Finishing up the One-sheet Wonder
I managed to finish my last two cards today! Boy oh boy did that take a while. I was trying to be imaginative, which wasn’t coming easily today. And everything seemed so pink. Well, that was the point, lots and … Continue reading
2nd one-sheet wonder card
Card #2 of the one-sheet wonder cards done (using the handy dandy template). Card #1 is here. This is definitely a lot of pink! Pink background, pink borders, pink paper, pink ink, pink flower, pink ribbon. Woah.. the word “pink” … Continue reading
A one-sheet wonder
Who doesn’t love a fun challenge? In card making, we seek them out. And I certainly do love it when this challenge comes with some layouts to follow. So the other day I started my first one-sheet wonder. I was … Continue reading
Project 52: Dine Around Victoria
It seems like we’ve been a bit repetitive with the typical “going out to dinner” date. However, I had a good reason for dining out this week! It’s the annual Dine Around and Stay in Town event here in Victoria. … Continue reading
Happy Home

Blue Butterflies
Did anyone notice how sunny it is here today? Blue sky, no clouds, sun, sun, sun! We get a lot of rain in general this time of year, so this sunshine is very much appreciated! Not to mention the fact … Continue reading
Batch of Bugs
I had made a whole shwack of these cute little bug cards. I think they’re pretty elegant in a simple sort of way. I’m super fond of the Thank You! stamp. You can’t see, but the two at the back … Continue reading
Cute simple glittery gifts
This card is pretty enough to give to a good friend and simple enough to do when you think you just don’t have enough time.. although you do need some drying time. I started with the card (already had lighter … Continue reading
Flowers and Circles
I was still feeling pretty inspired by my purple and brown combination, so I decided to branch out a bit. I also wanted to try the new stamp set I got for a very nice price… After playing around with … Continue reading
Project 52: House and Crib
That title sounds very much different from what it means. No, we didn’t do any house planning, or anything to do with babies. For our date night last week, we did 2 things that Nathan likes very much! We … Continue reading
Simply sweet cupcakes
Who doesn’t love cupcakes? They’re my favourite. In fact, I made them instead of a cake for my wedding. Yep, 120 cupcakes later and I still might make them again! I even hand made little gumpaste flowers for each one. … Continue reading
