My first real day off in almost 6 weeks! Am going to take a week off now to be with my girl and her family for the week. I get to spend precious time with this branch of the family and renewing family ties with our young grandsons. We see them so rarely and it […]

Summer Mini Event
I held a Summer Mini event earlier this month but wasn’t able to post till after the workshops and presentations had finished in May so as not to ruin the surprise. This was my table display with samples made from the various stamp sets at my Open House on May 12. It was lovely to […]
Cupcake and Tea
I’m amazed this photo came out as well as it did without using my light box – too lazy to get it out as it was already 2.30 in morning – a rush job to get this made and give it to my hubby to post in the morning on his way to work. This is what I love about […]

The colours I used were Calypso Coral, […]
Apothecary Art
For my Sunday Share today, here’s one of the cards I made with the Apothecary Art stamp set. I’ve made quite a few of these interlocking card fronts before. Stampin’ Up!’s new range of Framelits dies make the actual construction of these interlocking frames so much easier and less time consuming! This interlocks with the […]
