It’s surprising that even being in lock down for most of the year, we’ve managed to creep into December. In the UK we have had restrictions lifted over a five day period for Christmas. Practicalities prevented our family from taking advantage of it so sadly, we’ll be on our own this Christmas. I hope you’ll […]

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.

Advent Calendar – Coming Home
I always make an Advent Calendar for my Countdown to Christmas Series each year. This year, I made it with the Home Together Dies. These dies can be purchased together with the Coming Home stamp set as a bundle at a 10% discount. I also used the Playful Alphabet dies with which to die cut […]
