Did the title make you sit up? I’m sorry, they’re not real owls, although they are amongst my favourite creatures. This is another example of using the clearly Christmas themed stamp set into something that’s more generic. Inside the card, you can add whatever sentiment you wish. I’ve left it blank, so it may even […]

Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine is now available to the world! I’ve road tested it myself and it really cuts well and also embosses like a dream!

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

Nothing’s Better Than Chocolate

Nothing’s Better Than 40!
My baby turns 40 this year – my, oh my – doesn’t it make me feel positively ANCIENT! This stamp set wasn’t on my radar at all. However, given that my daughter loves a cocktail or two, and not to mention chocolate, I thought….why not? With lockdown, we haven’t seen any family since Christmas. Lockdown […]
Arrange a Wreath tin
