Hello there! At the time of writing, summer is in full swing, but who knows what it will be like when this is scheduled to publish today? All I know is that when it’s holiday/vacation time, we want time to tarry a while, not fly past like there’s no tomorrow! Speaking of flight – this […]

For the Love of Felt Kit
Do you need a holiday/vacation project? If you’re already a crafter “For the Love of Felt” is just the perfect kit to take with you. There is a pretty box to keep them in too, after you’ve finished! Twelve cards – four each of three designs with instructions on how to make them. Of course […]
Pressed Petals Journal – Path of Petals
Wow! The Pressed Petals suite gives and gives! Not only stamps and dies and a bumper pack of Specialty designer papers, but the cutest little journal which has removable pages which can be used on a memory keeping page or even as a card front! Of course you don’t have to remove the pages, you […]
Are you a Grandma, Nana, Nan, Gran, or Gan Gan?
Happy Sunday! When school breaks up, usually that’s the time when grandchildren come to visit, but there are no Grandmas in our house, I am called by another name!

Whilst patiently waiting for Stampin’ Up! to resolve the issues they’re having with the Purple Posy Ink, I was delighted that at least the Stampin’ Blends were available in the new 2019-2021 new In Colours. Something is better than nothing, […]
Marrying Very Versailles with Fanciful Fragrance
Happy Sunday! I do love a bit of Vintage – does anyone else? Not necessarily as home decor, but I don’t mind the grungy look on a card. When Soft Sky retired, I was really sad, because I love pastel shades and that one has been a very popular “go to” colour in my book. […]
Tasteful Textures and Watercolour Pencils
Oftentimes we reach for our ink pads to add colour to our projects, but what about the other colouring mediums? How about the humble colouring pencil? They tend to get overlooked, so I thought I’d turn my attention to showing how they can be used. Shimmery White card stock is more forgiving whereas ordinary Whisper […]
