My Sad Rule

I have a bit of a rule with my stamping and card making. It is kind of a sad rule, but it is an important one.

No Heavy Lifting Here

I’m back using my Painted Poppies stamp set again, I just love it!! I wanted to use this set, but I wasn’t really in a colouring mood, so I let some Designer Series Paper do the heavy lifting for me this time.

With Love From Paper Pumpkin

I love my Paper Pumpkin! Each month, a complete kit arrives at my door to take me on a new crafting adventure. The projects in the kits are awesome, but even if they aren’t to your taste, there are lots of great crafting supplies to use in any way you like.

Golf Anyone?

It may be the middle of winter, and it sounds like we are in for some bad snow storms this weekend, but I know some people are headed off to warmer climates, and a few rounds of golf. Perhaps you have a golf vacation planned, and here is a card to get you “in the swing” (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!!)

Forever Blossoms at GGAW

This past weekend was our Girls Get Away Weekend. What a fantastic time spent with wonderful women. We crafted, chatted, ate great food, laughed, supported and encouraged each other and had an amazing time together.
We made a side step card using the Forever Blossoms stamp set, and I had some alternate projects using the same supplies. Here is one of the alternate cards.

Here Comes Sale-A-Bration

It’s a new year and a new decade! Welcome to 2020, it is going to be a great year. We kick it all off with a new mini catalogue that goes live on January 3, and Sale-a-Bration (SAB) starts then too. The new catalogue is filled with lots of great stamp sets, dies, papers, embellishments, kits and everything you need for beautiful paper crafting. The best part about this time of year though, is Sale-a-Bration. For every $60 you spend on anything at all from the new mini, or the annual catalogue, you can select a FREE item from the SAB brochure. It has everything from cute to beautiful, and lots in between! I thought we would start with cute.
