Today my first task was to celebrate the launch of the Last Chance Promotion and Clearance Rack refresh with a small order. I was also planning to take advantage of a Demonstrator perk by placing an order for some new products from the January to April Mini Catalogue. But first I needed to finish my blog post. Unfortunately we had strong winds and torrential rain overnight which caused the power to go out. After 9 hours it’s finally restored, and so I’m celebrating the return of heat and light ...

Autumn Sadness
When I began cardmaking almost ten years ago I only had a few supplies. So in a desperate desire to make my meagre stash go as far as possible I began to experiment. While my stash has grown significantly I still love to make cards using white (or vanilla) and just one other colour. My first attempts were truly awful but thankfully I’ve refined the process using texture and layers. That was my plan while making this card featuring the retiring Fond of Autumn Stamp Set and coordinating ... VIEW POST
Christmas Occasions
Oh my goodness what a drive home I had yesterday. At 5pm it was pitch black and, much to my surprise, a snowstorm had developed. At some points visibility was near zero, fortunately there were very few cars on the road. I barely managed to get over 50kms an hour the whole drive home! Still, I made it, and now we have a pretty white blanket on the ground. Of all the occasions I create cards for Christmas is the busiest, but I’ve definitely had enough of snow for now. PRETTY ...

Penguin Weather
This time last week I was preparing for my first craft show of the season. I love talking to everyone who visits my table and get feedback on my designs. It’s funny how many people are drawn to projects that include images of animals and thankfully I had lots to show them. I do need to stock up though, so during my personal “24 cards in 24 hours” challenge animals did feature on many of the cards. Number 6 of the 24 was this one with a custom-coloured embossed penguin. EMBOSSED ... VIEW POST
Storybook Ending
Well it’s November 17th and today is the day we may see our first snow of the 2022/2023 winter season. The temperature has certainly come down a lot from the unseasonably warm weather we’ve been treated to this autumn. So today I thought it would be apt to bring you a snowy Christmas card idea. This was number 12 of the 24 cards I designed and made in a 24 hour period last weekend. My starting off point was the Storybook Gnomes paper which will be retiring all too soon. STORYBOOK ...

After The Storm But No Deer In Sight
Well following yesterday's confusion over the blog hop which isn't actually until next week, thankfully my day improved. If you can overlook the fact that my blog was 5 hours late being published, it was quite productive really. Today I need to double-check all the entries in my diary for December just to make sure I haven't made any other silly errors. Once that's done I want to plan out how I'm going to make it to the end of my to do list before running out of month. For today's project I ... VIEW POST
