Itโs been 5 weeks since the birth of my third child, Claire. Itโs about this stage when you are craving some of your old routines. For me, thatโs crafting. It can be incredibly hard to find that inspiration and get back into your creative self especially with limited time. Itโs always nice to be pushed by challenges or to be inspired by someone elseโs work. Keeping it simple has always been a great way for me to get my juices flowing. For this monthโs project, I have used the By the Dock Bundle by Stampinโ Up!. You can find this bundle in their Occasions Catalogue. Living on the East Coast of Canada means that I am always pulled towards anything nautical so this stamp set and coordinating framelits are a must-have item. The first step I did was to water colour several images from this stamp set. This time I…

It’s Friday night!ย A perfect time to “shake those feathers”.
This is my six-year-old son Jack. He absolutely loves dinosaurs. So, when we went on vacation to Florida a couple of weeks ago we were sure to check out Dinosaur World. Dinosaur World did not disappoint. It was clean and quiet. It had a perfect balance of something for the tiniest littles to the adults. And letโs get serious here โ dinosaurs are cool no matter what your age. So, when Stampinโ Up! released the Dinoroar Product Suite, it was a must-buy for me. I just didnโt realize it was going to come in handy so quickly. Like a handful of others, Stampinโ Up! has made life easy for you by having sweet images on their Dinoroar Designer Series Paper that can be cut out using their Dino Days framelits rather than only the stamps. This bundle has been a favourite of mine hands down. I mean, I canโt see…

Are you someone that makes all the Halloween treat bags? Perhaps you are the co-worker that brings treats for the adults in your office or the awesome mom that brings the coolest treats for all the Brownies? Sometimes I am and sometimes I am not. It always depends on how much time I have. This year Stampinโ Up! is making it pretty easy for me (and you) to bang out several of these treats in plenty of time before Halloween. Check out these coffin boxes by Stampinโ Up! I meanโฆ how fun are these? To create my Halloween coffins, I had limited product to use. Using elements from the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper for the inside and outside of the coffin, I was able to make the coffins come to life. However, once the treats are inside the box you need to hold the coffin together with some trims…
