Did everyone have a nice holiday?  For the second year in a row we have decided to travel to a tropical location for Christmas for a few reasons, 1) it's cooooooooold in China, and we want to feel...

Hi there! I'm all-in when it comes to Christmas!  I usually make 40-50 cards (this year it was less, thankfully!!) for friends and family and I try to never duplicate a design (I get bored), so one trick...

Hi! I'm here today with a quick and easy gift tag (and bag).  I was contacted by a colleague who wanted me to buy him some essential oils for his S.O. (how sweet!!) so I made a little tag...

Whew!!  December is here! I look forward to Christmas (a little too much, probably.... hehehe) and then when December hits it's like BAM: concerts, parties, crafting, shopping, then it's over!  I don't have a lot of card orders...

Happy Halloween!!! I did a few activities leading up to Halloween that allowed me to play with my stash a little more than usual: I have that craft club I was talking about, and we did a few...

I don't normally do "life updates" but I have been somewhat reclusive and it's been really quiet around here.  Firstly, I will say that blogging, crafting, and doing anything beyond having the energy to be a good and competent...

Hello there! I am here with a colourful and cheery holiday card! This was made using a few basics from around the ol' craft room: Patterned Paper Die Cuts (Tim Holtz by Sizzix) Cardstock Glitter Glue SRM Stickers...

I just finished a little holiday from work (in China the first week of October is called the "Mid-Autumn Festival) and amongst shopping in the city, getting my hair cut, and getting a new tattoo I squeezed in...

Watercolours....  So much fun, right?  I like making backgrounds and being really free with how they're created.  I bought these Jane Davenport watercolour pens and created this background by dropping different colours around the paper and just kind...

As a teacher I always have a need for school-related cards, especially at the beginning and the end of the year. Councillors, admin, and fellow teachers need a special "kudos" this time of year, and small little note-cards...

Did you see my Halloween box the other day? I used some of the same materials to make a cute little tag! I used the Thinlits Die Set: Spooky by Sizzix to make the vampire (kind of like...

Hi there, it's me again with some mixed media fun! Halloween is a great reason to get a little messy with your projects, and it's fun to let loose and experiment a little. I have been vowing for...

Who's happy about Christmas Cards???  I am!!! I used the stamp set called Spirit of December for the entire card. I think the background turned out great, and all I did was stamp in white and add some...

Hi there!  On my summer holidays I had very limited supplies, but one thing I picked up on my travels was the Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers. They're basically ink-filled water pens, so they're perfect to play around with in...
