Yesterday was our 16th Wedding Anniversary – it seems incredible ~ those years have flown by so fast. I made a card for my husband and tried very hard to give it a bit of a masculine twist, I think I captured it in the colors but perhaps the bow was a little too ‘girly’ – but he took it very well.

Grown with Love ~ Stampin’ Up!
Flowers are my weakness, I am always drawn to those stamp sets with flowers, but as I explained in a post the other day – I ration myself otherwise I would have nothing but flowers in my stash. So when I ordered a set the other week I deliberately chose a set that had flowers but other things as well – Grown with Love has a little cart, flower-pot and watering can as well as flowers and best yet it has coordinating dies which make it a snap to cut everything out with my Big Shot.

Taking care of Ink Pads ~ video
I don’t know about you but my ink pads see a lot of service, whether in classes, stamp camps or me designing projects or making cards for sale – they get a lot of use. So like everything we treasure, they need a little TLC from time to time. Continue reading

Lovely Laurel Vellum ~ Stampin’ Up!
I do love flowers – I grow them in my garden, in the past I have made them out of flowerpaste (gumpaste) and made them from paper.
I have to be very cautious about choosing stamp sets out of the catalog ~ my eyes are always drawn to the flower sets to the exclusion of others, great for me but not everyone has the same passion as me! The other day I found out just how cautious I had been, when I wanted to create a card with some flowers on it – I could not find a stamp set on my shelf with a flower in it!!! Continue reading
Paper Pumpkin – Stampin’ Up!
I have subscribed to Paper Pumpkin since it first started just over 3 years ago. It is a monthly subscription and the whole point of it is that each month we get a SURPRISE! We don’t know ahead of time what will be in the box, we have had cards, calendars, banners, frame art, treat holders – practically anything you can do with paper and ink has been made into a kit. Yep – a kit, everything you need is contained within that orange box that lands in my mailbox around the 18th or 19th of each month. Continue reading
Colorful Seasons and Tranquil Tide
The 5th and final of the new 2017 – 2019 In-colors is Tranquil Tide, the name itself sounds calming and relaxing. It is a very deep ‘blue’ based green which I think will make a very interesting Christmas green – one I shall try out a little nearer the time!. Once again, I have paired it with Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla but as I write this I am thinking Sahara Sand would also make a great combination. Continue reading
Decorated Sticky Notes ~ video
Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper was launched in the 2017 – 2018 Stampin’ Up! annual catalog, it has all of the new In-colors,8 sheets of each of the 5 colors – that is 40 sheets of 12 x 12 paper to play with!
At the beginning of June I held my new catalog launch where I invite all my customers to come ooohhh and aaahhh over the new products, do some make and takes (using new products) and get their own copy of the new catalog. As a thank you to them for shopping with me throughout the year and for coming to the launch I gave each of them a decorated pad of sticky notes (plus a pen) so they could mark all their favorites ready to add to their wish lists!

Colorful Seasons with Fresh Fig
The 4th of the new 2017 – 2019 In-colors is Fresh Fig, a rich and mellow jewel tone color. While it works very well with neutrals I was surprised to find that it was the perfect foil for brighter colors such as Crushed Curry… who would have thought it! Continue reading
