Stampin’ Up! Retiring List I have now had time to digest exactly what is going. Whilst many fabulous products are going, an equally large number of amazing new products are coming which are on trend and are irresistible. I know I can’t wait. I have just checked the updated Retiring List and already so many items have… Read More »

How to create unique handmade cards using paper scraps Lately my work area in my craft room has been a little messy – alright, very messy, with lots of leftover cardstock and DSP (patterned paper) scraps everywhere. For some unknown reason, at this moment I have this addiction to using up my scraps, both in scrapbooking… Read More »
Stampin’ Up! Swallowtail Background Stamp Swallowtail has been one of my favourite stamp sets since it was first introduced but this project turns this stamp set on its head.

This card holder is probably my favourite project (ever?????) and is a combined CASE of projects by Di Barnes and Patty Bennett. I fell in love when I first saw the card holder and it never fails to impress – a decorated folder with four notecards and envelopes. It is in line with the KISS principle… Read More »
As always, there is a story behind this story and I hope you don’t mind me sharing what is behind this scrapbooking layout for the class this Friday. Lately, I have only been creating traditional scrapbook pages for classes and really it has been more about the process and less about the photos. But on this occasion, I… Read More »
Every year, the Crafty Paper Bees, my team of demonstrators, host a fundraising event to raise much needed funds for cancer research. This year we are supporting the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, a cause very close to my heart, particularly at this time. And I have also discovered in the lead up to this event,… Read More »
These are the projects for this weekend – vacancies still exist for all classes at this time but numbers are limited. These cards are so gorgeous with the Friday class featuring one masculine card (always on the highly requested list) and one very feminine card. Sunday’s class is three projects plus a bonus project… Read More »
