It’s crazy isn’t it? After the year we’ve had most of it spent incarcerated at home, how does it seem possible that when the whole year seemed to drag, here we are with Christmas just a couple of days away and the end of the year is nigh! I’ll be sad to see this year’s […]
Cards with Pines throughout the year
Which camp are you in? Do you feel images for pine trees are just for Christmas? Can you use the pine trees for other occasions? I say “yes” to both. Pine trees are evergreen, so no matter what time of year, they can be used on a card and not just at Christmas. We’ll start […]
Stocking filler Snow Wonder
Do you still make up stockings for your children no matter what age they are? As they grow into adults and have families of their own, those “little” fillers become a lot more sophisticated! I found these miniature bottles of rum which were perfect for cocktail mixes, and of course, ideal as a stocking filler […]
Gift packaging Sweetest Time
The taste of American chocolate is definitely different from European chocolate. I can’t really put my finger on it. Suffice to say, when Christmas approaches, I do like to have some Hershey Kisses.

Practicalities prevented our family from taking advantage of it so sadly, we’ll be on our own this Christmas. I hope you’ll […]

Not much notice was given but Stampin’ Up! has been working hard to find a replacement. Enter the new Basic White […]
Hints & Tips – Tag Buffet
This has to be the coolest semi-inclusive kit I’ve ever come across. It hadn’t been on my radar at all, until my leader demonstrated it at one of her Team Training events. The kit contains enough supplies to make 30 tags and I love the tag layers, the bright traditional Christmas coloured pop out elements […]
Shaker gift card with Snowflake Wishes
As Christmas approaches ever closer, my thoughts turned to gift cards and gift wallets. Add a personal touch. Enter the Snowflake Wishes bundle. The set of coordinating dies were perfect for this project. It cuts out this beautiful window. I used one of the medium clear envelopes to create a flat shaker pouch filled with […]
