New!!! Second Release Sale-a-bration items!

Yay!  Only a very short lead in time to bring you some new items which have been added to the  Sale-a-bration brochure!  You’ll love it – The Country Floral Dynamic TIEF is a Level 1 item and it was too pretty to cover up in the card so I’ve let it “sing” and only embellished […]

Meant to Be Valentine

I resisted the temptation to get this bundle but in the end I succumbed – I just love all that faux stitching in the dies, and it  made more sense to have both the stamp set as well as the dies because they were designed to coordinate. Thank goodness I didn’t let my head rule […]

Geared Up Garage Bundle Valentine

I really struggle at Christmas Time to use non-traditional colours – but have no problem pushing the boat out and experimenting at a different time of the year. My thoughts have been veering to Valentine cards of late, before you know it, the 14th will have come and gone so I thought I better get […]

Amazing Life Challenge

As promised here is the video tutorial I mentioned previously, so the layout looks familiar!  I had challenged myself to make a Valentine card with this set using the sentiment “So Happy to Have You in my Life”.   This set didn’t have anything remotely “Valentine”-ish, so I cheated a little and added another stamp set […]

All That You Are – Gingham Gala

This set almost passed me by, but set against those FREE Gingham Gala Sale-a-bration papers (subject to a qualifying purchase excluding shipping/handling), they make such a refreshing backdrop for the floral image. Often times when the seasonal catalogues arrive, we forget that there are still little gems in the Annual Catalogue we can tap into.  […]

Amazing Life – Notecard Swaps

At the time of filming and scheduling this blogpost, these team swaps very nearly didn’t happen.  My conscience got the better of me as I felt I could not  attend the meeting empty handed.  On the  penultimate eve of the meeting, I knew sleep would escape me unless I physically got the job done.  Consequently […]

Sale-a-bration Tea Time Framelits!

I often wonder where the quintessentially tradition of taking “Tea” originated.  My go to tipple during the day is usually tea, although I like coffee in equal measure, but usually have that as an after dinner drink, and if it’s in the evening, probably the de-caffeinated variety. According to history, afternoon tea was introduced in […]

Flowering Desert – Rectangle Stitched Framelits

I’m on a mission to use more of  the Very Vanilla Thick card stock this new year.  Oftentimes I reach for the Whisper White, and the Very Vanilla Thick gets forgotten! This Flowering Desert stamp set can be so easily overlooked – but whether you like succulents or not, this stamp set has its merits!  […]
