My Many Merry Stars Simply Created Kit arrived on Monday and it took all my will power not to rip open the kit and get started! My resolve went out the window by Tuesday – I made the really big one – which I’m going to hang on my front door in lieu of […]

Countdown to Christmas # Week 4 – Nordic theme
This week’s video is with the Cheerful Christmas stamp set, and highlights the Nordic motif. White embossing against a solid bright background really makes the image pop. Hope you like it. I’m finding it hard to choose – I like them both. Do you have a preference? I have consolidated my supplies list at the […]

Four Feathers Bundled with Tag Talk & Tape It
This month’s card club project was a technique using re-inkers and craft ink on an acrylic block to create this marbled effect and it was such fun seeing how different each feather absorbed the colours and pattern.
