We had a fabulous gathering recently for the start of Stampin’ Up’s 30th Birthday celebrations. I travelled with six members of my team, the Aces and Diamonds.

It was a really practical… Read More »
If you’ve seen my last few posts, then it’s no secret that I love the Hold on to Hope bundle – but how about a Hold on to Hope Congratulations card?

This effect is… Read More »
This month the Let’s Get Hopping Blog Hop team are showing our Love for Very Vanilla.

I’m afraid as I looked through… Read More »

Are you a ribbon hoarder like me? I started a little project earlier in the week and due to our un-seasonal snow, I have finally had a chance to complete it today. An In-Color ribbon hairband!! I do tend to stock up somewhat on ribbon and I love looking at it, but it needs to be a special project to use it. This has somewhat backfired for me as now… Read More »

I’m getting into a weekly routine with my Scrapbooking. It’s not as quick as Memories and More, so I don’t want to replace my favourite Memory-Keeping method but this Delightful Daisy scrapbook page is going to be a perfect feature in my album.

I followed a sketch – well, let’s rephrase that… when… Read More »
