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 […]

Blossoms in Bloom and new In Colors
Have you had a chance to familiarise yourself with the new In Color names? It never ceases to amaze me how they think these up! During the pre-order period, the new In Color inks were not available so I did a work around. The “shading” effect was cut from Very Vanilla card stock. To work […]
Three more sleeps to new Catalogue Launch Day!

Witty-cisms – Looking Sharp
What do you do with a Saguaro cactus? They’re prickly and not exactly pretty looking plants. They grow in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona where we saw them up close and personal and only then did I appreciate that these tree like cacti can grow up to 40 ft in height, or more and are […]
