HAPPY NEW YEAR! I was delighted to be included in Tim Holtz’s Holiday Blogworthy Links last month. Actually, delighted is an understatement! I woke my husband up at 6am screaming and jumping up and down… well wouldn’t you?! Being that it happened so close to Christmas, I haven’t had the opportunity to thank you so much for your kind comments on both mine and the…

I was delighted to be asked by my friend and owner of Scrapdeco to do a Christmas card tutorial for the blog. Naturally my card is made almost exclusively with Tim Holtz products. I absolutely love the new Snowman Blueprints Stamp and Framelits Die Set and the new Sizzix Magnetic Platform for Wafer Thin Dies is a total game changer! Please visit SCRAPDECO to see…

Recently I’ve been experimenting with watercolor techniques using different Distress products. I’d only used my Distress Stains to swipe across a tag or stain ribbon, so was thrilled to discover how incredible they are to watercolor with. They are now part of my staple craft supplies and I hope to add more colours to my collection. I created this card for my Father-in-law’s birthday using…

It’s been a couple of weeks since I returned home from a lovely long weekend celebrating my birthday in the Swiss mountains. My DH is such a romantic and surprised me with red helium balloons, a chocolate mousse cake, champagne and fancy chocolates. As if that wasn’t enough, I was treated to a trip to my favourite store, Scrapdeco. I picked up some Tim Holtz…

When Tim Holtz challenged us to his Tattered Floral Challenge, the Tattered Florals Die was one of my least used, mainly because it was too, well, floral! After several attempts I hadn’t created anything that I felt worthy of this challenge. Then it occurred to me that what these flowers were missing was some much needed grunge! I grabbed the new Tim Holtz Sizzix Texture…

YAAAAY! Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013 is back for another year! This time I wasn’t terrified of slicing into my Texture Fades embossing folders because I had already taken the plunge, as seen in my Altered Texture Fades blog post. I had just about all the ingredients for January’s Tag, so decided to try and “colour inside the lines” and not deviate from the…

You’re probably on your second or third pot of Distress Stickles Dry Glitter Clear Rock Candy by now, but I’ve just discovered it and it’s better than calorie free chocolate! I am utterly addicted and find myself eying up everyday items in my apartment and wondering if I could “DSDG” it! I went to my local craft store, Scrapdeco, at the weekend as my Christmas…

Hope you had a fun filled, creative Christmas. I have been so busy eying up all the Winter CHA 2013 releases that I barely noticed January passing by! Christmas seems like a world away now, but I wanted to share a few photo’s of how I spent mine, (up in the Swiss mountains with my DH and a big bag of craft supplies). We drove…

Happy Halloween! I wanted to share a few of the creepy creations that I recently made for some of my swappy pals in the Tim Holtz Addicts group. I love the new Tim Holtz Sizzix In The Bag Die, which I used with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Mini Cat & Raven Movers & Shapers Dies. They remind me of ‘Trick or Treat’ bags and are…

Every time I saw Tim Holtz blog about slicing open his Texture Fades embossing folders, I would scoff a little at the madness of it. Take a sharp instrument to my precious craft supplies? Don’t be so ridiculous! So it was with trembling hands, that I finally took the plunge and sliced into mine! I marked the folder and sliced along the fold, leaving 1/2…
