Hang In There.....

The card below was made for a friend who is going through a very challenging time. Her favourite colours are the soft blues and whites...and as I said in the accompanying message..."This card is made with sooo much more love than skill....

My Awesome Family!

Other people may wish to correct me, saying, "You mean, your husband's family". Technically, they would be accurate in doing so, but in every way possible, I regard this precious couple, as MY family! They have been there for me in good times and difficult times, and welcome me at every visit. 

They are simply the BEST!

Change Stamps to Punches in MDS

My Digital Studio program has many exciting features, and a new one I have learned, is to take a digital stamp and change it into a digital punch - as in the example below.

Five Minute Challenge

This scrapbook page is in answer to a Challenge for the Simply My Digital Studio group. We had to create a page in five minutes, using an existing template.

Puff, puff...I did it...in almost five minutes, including Thinking Time...so this may not entirely make sense...my theme was to give thanks for new days, and new beginnings, and the calendar inserts are intended to reflect that.

When I've messed up, or feeling low at the end of a day...then - Hooray for New Beginnings! 

Calm Christmas!

Calm Christmas.....do those words go together, you might ask?

Yes, they surely do, when we enter in to the true spirit of Christmas.

It isn't about the tree, the decorations, or the gifts, but rather the celebration of the birth of Jesus, the one who was truly the everlasting Gift from God the Father. 

My card is made using the Calm Christmas download from My Digital Studio.

Flying Geese!

My former hobby, before I discovered Stampin' Up! and paper craft, was patchwork quilting. Time consuming, expensive, and very satisfying, it was a delightful occupation for many years.

My favourite quilt, and the ONLY one I ever hand quilted, was made in the traditional Flying Geese pattern. It was made as a raffle prize for the nursing home where my late husband resided.
