Welcome to this week’s blog!!! It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! In fact my eldest granddaughter was telling me on the weekend that she has made her Christmas playlist and is already listening to it!!! In our family, we love Christmas and the traditions around it and most of celebrating the birth […]
This stamp set is being offered online only and it would be easy to overlook it, if you are not an online shopper! However, you shouldn’t! It is a beautiful bundle ( and I love the WHOLE bundle!!!) It is called the ‘Seasons of Green and Gold’ suite. Today I will share three cards with […]
It is sometimes strange how you can overlook a stamp set in the catalogue and suddenly you are inspired to make something with it and you don’t have it!! This happened to me and my friend brought hers to retreat so I could use it. I also put it on my shopping list and it […]
I am very aware that it isn’t winter here in the Southern Hemisphere, although one day last week felt a little like winter was returning!!! I do love this paper and think I can put it to good use making some Christmas cards over the next few weeks. This week I am casing two cards […]
Here in Australia, we are into Spring, while in the Northern Hemisphere, they are in Autumn! However, I thought I’d use this suite today. I have had it for a few weeks and finally at a craft retreat last weekend I had time to play around with it. The DSP is quite strong in colour, […]
This has been another ‘shelf sitter’ – until now!! I’m not sure how many times I have looked at it and thought about doing something with it and finally!!!! All of these cards have been CASED, but I have added my own touch to them. The first one uses the nest. As a child, living […]
I do love this suite from the Annual Catalogue – probably my favourite from it!! I love the DSP AND the stamp set and dies. I wanted to try something different with scraps of DSP, so I came up with these three cards. My first one uses the DSP and silhouette made by one of […]
This week I used a set that has been sitting on my shelf for a few months called ‘Thoughtful Expressions’. There are beautiful and elegant dies that go with this set. It is a returning stamp from last year’s catalogue. I have been fascinated by hummingbirds and found lots of interesting facts about them, but […]
This week I decided to create with the ‘Lovely and Sweet’ stamp bundle. This is a returning stamp set and is in the Annual catalogue. When it first came out in the previous catalogue, the DSP was in golds, browns and white and was really beautiful. I still have a little bit left! It was […]
After using ‘Bee my Valentine’ at a craft retreat earlier in the year, I decided to buy it, but haven’t used it a lot since. What I love about doing this weekly Facebook Live is that it has made me come out of my comfort zone and try out things I might not normally try […]
