Continue readingI recently learned that here, in the US, hedgehogs are kept as pets, who knew? Back in my native UK they live in the wild, visit gardens at night, eat the slugs and snails then curl up and sleep thru the winter!
I have broken out my water-colouring pencils again today, for the cutest little guy EVER, using the Walk in the Woods stamp set to create this thank you card, but as always – change out the greeting and it will make the perfect birthday or thinking of you card.
Continue readingHow delightful to get this bright and cheerful card in the post when you are feeling ‘not so good’. I am sure that there are many of us who know someone who has not been in the best of health, either thru the current health crisis or other issues, so having some Get Well Cards on hand is very useful.
The Healing Hugs stamp set is perfectly named and perfect for making todays’ card. I chose Magenta Madness paired with some Smoky Slate and Silver Foil for this little splash of cheerfulness.
Continue readingI joined Stampin’ UP! as a demontrator in November 2010 – and have just celebrated my 10th anniversary, it was one of the best decisions I made. It allowed me to express my creativity using high quality, coordinating products. It has also allowed me to meet new people with whom I have become friends.
I believe in sharing what I do and introducing people to card crafting and seeing the joy on their face when they create their first card. I chose to develop a business for myself but that is not a requirement, read on for some more information 🙂

So many wonderful products available, all occasions covered from Valentine thru to Father’s Day and more! PLUS this year’s Sale-a-bration begins at the same time!
As a demonstrator perk, I have been able to have a drool over the catalog since early November then to pre-order some of them since December 1st! I can tell you there are lots of lovely things, covering all tastes and card-crafting styles.
Continue readingOn January 5th we will have a new mini catalog with lots of loverly goodies to help our creative juices. Those who have shopped for their goodies with me over the past year will have already received their copy of the new ‘mini’ as well as the Sale-a-bration brochure – tune in on Tuesday for some more information!
Today’s card is a ‘sneak peak’ of the new Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set – it has a coordinating Dragonflies Punch which I have used along with some ink and paper!
Continue readingJanuary 1st 2021 – the start of a brand new year. I am not a big fan of January, I will be packing up my Christmas decorations on the 6th and it will be a while before we can look forward to spring showing all the new color and growth.
In the early part of December I had a class to create a flip over calendar, everyone loved it and made me promise we will do another later in this new year! I thought I might start each month this year by posting the page for that month, so today I share, January!
Continue readingAfter the last few weeks of Christmas themed projects it is time for a complete change! I think a lot of folks who have December birthday’s can get a bit overlooked so I think it is time to give you an idea for one. It speaks to me of being more of a masculine card using the Seaside Notions Stamp Set along with Pretty Peacock and Pool Party Card.
Continue readingMerry Christmas Everyone!
Today’s project is inspired by a blog hop I recently took part in, this is the reason I love blog hops, you can get such inspiration. I have put a link to my inspiration a little further down so you can check it out for yourself.
Continue readingToday is Christmas Eve – as my great- niece would be telling her Daddy today ‘ one more sleep until Father Christmas gets here’. I am spending my day with final preparation for tomorrow’s lunch and then settling down in front of the fire to watch some Christmas movies!
They say that less is more ~ not entirely sure I agree with that when it comes to card making but today I used a ready made card base from the Gold Cards and Envelopes Pack. It is Very Vanilla and has gold foil decoration on it, so that was my color choices decided, then a little dash of red to finish off! And, you know it was surprisingly quick to create all of the 10 cards that were in the pack!
