Retiring List 2008

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS……. It’s out with the old and in with the new this month! I am both sad to see some of my favourite things retiring from this current catalogue (the two sets above “Petal Pushers” and “Trimtastic” are both on the list) yet excited to see the new … Read more

Gratitude

Thought I would share with you my latest journal cover. I have decided that this will be a gratitude journal (hence the Merci stamped inside the oval frame on vellum) which I will fill with photos and journaling about all the things I am thankful for. I do forget sometimes to be thankful for the … Read more

Embossing

Here is a quick card using the embossing technique and the Carte Postale set. I have used the Gold detail embossing powder and brushed gold card stock as well as a scrap of Cameo Coral, mounted on a square of Basic Black card stock. I swiped the cardstock with my Embossing Buddy anti-static pad before … Read more

Merci

I was feeling the need to create something in honour of Valentines Day and for my three workshops this weekend I thought I would nominate watercolouring as the technique for the make-n-takes. The Merci set from the Sale-A-bration catalogue has become my firm favourite and I blame it for my recent Blender Pen burnout……..I think … Read more

Birthday Whimsy – with Bling!

Images copyright Stampin’ Up! I can’t believe we are nearly 1/2 way through Sale-A-bration! I am really going to miss these stamp sets when they are gone. Don’t forget that any one of these sets could be yours for free when place an $100 order during the remainder of sale-A-bration. This card is one that … Read more

Bud basics

I love using Wheels in my stamping. They make the whole process a lot quicker and easier. I can whip up around 10 cards in 1/2 an hour using a wheel……and a co-ordinating stampset makes the whole process even more fun! For this card I have used the Bud Basics stamp set and the matching … Read more

Look what I made today!

I have to confess that I am totally in love with this stamp set. I had some time to “play” today while the kids had some time outside (first time in a couple of days due to the rain) and I came up with a few cards that I am pretty happy with. Here is … Read more
