Zany Zebras and Camouflage
Happy Bank Holiday weekend! Where’s the time going? I can’t believe I’m penning this for yet another Sunday! My week is just flying by too fast! Is it for you? I thought I’d give the background stamps a little bit of love. Did you spot this Camouflage stamp in the Annual Catalogue on page 138? […]
Life is Beautiful – Seasons
Trees…..or “A” tree is an image you can build on, whether it’s for Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. Is it a tree of life in all its guises for the four seasons?

Everything Essential punch card
Do you sometimes suffer a creative block? Fear not, as the Catalogue is the greatest source of inspiration! My card is a variation on a theme. The sample Stampin’ Up! created for the Everything Essential Bundle on page 61 was the floral image in the bottom right corner. They have stamped some of the tags […]
