know that I love a good pun. So you can only imagine how egg-cited I was to get the December Paper Pumpkin kit called Lots of Pun.

Oh, and I couldn't help including a little new product sneak peek too... The exclusive stamp set included the Lots Of Pun kit ... VIEW POST
Love Shows With Treasures Of Life
Happy Valentine's Day! It's Sunday and that means it's time for a simple Sunday project. Today I couldn't resist using the Treasures of Life Stamp Set, and writing you a little poem. The sun is shining and the sky is blue here's a simple stamping project from me to you. x HEARTS ABOUND Being Valentine's Day I thought it appropriate to start with some hearts. So I pulled out the Snail Mail 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack and set to work. First I cut a 2-1/4" x 6" piece ... VIEW POST
Red & Grey For A Modern Valentine
Sunday is Valentine's Day and for most people it will be very different to last year. Still that doesn't stop us sending cards. When you visit the stores most card displays are a sea of red, and hearts abound. But often I feel that the designs are quite feminine, so today I wanted to do something a little different. GREY BASE I began this card several times, first with a card base in Pretty Peacock. Then I changed to Gray Granite, and I even toyed with Whisper White. Nothing really ... VIEW POST
Happy Making Love Hearts Treats
It's February, and that means you'll be seeing hearts everywhere as we head towards Valentine's Day. The shops are full of heart-shaped products, and the candy aisles have taken on a very red hue. One of the candies I picked up was a bag full of rolls of Love Hearts candies. These were quite inexpensive and I thought would make great treats or favours. So this morning I sat down to turn these uninspiring Love Hearts packs into something a little more giftable. HEARTS WRAP I began by ... VIEW POST
