This month we had three colours to play with – Gorgeous Grape, Calypso Coral and Lemon Lime Twist. The day before the blog hop goes live I hope to use Translucent Florals in my Facebook Live, so I have been playing around with the stamp set and dies. This is a returning bundle and I […]
This month we have been challenged to create a card using a sketch. While at our retreat a few weeks ago, I designed this card using the ‘Thoughtful Journey’ DSP. I chose one of the beautiful designs and placed on Wild Wheat card stock (probably my least favourite in colour from last year- but it […]
This month we have a colour challenge using the colours Boho Blue, Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow. I have been using Nature’s Sweetness Suite to make projects for our upcoming Retreat with my Upline, Sharon Wilson. I have made a 3D project and a card for this but have created some other cards to show […]
Today I sat down and decided to make an Easter card with a difference. I used the bunny from ‘Playing in the Rain’ and cut it out. I then placed it on a blended background of Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green. The sentiment ‘Oh Happy Day!’ is also from this set. Inside I added […]
Our mini catalogue is only around for about another three months!! One of my favourite suites in this catalogue has been the Perennial Lavender Suite. I ordered it first, but know that I have not used it enough!! This month we have card layout and I decided to use the suite for this challenge. I […]

I have chosen to use the middle line – embossing folder, Dies or punches and rhinestones or embellishments. I chose Painted Lavender as the focus of the card and used the colours Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, […]
A layout challenge was our project this month. I had bought the DSP ‘One Horse Open Sleigh’ from the Online Exclusive, but had not used it. When I saw our challenge for this month I immediately thought of this paper and with Christmas coming up, it was a great one to choose! It shows that […]
Christmas is a special time of year and, when I see the title of this blog, I am reminded of Christmases past when we would sing this carol around the piano at home. When Stampin’ Ups brought out this suite in their mini catalogue, I was immediately drawn to it. I loved the whole suite […]
This month we had a colour challenge using the colours Blackberry Bliss, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive. They are very reminiscent of Autumn , but my card has a touch of late Summer about it!! I used the Dainty Delight stamp set. I do love this set and the versatility of it and have used […]
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 […]
