A few months ago I bought ‘Seasonal Branches’. It has been sitting on the shelf and I have been looking for inspiration to use it. An ex-student of mine and her twin sister are about to start their HSC, so I thought I might pull it out and see what I could do. I used […]
I fell in love with the Winter Meadow suite as soon as I saw it in the catalogue and was not disappointed when it arrived. The colours are so beautiful. I loved what they had done with the ‘quilted style’ card on Page 36 of the catalogue, but again wanted to add my own touch […]
While I was at the retreat a few weeks ago, I took out my Zany Zoo DSP and stamp set and decided to make lots of cards with them. This is a very cute set in the Annual Catalogue. Some are cased from online (Pinterest) and modified, adding my own creative design. I teach piano […]
This month our challenge was a layout. I decided to use a combination of three stamp sets – Magical Meadow, Go to Greetings and Irresistible Blooms. Magical Meadow, although marketed as a Christmas stamp set, could be used throughout the year. In fact I have set myself a challenge to create a Christmas card and […]
About four months ago I was a my Upline’s retreat. For the camp, I had created a card for a shoebox (the colloquial name we give projects that we prepare for those at camp to create). The new catalogue had not long been released and I fell in love with ‘Cheerful Daisies’ on my first […]
About two months ago, we had ‘Creativity Now’ – an online crafting day. The stamp set we used was Translucent Florals. This is a beautiful stamp set and accompanying dies and works well on Basic White Cardstock or Vellum. I wanted to make some gifts for friends for a retreat I am going to and […]
I have been very lax in getting up blogs and posts in these past few months. This has mainly due to feeling unwell for several months and not having energy to think about being creative!! Hopefully I am over that and able to fulfil the challenge that I have set myself – posting each week! […]
This year is flying past! I cannot believe it is August already! We had a colour challenge this month – we had to use Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Pecan Pie. I have had a little bit more time on my hands since I broke my wrist a few weeks ago, but it has been […]
This month we had a layout challenge. I used Circle Sayings and the accompanying circle punch and added Bright and Beautiful DSP. On one card, I cut a strip off the right hand side front and the other one just has the DSP turned over. I used Bubble Bath and Azure Afternoon as the bases […]
This month for our Blog Hop, we were given a colour challenge using two designated colours and one of our own choice. The colours were Flirty Flamingo and Starry Sky. I also chose Daffodil Delight. I used the stamp set called ‘Coffee with Friends’. I love this set and I know many of us love […]
