The past few mornings have been quite foggy and damp and autumn is definitely here. So I think it's finally time to start putting away the summer tops and start bringing out the warmer clothes. It must have been at the back of my mind when I was doing my card making marathon last weekend too. Why else would I have used the Suit & Tie Dies to create this masculine sweater birthday card?

Deer In The Garden Make Me Happy
Now that the days are getting shorter it definitely feels like the garden is starting to wind down. We've been leaving some of our windfall apples on the ground and they regularly attract the deer. At this time of year I love seeing the velvet covered antlers as the small group visits the tree closest to the house. There's something very calming about seeing the wildlife in the garden just being themselves. It certainly sets me up for a happy start to the day. So when I was working on my ... VIEW POST
Penguin Place Plus 23 Other Cards Completed
If you saw my blog posts over the past couple of days, or follow me on Facebook, you'll know I've been working on a personal challenge. Yesterday was World Card Making Day and as in previous years I decided to attempt another 24 hour challenge.

I started at 6pm on Friday, managed about 5 hours sleep ... VIEW POST
Absolutely Argyle For Masculine Cards
I've been sorting through a box of completed projects and came across some that I haven't shown you yet. Several of them were from my personal World Card Making Day challenge last October.

Christmas Layers All Year Long
It's December 22nd and I hate to say it, but if your Christmas projects aren't complete it might just be a little too late. Unless of course you've planned some time and use your crafting to de-stress once all the other preparations are done. Personally I'm looking forward to spending some quality time in my studio over the Christmas break. With everything else going on I've had to be in and out in super quick time. In fact after working a full day yesterday I didn't get in there at all, and ... VIEW POST
Thanks For Lots Of Reasons
Thanks or thank you cards are so useful. Whether it's in response to a single event, or a combination of things, sending a card through the mail can really show your appreciation. I like to keep a variety of thank you cards on hand and some are more elaborate than others. So when I'm thinking about cards to make for my stash, "thanks" always appears on my list. Today's simple Sunday card is one I made for my World Cardmaking Day Challenge back at the beginning of October. With a bold ... VIEW POST
