Teeny One Sheet Wonder

Teeny One Sheet Wonder – Flowers for Every Season

I did it !!! Four unique cards made from one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP ! Yesterday I published a cutting guide on a one sheet wonder over on my Facebook page. It was certainly a challenge because I didn’t like the reverse side of the paper! I solved the problem by introducing mat […]

Centre step card Stampin Up Outdoor Barbecue

Outdoor Barbecue – Centre Step Fold card

With the warmer weather approaching, our thoughts turn to barbecues! The supermarkets are filled with marinaded barbecue meat and fresh salads and it means I get a day off from cooking! I don’t know if it’s true of your household, but it seems to be a “man” thing to get the barbecue going so I […]

Clean and Simple Card Stampin Up Witty-cisms by Elaine Harding

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 […]

Jumping Jack boxes in a Matchbox!

Remember the rage with loom rubber bands? You could make all kinds of bracelets with them and my grandsons went through a phase when they were really expert at making them. They’ve grown out of it now but I’ve still got a box leftover full of these loom bands and I’ve found an alternative use […]

Happy Mother’s Day in the UK

Happy Mothering Sunday! I nearly missed today and had to do a quick re-shuffle of all my scheduled posts.  How did that happen?   Note to self – I’ll need to consult the calendar more often!  With an empty nest, I’ve completely lost  track of high days and holidays (read school vacations) let alone the days […]

Birthday Bonanza – Interactive card

Do you like interactive cards? I have some birthdays coming up for my grandsons so I’m ahead of myself this year!  They are growing up far too quickly for my liking, and cute  images like this won’t resonate with them for much longer as their tastes change and they develop more sophisticated tastes! The mechanism […]
