"Time for a new adventure" with this bookmark created using the Way To Goat and Well Said Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Narnia Inspired Bookmark Just Happened

November 7, 2020 Leave a Comment

This morning's project is another one of those happy accidents that happen in my studio from time to time. I actually planned to make a Christmas gift tag but ended up with a bookmark. And not just any bookmark, one inspired by the Narnia books of C.S. Lewis. As it turns out my dancing goat doesn't match Mr. Tumnus' description in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but you get the idea. NARNIA THEME This project happened when I pulled out the Snowflake Splendor 12" x 12" Designer ... VIEW POST

Notebook collection grows again

October 8, 2020 Leave a Comment

My regular readers will know that I love a pretty notebook. Well I love any notebook really and have a lot of fun decorating them. Yesterday as I was playing in my studio with nothing specific in mind a notebook caught my eye. In fact it was a stack of notebooks, because why buy one when you can buy six, right? All I needed was some paper, some odd bits of card and a sentiment... PAPER AND CARD First came the poinsettia covered paper from the Flowers For Every Season 6" x 6" Designer ... VIEW POST

A Colourful View Of The Deck

July 21, 2020 Leave a Comment

What's your thoughts about images of empty chairs? My daughter says they make her think of someone dying. Me? I think of them as inviting me to sit and relax. That was my thought when I made my first project using the Seaside View Stamp Set. I wanted to create a colourful deck scene with a view over the water. Once I was done I thought it would be perfect to decorate a mini pocket photo album. So that's what I ended up with today. VIEW FROM A SHIP? I began with the image of two ... VIEW POST

Embellish With A Single Star

September 20, 2019 2 Comments

It seems ages since I last designed a masculine card so that was my challenge this morning. I grabbed some patterned paper, a stamp set and dies and set to work. I quite liked how it was going, but in the end it was the addition of a single metal star that made me happy. COME SAIL AWAY I began with the small yacht pattern from the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper (DSP). After cutting a piece I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) to mount it onto a layer of Whisper White ... VIEW POST

Lovely As A Tree is Retiring!!

April 14, 2019 2 Comments

As I write this blog post I am still in shock. Something I never imagined has finally happened. Stampin' Up! is retiring the Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set. Lovely As A Tree was the set that drew me to Stampin' Up! and is a classic. The stand of bare trees is one I've used many times in the 5 years I've had the set, and it seems only fitting that it's that image that I use on today's Simple Sunday project. #SIMPLESTAMPING I began with a piece of Thick Very Vanilla Card cut and scored on ...
