I had so much fun preparing for our wedding. It was a very “paper-crafted” wedding, with lots of handmade decor that reflected the joy MSH (My Sweet Husband) and I felt as we shared our vows with family and friends. These were the table favours and name place cards I made for each of our guests.
Read MoreDragon Flies are beautiful insects and I love to see them at my cottage. When the dragon flies come out, we know the blackflies are gone, and they eat lots of mosquitos, so they are a wonderful sign of early summer. This card shares a pretty, shiny dragonfly and lets a friend know you are thinking of them.
Read MoreWe all find inspiration in many places. All sorts of people, places, events and activities can inspire and motivate each of us to try something new, work towards a goal, help others, and much more. I am greatful to everyone that inspires me in some way, and sometimes they don’t even know it.
Read MoreIf you have been following my blog, you know by now that I celebrate everything with a card. So I had to have a card for My Sweet Husband (MSH) as we start the next chapter of our lives together.
Read MoreI have many amazing friends within and beyond the crafting world. Each one is very special to me and makes my life better. I’m grateful to have them in my world. Today my card celebrates all my friends.
Read MoreI wanted to make a special card for my new husband that fit with our wedding theme. I used the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut paper that we had on our invitations, and the colours from our wedding.
Read MoreI love to stamp, and I love that you can create beautiful handmade cards with some really simple stamping. This card was really easy to make, but packs a big punch (of love!) when you send it to someone special. I made a short video to show you how easy it is to create this card.
Read MoreThe SUOC (Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge) has a great theme - Anything Winter! I decided to make a winter card without any snow, even though we have snow here. Instead, I decided to focus on a glorious sunny day that can make even the coldest temperatures seem a little warmer. The trees are bare, but the sunshine is wonderful.
Read MoreThe January Girls Get Away Weekend (GGAW) has now come and gone, but what a fantastic time we had!! I was joined by a great group of ladies, and we spent the weekend doing what we love; stamping, scrapping, crafting, sharing and caring.
Read MoreThree years ago I met a wonderful, sweet man. He rocked my world and made it so much better in countless ways. Today we are celebrating sharing our lives and our love for the past three years, and in less than one month we will be married!
Read MoreStamping a cute image on a card front can be fun, but stamping it twice, as a mirror image just ups the fun and cute factor off the chart! The Stamparatus makes it easy to do.
Read MoreThe last few days have been snowy in Wasaga Beach. This is both good and bad news!! It is good news because I love to ski, and Blue Mountain is opening this Friday. The bad news is that we haven’t seen the sun much as it has been cloudy and snowing. Today I have a sunny card to fix that!
Read MoreFall has definitely arrived where I live. The days are shorter, the nights are colder (and sometimes the days are cold too!), and there is a definite fall feel in the air. Fall can be a season of glorious colour as nature paints everything in new fall shades.
Read MoreHave you ordered the Wishing You Well stamp set yet? It is a fantastic stamp set with gorgeous images, and sentiments suitable for Fall, Christmas and all year round. Over the next four blog posts I will be showcasing this stamp set, so you will see just how versatile it is.
Read MoreGratitude is the easiest way to bring more good into your life. Living a grateful life is a choice we all make. We can focus on what we don’t have, or we can be grateful for the many blessings we have in our life. For me, that choice is easy. I am truly grateful for many things in my life, and I take time each day to think about at least some of them, to give thanks, and be grateful for them. It really is the easiest way to bring more good into your life.
Read MoreI love the High Tide stamp set. If you check out page 145 in the Annual Catalogue, you will see a few great projects made with this stamp set. I especially love how they have cropped some of the greetings to give even more flexibility to how you use this set. For my card today I used a full sentiment stamp that shares a great message of support.
Read MoreSometimes our cards have stamped images or items we have cut with our Big Shot, but sometimes I like to make a card where the sentiment is the main focal point. My card today is just that type.
