It's time to get out the thermals. All our snow has been washed away and it looks like it will be a green Christmas. Not that I'll want to go out, it's getting much colder and I'm definitely a warm weather person. Later today with the wind it's going to feel like minus 17C! Brrr, much to cold for me. So I'll take it as a sign that I'm meant to stay home and play. Yesterday I took delivery of a box of goodies from the new January to June 2022 Mini Catalogue so I have sneak peek projects to ...

Snowflakes In Silhouette… Why Not?
On Friday I took delivery of some new products from the Stampin' Up! January to June 2022 Mini Catalogue. I'm excited to start exploring the what I've received in my pre-order, but first I have a few more Christmas projects to make. While I was putting away my new stuff I found some Christmas/winter stamp sets and dies from the Annual Catalogue. While they're still considered 'current', they've been around a while and are likely to retire in a few months. So I've decided to give them one ... VIEW POST
Snowflake Wishes For Winter Thanks
Oh my goodness it's feeling cold enough for snow! There doesn't seem to be any in the forecast but it's definitely time to start planning warm winter meals! Yesterday was a big day for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as we got our first proper look at the January to June 2022 Mini Catalogue. However what's more important is that the Retiring and Carry-Over lists that were also revealed! Today I'll be marking up my July to December Mini Catalogue, and if I have queries I'll discuss them with ... VIEW POST
On The Cusp Of Snowman Season
We haven't had snow, yet, but I can feel it's coming. I've finally had to give in and get out some warmer clothes, and the heavier quilt's on the bed too. It's now I start thinking that I'd definitely be happier if we could have the beauty of snow without the cold. I'm not good with cold, for me winter is more likely to be spent papercrafting than outdoors. Last week I created a few different projects using the Snowman Season Stamp Set for the November IDEAS Tutorial PDF. This latest ... VIEW POST
Playing With Another Penguin
When I'm papercrafting I often sit down with no particular idea in mind. If I'm looking for inspiration it may be as simple as picking up a stamp set and starting to stamp. Once I've completed one step, the next one seems to come naturally. My strategy is to just keep playing and see where the journey takes me. That doesn't mean I do something and then never change my mind. It happens. However any unused pieces will be set aside and end up on another project later. I must admit though ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop – Punch It Up
Today is an exciting day for me as I join the IDEAS Design Team in time for their November blog hop and Tutorial PDF release. This month the theme is "Punch It Up" and our brief was to create projects using our favourite punch. I could have chosen something that coordinates with a stamp set, but opted for something completely different instead. I decided to focus on the punch I use more than any other, the Detailed Trio Punch. SNOWMAN SEASON OK I know I've used the Snowman Season Stamp ... VIEW POST
