Delicate Desert

 Happy Sunday...I hope you've had a good weekend! 

I don't know about you, but there are times when I see a product collection in the catalogue and it does absolutely nothing for me. That was the case with the Delicate Desert collection from the January-April Mini. It was nice and all, but SO not my style. Then I watched Sara and Shelli do uh-MAZING things with it at OnStage and I HAD to have it🤦🏻‍♀️

After playing with it for the better part of a week, I am absolutely IN LOVE with these products! The papers are stunning and the dies spectacular. Check out the suite below:

Here are just some of the projects I made with it:

The last three cards are the ones I demonstrated in my Facebook Live this week. You can check out the replay at the link below. You'll find all of the measurements for all three cards in the video description on my YouTube channel.

Thanks so much for stopping by this week. Be sure to check out the Last Chance promotion, which starts on Tuesday for fantastic deals on retiring products from both the 2022/23 Annual and January-April Mini Catalogues.

Have a great week!

Rain or Shine

 Happy last full day of winter!! Although it sure doesn't feel like it here in southern Ontario, the calendar says springs begins tomorrow! Now if we could just get the weather to read the calendar we can get on with the sunshine, warm temperatures and spring flowers!

To help get us into the springtime mindset, I've been featuring the Rain or Shine suite all week long and I am absolutely LOVING the adorable little characters and their rainy-day shenanigans. Check out this fabulous suite...

 I had such fun designing these projects...

The final three projects are the ones I demonstrated in this week's Facebook Tuesday Live @ Five video. You can catch the replay by clicking the image below. If you'd like to recreate any of the projects, all of the measurements are in the video description on my YouTube channel. I have to say, making the sweet cards made the cold, snowy weather we've had all week seem not quite so bad! 

Thanks for checking in...have a spectacular week...and happy spring!

Share A Milkshake

 Well hello there! It's been a minute, hasn't it?! How are you??

For nearly a year I have been struggling with how to effectively manage this blog along with my other social media channels. I considered archiving it, as I just don't seem to have the time to manage it all. But this little corner of cyberspace has been an important one in the growth of my business over the years and it seemed like a shame to let it go after nearly 13 years. So, I am going to attempt to do a week-in-review every Sunday that includes all of the samples I shared in my weekly Facebook Live, along with link to the replay on my YouTube channel. This way, I'll be able to keep fresh content coming here for those who prefer to follow a blog rather than other social media platforms, without needing extra samples to share. So...here we go...

This week's product focus was the Share A Milkshake bundle from the January-April Mini Catalogue...

This bundle is SO MUCH FUN to play with...and was JUST what I needed to put me in a summer frame-of-mind during a miserable winter weather week here in Ontario. Check out these sweet projects...

Now, if those don't make you think of frosty summer treats, I don't know what will! I demonstrated all three of these cute cards in my Facebook Live this week. The video description includes all of the measurements and colours used for each card, so it is a one-stop inspiration stop. You can catch the replay on my YouTube channel below:

If you're still checking in after so much inconsistency on my part, THANK YOU! I do SO appreciate your loyalty! Here's hoping I can reward it with these weekly posts!

Have a great week...see you next weekend.
