Goodness,  Wednesday races toward us each week at such an alarming rate!   Once you reach a certain age, you almost wish you could halt Old Father Time and stay “young” forever. You will recall last week I had some lollipop sticks on my desk – this is what I used them for.  This is just a prototype, […]

Owl Punch, Basic Phrases

Here is another alternative to using the Owl punch.  This is one of the cards we made in my Owl Punch Art Class.  I punched four owl bodies in Basic Black, two used for the penguins, and the extras to cut two pair of “wings” so they could hold hands as it’s an anniversary card! 🙂 The Perfect […]

Sunday Share

Well, this isn’t to do with anything crafty, but I thought I’d share.  My sister-in-law and her husband came to visit yesterday and treated us to lunch.  As if that wasn’t enough, she also brought me a beautiful bunch of flowers – these gerberas look amazing, so I thought I’d capture it for posterity!

This is one of the cards I designed for my Owl Punch Art Class at the end of April.  I used the faux wood technique for the ship’s hull, cut the sails free hand, took random bites out of the Marina Mist pieces of card stock with a 3/4″ circle punch to create the waves,  […]

WOYWW #101

It’s taken me ages to tidy up to get to this point, (A)I’ve almost lost the will to live and (B) it still looks messy! UGH, it’s such a soul-less task! On the brighter side, on my desk you can see a Level 2 Hostess set which I need to mount, a pack of Cherry […]

Wedding Wheels #2

I’ve been looking at ways to use the Itty Bitty Punches pack and am on a roll with the partial dry embossing, so made another this time using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder straight on to the card base in Baja Breeze. I sponged the raised dots in Baja Breeze to accent the dots, […]
