Today I am playing along with Pootles color challenge 012. We were challenged to create a card using Tip Top Taupe, Flirty Flamingo and Mint Macaron. These are all current In-colors and while I really like them all, it had not occurred to me to use them together but along with the Paisley and Posies stamp set…. they really work! Continue reading

Stampin’ Up Product Share ~ Designer Series Paper and Ribbons
The new 2016 – 2017 Annual catalog has a wonderful selection of new Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Ribbons- as soon as I saw them I just knew I wanted to get my hands on all of them! Well, the perfect opportunity to do so without breaking the bank is to take part in a product share.
So in July we did a DSP share and August a ribbon share, these have all now been delivered to their new homes, but I thought I would just share …. the shares!!!

Holiday Catalog is now live!!!
Today is the second day of September – we are on the threshold of Autumn…. already!!! The nights will start to draw in and the days get shorter and cooler and we turn our thoughts to the holidays – what better to do with the longer evenings than to plan and prepare for the holidays.

Stampin’ Up Featured Product ~ BIG SHOT
Oh boy …………… do I love my Big Shot – from the very first time Stampin’ Up! started to sell it in 2008 to the present day it has been a part of my work bench – close and ready to use when needed. Over the years the die cutter itself has not changed much but the accessories and dies now available are fantastic offering a whole range of designs and techniques, many of which I have shown in various cards and project on this blog.
So I think it is time to revisit the Big Shot – if you don’t have one you should certainly make the investment – and if you do but it doesn’t get used much – may be this post will encourage you to dust it off – purchase a few new products to use with it and make it your best buddy again!
Happy Birthday, Mum
Today my Mum celebrates her 85th birthday and I am in England with her and the rest of my family. It is very difficult to find a gift for her as she really has all she needs. But I would like to share a little story of my gift for her. Continue reading
Happy Birthday ~ Dear Friend + a video!
What a beautiful sentiment this is from the Birthday Blooms Stamp Set and perfect for the card I wanted to make for my dear friend who lives in PA. Her favorite colors are pink and purple, Pink Pirouette and Wisteria Wonder work so beautifully together with the silver filigree in the butterfly aperture of this card.
Watercolor Wings congratulations!
One of the ladies in my Stampin’ UP! team promoted to Bronze Elite during June, this is a wonderful achievement for her and carries benefits which includes 25% discount on everything she buys from Stampin’ Up!
I could not let this go by without a card for her, she loves butterflies and Daffodil Delight – and that is what she got on her card.
