Christmas Wreath
We retired our Christmas Wreath last year after over a decade of good service. This year we will have a fresh new one for the door - handmade by me!
I fell in love with this wreath as soon as I saw it on page 74 of the Annual Inspirations Catalogue. It did take a bit of time to make but I'm thrilled with the result and can't wait for December 1st to hang it on my front door.

Keeping the clutter off your table
It doesn't matter how big or small your table is - when you are creating with paper you tend to cover the entire surface with papers, tools, adhesives, bling, stamps, inks and, in my case, cats. I have found one way to keep a lot of the items I'm using off the surface of the table. This means they don't get buried by other items on the table and saves me time.

My wish for every new parent
Here's a simple card to make for new parents. I've used the stamp set that comes with the Snowhaven Card WOTG Kit (G1085). The sentiment inside the oval frame talks about Christmas and sweaters. I cut that out so it's just the frame and then I can use any sentiment in the middle. The papers are scraps from Snowhaven and Wanderful. Don't you just love the textures on these little hearts?

Classic Doily
I fell in love with this stamp as soon as I saw it in the catalogue. It's called Classic Doily (B1424) and it does remind me of hand embroidery. I was playing with our new heat embossing powders and thought this stamp embossed with gold would look pretty special. It does! But you will have to believe me because I forgot to photograph it before I did the next step... colouring it in. I had planned to keep one plain but the colours of the Shin Han Touch Twin Markers are so gorgeous I couldn'…
Make a pretty card box
Following on from last Thursday's blog, I decided to make another set of the Snowhaven cards as a gift for my friend who is a bit snowed under with life at the moment to think about Christmas preparations. Having made the cards, I needed a container to present them in.
The My Creations range of chipboard boxes, frames and albums are perfect for gift giving. I daubed around the edges of my box in Glacier ink and then cut paper panels to fit to top and sides of the box. Add some left over embell…

It's time to think about Christmas Cards
Yes! It's only 11 weeks until Christmas so let's make sure that resolution to actually SEND some cards this year is met. I don't send 50-60 cards like I used to but there are a dozen or so really special friends who deserve a card each year. The Snowhaven Cardmaking Kit was perfect for me this year. The kit makes 15 beautifully hand crafted cards in an afternoon or evening. You make 5 cards each of 3 designs. Mine have been done since mid-August. Guess how good that feels!

A Lardhead Adventure
When my sister, Rhonda, and I were young our family's favourite TV show on Sunday Night was called, "Ask the Leyland Brothers" It screened between 1976 and 1980, covering 153 episodes. The series followed the Leyland brothers, Mike and Mal, who traveled across Australia and New Zealand in response to questions posed by viewers. Mike and Mal were slow talking Aussies who had awesome adventures with their wives and children.

Cornish Coastline
Mike and I have had a fabulous time travelling in Cornwall. It is such a pretty corner of the world.
This layout is one I adapted a little bit from the Wanderful WOTG kit. (G1088) Once again, we have taken far too many photos so I had to find a way to squeeze extras onto the page. Not shown in this photo are the Flip Flaps I will be adding to the layout at home. I'm really excited to have a pack of 15 3" x 4" Flip Flaps (Z3027)in our range now. I print most of my photos in this size and I …
