This is a simply stamped card – returning to my roots and going back to basics with limited supplies. Are you a paper hoarder? I used to be, but once you get over that barrier, you won’t have any qualms about cutting it up, because paper is a consumable item, and if you use up […]

All Geared Up
At time of writing, we were seeing our son on the weekend to take him out for a celebratory birthday lunch. I still can’t quite believe we have a son who is now in his early 40s!!! I wanted a quick and simple card which would reflect his love of cars, and in Stampin’ Up!’s […]
New!!! Second Release Sale-a-bration items!
Yay! Only a very short lead in time to bring you some new items which have been added to the Sale-a-bration brochure! You’ll love it – The Country Floral Dynamic TIEF is a Level 1 item and it was too pretty to cover up in the card so I’ve let it “sing” and only embellished […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!

I had challenged myself to make a Valentine card with this set using the sentiment “So Happy to Have You in my Life”. This set didn’t have anything remotely “Valentine”-ish, so I cheated a little and added another stamp set […]
Meant to Be
Hello and a Happy Sunday to you! I resisted and resisted the temptation to get this set but in the end, the pull of the faux stitching on the dies that coordinate with this set was too great and I caved! The detailed filigree heart is from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits, so this is […]
All That You Are – Gingham Gala
This set almost passed me by, but set against those FREE Gingham Gala Sale-a-bration papers (subject to a qualifying purchase excluding shipping/handling), they make such a refreshing backdrop for the floral image. Often times when the seasonal catalogues arrive, we forget that there are still little gems in the Annual Catalogue we can tap into. […]
