Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Things are looking up ‘eyewise’ so I am hoping to get back to blogging and sharing my projects with you on a more regular basis – I thank you for your patience while I worked thru a really trying time for me 🙂

I like techniques – using stamps and ink in different ways shows the flexibility of what on the surface appears to be simple things, today I have taken Blending Brushes and Stampin Spritzers to create a great background and show the magic of water – check out the video to see what I mean! 🙂

2023 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ September

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Once again I enjoyed designing and making my flip over calendar for 2023, with the help of my friend, Elly – while she was visiting from the UK in October. As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. This was designed for a stamp camp in early December 2022, we had such fun making them and my ladies have made me promise to do another for 2024

I am changing things a little for this year, I recognise not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month. .

So today I share, September Dragon Flies

Translucent Florals ~ Simple & Quick Birthday Card

Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Hello everyone, I need to apologize for my absence in the last couple of weeks, I have missed sharing with you but it has been very hard for me to see my computer screen since I experienced a detached retina at the end of July. It has now been repaired but it is like opening your eyes underwater – all bleary and exceedingly frustrating – however I can close that eye to type for a while – so I shall share what I can until my sight returns to normal!

My card features one of the new stamp sets that will be in the Holiday 2023 Sept – December Mini catalog which will be released on Sept 6th. As you know being a demonstrator gives me the chance to get my hands on ‘new stuff’ before the official release.
