Retired items

I'm a little groggy today as I went to Montreal yesterday for the Coldplay concert and drove back overnight!  All I can say is WOW!  If you get a chance to see them, go for it!

Despite being a bit tired, I still thought a card was in order! I was really disappointed when the Season of Friendship stamp set was retired. It was one that I had had my eye on for quite some time and finally purchased.  I still use it though because I love all the pieces!!!!

I won't go through all of the products used as they are retired, except for the greeting which is from Tiny Tags (W118091 / C118592).


I hope you've had a great week!

Mojo Monday 251

I hope everyone is enjoying a great week!  We've finally had rain here in Ottawa and the temperature has gone down a bit as well!


I decided to participate in the Mojo Monday challenge for this week.  I am on a Christmas card kick at the moment.  This is partially for the new catalogue kick off event I am hosting on August 1st, but also to get my stash of Christmas cards ready now!

For this card, I used three different pieces of paper from the Snow Festival DSP which will be available from the new holiday catalogue beginning August 1st.  I thought that the trees added a bit of fun to what was otherwise fairly traditional paper!  The other products used are as follows:


*Whisper white card stock (100730)
*Gumball green card stock (126840)
*Raspberry ripple card stock (126842)
*Retired ribbon
*3/16" metallic brads (119741)
*Open sleigh stamp set (W126460 / C126462)


I hope you are getting a chance to stamp!  Until next time.

One Minute card

I cannot believe how quickly the summer is racing by!

Wicked is playing at the National Art Centre here in Ottawa and I went to see it yesterday after a few days at a cottage!  Given that I didn't have a lot of time, it struck me that it would be useful for all of you (who no doubt have busier schedules than me) if I started to show you some "one minute cards".  Admittedly, I did spend some time thinking about this card, but the process of actually making it took about a minute.  I will try and feature these types of cards on a more regular basis!

The products used for this card were:

*Certainly celery card stock (101650)

*Very vanilla card stock (105125)

*So saffron card stock (105118)

*Perfect plum card stock (101889)

*5/8" crochet trim ribbon (Victoria) (118481)

*Boho blossoms punch (119858)

*Large pearl basic jewels (125577)

*Pearl basic jewels (119247)

*Flowering flourishes stamp set (W126365 / C126367)

Feel free to email me if you have any questions or if you would like to order any of the products.

Have a great week!
