We created 10 different projects between us for our goody bag so after working with this bundle for a little while, it soon became my… Read More »
We have a fabulous theme this month, where we are creating non-traditional Christmas cards – this could either be in stamp choice or colour choice. I went for colour and have, in the words of Elsa, Let it Go by choosing some frosty colours and the fabulous new Wishing You Well stamp set. Joining our hop today we have my gorgeous SU co-presenter from a few years ago – my… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Enjoy the Little Things Video Blog Hop where our theme is Interactive/Pop-up projects. I decided to use Santa’s Workshop to create a fun ‘Wiper’ card. I must admit this is the first time I’ve ever made a wiper card, but it certainly won’t be the last. I’m already delving through my stash to see what sets would be fun to use in this style. As… Read More »
It’s the last Saturday of the month, so it must be the Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop. As we’re all busy ladies during the summer – and three of the team are off seeing the sights in. Alaska – we thought we would make it easy on ourselves with an ‘Anything Goes’ theme. With no restrictions I really can’t wait to see what we have all come up with this month.… Read More »
Welcome to this month’s Enjoy the Little Things Video Blog Hop where our theme is all things Masculine. As my husband’s birthday was coming up, it was the perfect opportunity to get ahead of the game and make a Masculine Birthday card. It’s a fairly simple card as overly fussy is not his thing, but I wanted to show you how versatile the Broadway Bound suite is. You may… Read More »

Our theme this month is Party Time – and what better suite than Broadway Bound?! It screams PARTY from the rooftops – the party can be any sort of a celebration though some of the sentiments are more suited towards Birthdays. I’ve chosen to make mine a Birthday card as I chose the candle DSP. And here it is… I do love Monochrome cards, so this Black, White and Gold… Read More »
I was scheduled to have my monthly Mum and Me class on Monday and ironically I had designed a Get Well card using Healing Hugs. I have had a rollercoaster few days where my Mum was taken seriously ill and rushed to hospital. As it stands today, things have slightly improved but we can only take one day at a time. If you pray, I would please ask you to… Read More »
Let’s face it, no-one wants to have to make a sympathy card because it symbolises the passing of a life. However, it is a card that will undoubtedly convey our sympathies and feelings when words are sometimes just not enough at this difficult time. There are 32 different sentiments in Itty Bitty Greetings and ‘Love and Sympathy’ was perfect for this occasion. I have also stamped ‘Sending Prayers’ from the… Read More »
