So a couple of years ago my daughter introduced me to "baby shark". Apparently it's a traditional children's song that went viral in 2016, but it's much older than that. Anyway, the lyrics, like most children's songs, are simple and guaranteed to get into your head. So with that in mind here's today's simple Sunday project, a bookmark featuring a baby shark. Doo doo doo doo doo doo... SIMPLE SHARK I began buy cutting a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of Whisper White Card. Next I cut a matching ... VIEW POST
Fishing For Another Fun Tag Idea
Today's fun fishing-themed "just for you" tag comes courtesy of a customer's comment. I made a card a couple of days ago featuring an umbrella where the handle was punched from silver foil sheet. She commented that at first glance she thought I'd used a paper clip and it got me thinking... What if I used a deconstructed paper clip on a project? Well later that day I was playing with the Whale Of A Time Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. and as they say, the rest is history... SEA ... VIEW POST
Whale This Could Get Me In Trouble
Today has been one of those frustrating mornings. Due to our very slow rural internet service I set a video to upload to YouTube overnight. Unfortunately when I came down this morning it had crashed and I had to start all over again. Then as I was trying to upload today's Whale Done! project the internet kept dropping out. So this whole thing has taken me so many more coffees than I'd planned. Still, it's done now, so now I get to spend a fun few hours creating in my studio. ... VIEW POST
Braces (Suspenders) And A Tie But No Suit
Today is the day I start my sneak peeks from the Stampin' Up! January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue. As expected the new catalogue is full of great products so there's bound to be something for everyone. I have a long wish list but my first Demonstrator order was fairly modest. First to make the cut was the amazing Suit & Tie Dies. There's a coordinating stamp set but today's project design didn't need that. BRACES OR SUSPENDERS? Oh my goodness where to start with the Suit & ... VIEW POST
Marking World Diabetes Day 2020
In 1991 the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organisation created World Diabetes Day. Then in 2006 it was adopted as an official United Nations Day. It is now held every year on November 14th, the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting who in 1922 co-discovered insulin with Charles Best. If you been following my blog for a while you may know that in June 2017 we lost our son to complications arising from his Type 1 diabetes. He was just 31 years old. So diabetes awareness ...

Zany Zebra Enjoys My Sea-nery
After a couple of Christmas cards I thought it was time for something different. So today I have another project from my 24 cards in 24 hours challenge. This one started out quite simply as a desire to make a birthday card using the Zany Zebras Stamp Set. In my search for some appropriate paper for the scenery, things definitely took a zany turn. ZANY ZEBRAS As I said this project all began with the Zany Zebras; the galloping zebra to be precise. Using Tuxedo Black ink I first ... VIEW POST
