double ended treat box Sweet Magnolia

Magnolia Lane – Double ended Twist Treat Box

I had to delve way back into my archives for this  double ended twist treat box which I made in October 2015 as part of my 12 week Countdown to Christmas Series in 2015!!! My upline Amanda had sent me some materials to make a minimum of 4 projects from the Magnolia Suite as a […]

Floral Essence – All About the Paper!

Oh my giddy aunt!  I love the Impressionist Period, so when I saw these hand-painted impressionistic images on the Perennial Essence DSP,  I thought I’d died and gone to heaven!!! So this is all about the paper – I “framed” one of the flowers (the photo doesn’t do it justice)  and stamped a couple more […]

Happy Father’s Day to the men in our lives both present and past. I’m posting this later than usual to give hubby a chance to see his card before it goes public!  I couldn’t decide which stamp set to use.  I liked the font from the Varied Vases set for “You are simply the best!” […]

A Good Man meets Waterfront

Hi there!  I’m capitalising on the fact that there’s only a  week to go before Father’s Day, whether it’s your Dad, or significant other to tell them how much you appreciate them and this is a great excuse to use a brand new stamp set from the new Annual Catalogue called “A Good Man”! I […]
