Welcome to my Corner of the World
We are well into spring now so I have chosen to use Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz for my card colors today. The Around the Bend Stamp Set and coordinating Die set have flowers and leaves that look like daisies, which remind me of late spring when the grass is starting to grow along with the little daisies showing the dainty faces to the sun.
Continue readingLast year I shared a video on how to use the Cracker and Treat Box Die, and created one for different holidays. It was such a lot of fun that I decided to make one for Easter featuring the Easter Bunny Stamp Set and Easter Bunny Punch to show that a cracker is not just for Christmas!

Welcome to the Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop, we are group of international Stampin UP! demonstrators sharing our ideas and creativity with you.
You will have either arrived from Sherrie’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME. This month our theme is “the Joy of Spring’
I have chosen to make another 8 x 6 layout today ~ I have been building up a ‘small’ scrapbook in the last year or so, just to be a little different but also to use the Memories and More Basic Black 6 x 8 Album – which is super cute
Continue readingOne of my grand-daughter’s is into dance and has been very successful in competitions. Just before Christmas we learned that she has been selected to compete on behalf of the UK in the World Dance Championships in Portugal this coming summer. As you can imagine we are beyond proud of her accomplishment and could not let it go without a card to tell her so!
She has just turned 10 so the Sweet Songbird Stamp Set with coordinating Songbird punch is just perfect for the job.
Continue readingToday I am sharing the 4th and final of 4 seasonal samplers that I have created for my lovely ladies who come to my classes – Spring is the theme for this one with lots of bright spring colors and elements. As always with samplers there is quite a few materials and tools used but the result is so worth it 🙂
Continue readingToday I am featuring the Flowering Fields decorative paper as the centerpiece for this easy fun fold birthday card. I simply chose some of the colors from the paper for my card layers then added a simple greeting to finish off.
Continue readingToday’s card is another in my Sweet and Simple series where I have set myself a little challenge using a small amount of equipment and supplies – kind of like one of those cookery shows where you are given 3 or 4 ingredients and you have to turn it into a spectacular 4 course meal!
I think it meets my aim of using one stamp set, a couple of ink pads, an embellishment and a tool.
A couple of weeks ago I designed a Spring themed scrapbook page for a blog hop, I had cut lots of pieces using the Pierced Blooms Dies from the Subtles family of Stampin’ UP! colors. Well when I finished the scrapbook page I had a bunch of pieces left over – never one to waste anything, I used them to make today’s card. Also it gives me the chance to show you how scrapbooking ideas and techniques can be used in your card making.
Although I made it into a thank you card, I think it would make a very pretty birthday card if you change out the greeting.

You will have either arrived from Heike’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME. This month are theme is ‘Spring’
Once again I have chosen to use a 12 x 12 page – mainly because Stampin’ UP! has 12 x 12 card stock in all its colors which gives me a fantastic choice
Continue readingI always remember my grandmother having hydrangea bushes in her front garden with huge flower heads, I loved them then and love them still. When I came to live in North Texas I planted some in my front garden, although they grew they never really thrived and I never got the big flower heads I remember as a child.
The Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper gives me all the beautiful hydrangea’s I want and I have used it on today’s card. DSP is one of the first things I look at when a new catalog comes out – and I have to admit that over the years I have been a bit of a hoarder. A few years ago I made a promise to myself that I would use more!
