My fellow Stampin’ Creative teamie Caro and I ran a Retreat Day last Sunday and the contents of our goody bag was all based around the Joyous Noel suite. 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 »
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 »
This week’s challenge at the Global Design Project is a colour challenge. Fresh Fig, Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron. I’m typing this up on my phone as my computer has died so not sure how to copy across the GDP graphic, hence the list of challenge colours.

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 »

The DSP and ribbons have recently retired but the two stamp sets; Artisan Textures and Tabs for Everything are current. Artisan… Read More »

I admired a recent post by my lovely friend Ruth Trice (link to follow). I thought it would be perfect project for an upcoming Mum and Me kids class. By chance, my friend called me a few weeks later and asked me would I do a crafting activity at her daughter’s 10th birthday party. Well, I had the absolute PERFECT project! Her daughter had final approval, but how could you… Read More »

I recently celebrated my 5 Years as a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Happy Anniversary to me! Like many other demonstrators, I joined for the demonstrator discount. However I didn’t plan to just buy products at a discount, I loved so much of the first catalogue I saw I knew that wasn’t enough. I also wanted to earn products for free too and therefore pretty quickly started a business. I have… Read More »
Welcome to the Let’s Get Hopping May Blog Hop. This month, we set ourselves the challenge of making a set of cards that could be given as a gift. I made something yesterday but I really wasn’t satisfied with my project. Being really pushed for time, I had literally a 15 minute window to change my project or I had to go with the original one. I am eternally grateful… Read More »
