Thursday June 1st the new Stampin’ Up! catalog goes live and with it our new In-colors. Stampin’ Up has a palette of 40 colors and neutrals but every year we get 5 new colors which are with us for 2 years and then they are gone. I am sad when one set retires but excited that we will have something new to play with. As a demonstrator I get my hands on the new colors before they are launched and because I was able to go to the Demonstator event known as ‘On-Stage’ at the beginning of April I have had some of the new goodies in my hands for nearly 2 months ~ which has given me a chance to have a really good play with them and I shall be sharing more over the coming weeks.
But today a card giving a sneak peak of one of the new in-colors ~ Powder Pink Continue reading
We are about 5 days away from say a fond farewell to the 2016 ~ 2017 catalog. One of the set that is retiring is Love and Affection (which is still available as I write this 🙂 )
This is such a pretty set that I have used on a number of projects, with its little flower and leaf elements, you can build up a design and 3 lovely greetings in a lovely cursive font. I have one more card to share which features heat embossing with the copper embossing powder. Continue reading

I was tidying my work bench (it happens from time to time) and while putting something away came across a handmade card I had been sent a couple of years ago. It was so bright and refreshing that I decide to recreate it with some stamps and embellishments that are about to retire. Continue reading
Yesterday was the birthday of our youngest grand-daughter, I wanted something that was a little bit of fun and entertaining for a 2 year old and decided on a penny spinner card. These are really easy to do with Sliding Star Framelits and Big Shot.

Oh! this was a day I promised myself during tax season ~ to simply play with some card and ribbon and have a good ol’ footle. (an expression my dear Aunt used to do something without a particular purpose but simply to DO!)
During a visit to Lansing MI back in February I saw a fellow papercrafter had decorated a candle and I was so taken with it I wanted to have a go myself.

My niece in the UK, is about to move house again! Her husband is in the British military and this will be their 5th move in the nearly 7 years they have been married.
Moving is an exhausting business ~ to pack up then unpack, not only physically but emotionally. When we moved about 3 years ago I did the ‘grieving’ part of the move while I was removing all our personal items before putting the house on the market, by that time it was not longer our home but a house, when it came time to leave I was ready. Knowing all of this I wanted to send her a card to let her know I was thinking of her.

Stampin’ Up! offer 8 different adhesives – which one should you use? After all glue is glue is it not?
