You know that debate about the chicken and the egg – which comes first? I had the same dilemma with the Lovely You stamp set and the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch! It’s just as well Stampin’ Up! bundled them together and you get at 10% saving at the same time. I loved the mixed […]

Flowers for Every Season Suite
Since the launch of the new catalogue went live, have you had time to establish which is your favourite suite? I showcased the Jar of Flowers in a sneak peek about a month ago, and today I’m showcasing the other half in the Suite – the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle. Yesterday on my Stamp with Elaine […]
Happy Father’s Day
Both my Dad and hubby’s Dad left our mortal coil many moons ago. My heart goes out to those who suffered more recent bereavements, especially to my son-in-law whose loss is still too painful to contemplate.

Forever Fern with Forever Gold Laser-Cuts
I am so glad I invested in this bundle. There is an abundance of foliage to choose from whether as a stamp, or as a die cut, there are endless possibilities for creating cards, or adorning a Memory & More album, decorating a box and better still, it isn’t gender specific! Today I am combining […]
Flash back retirement card : Witty-cisms
I have kept this under wraps and couldn’t post it earlier until the recipient had received it and now it’s retired, but I still wanted to share as I think it’s so cute! I dug out my embossing paste and stencils to make this background in petal pink – love the texture! Just for a […]
