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 […]
This month for our Blog Hop, the theme is ‘Anything Goes’. I love some of the new colours in the new catalogue and anyone who knows me will know that my favourite colour is Blue and any shades of Blue into Teal. I decided to use Cheerful Daisies for this blog Hop. The base is […]
This month our challenge was to use a layout to create a card. I decided to make a sympathy card as a friend lost his mother this week. I used the ‘By the Bay’ suite again for this card. You might notice that I love this suite. I’m sad that it will soon be retired. […]
I have been so busy with my ‘By the Bay’ suite that I have neglected using some of my other stamp sets!! I got out my Fancy Flora Suite yesterday, and I am now enjoying creating with this so much. I love the DSP and the stamp set. There are no sentiments with this stamp […]
