Our Blog Hop #52 is a colour challenge using Pale Papaya, Parakeet Party and Pool Party. I have had a swatch of all three cardstock colours sitting on my table for a few days and kept looking at them – trying to get inspiration!! Today – a little before the blog is due, I had […]
I have had lots of fun playing with the By the Bay suite! For a week or so, I had this idea in my head to make a 3D card and when I woke up last Friday, I went straight to my craft table and put the ideas into action! I wanted to create a […]
This month we have had a new challenge that I don’t think we have done before! It is called ‘Tic Tac Toe’. Like the game you need to get three in a row – horizontally, vertically or diagonally. I have used Heat Embossing, Designer Series Paper and Dies for my challenge. Two of my grandchildren […]
When I saw ‘By The Bay’ suite at Onstage, I was immediately drawn to it. I love blues and I could see so many possibilities. I love watching the waves and sitting by the beach reflecting on the magnificence of the scene in front of me (in all weathers!), so I really wanted to make […]
I have fallen head over heels in love – with By the Bay Suite. I am not sure there is anything in this suite that I don’t like – except that maybe 12 x 12 DSP would have been great!!! Our team has had a swap challenge this past couple of weeks. We could use […]

Our challenge this month was a layout challenge. While I was at camp last weekend, I created this card. The base is Balmy Blue and I added two layers of Snowflake Speciality Vellum with a strip of Silver foil in between. The sentiment is from Hope and Peace and was stamped in Versamark and heat […]
This month our challenge was to use the three colours – Sweet Sorbet, Blushing Bride and Old Olive. On Mother’s Day, my daughter made me a beautiful card using Tulips. Sometimes it is easy to pass over stamps that had been in a previous catalogue and forget how beautiful they are. I took the idea […]
Welcome to our Blog Hop for September. This month we had a layout challenge. I have fallen in love with the Texture Chic Suite. It is really versatile, as you can use it for any season of the year. Since we are coming into the warmer days (hopefully!), I thought I’d make a ‘beachy’ card. […]
This month our challenge was to use the colours – Tahitian Tide, Crushed Curry and Real Red. All three colours are quite strong so it was a challenge to make a card that I was pleased with. I made several and ended up with the first one I made and the final one I made!! […]
