A Little Romance

Hello Everyone! Been on another break, as you can see. I will try to get around and visit you soon as I can. I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend! Today I am sharing a card featuring two gorgeous collections from Pion Design, " My Dearest Sofia " and " Theodore & Bella ". Isn't it amazing how you can use these papers to create a card for any occasion!    Pion products: My Dearest Sofia - Rose Linens PD8804 My Dearest Sofia - Generous PD8807 My Dearest Sofia - Borders PD8810 Theodore & Bella - Bunny Hugs PD8607 Theodore & Bella - Time to Cuddle PD8601 *** The weather here has been perfect for long walks, so I have been taking trips to my neighbour lake and I have discovered several new birds! What a complete thrill to see an animal for the first time, and an even bigger thrill to capture it with my camera!  Here is a  Ruby Crowned Kinglet . He is wicked small, wicked fast and wicked cute! I didn't even know these birds existed, how cool is...

Hello Everyone! Today I'm sharing a beautiful all-occasions card made using the newest collection from Pion Design, " My Dearest Sofia ". I just adore these Cherry Tree images, they work so well with the soft blue and pink tones! Pion products: My Dearest Sofia - Lovely Things PD8802 My Dearest Sofia - Cherry Linens PD8805 My Dearest Sofia - Caring PD8812 My Dearest Sofia - Borders PD8810 My Dearest Sofia - 6x6" Lovely Things PD8902 *** I had a lot of inquiries about the horrible loss of trees here in Southern Ontario, so here's a quick rundown on one of the problems (there are more than one).

It has gotten quite out of control the last couple of years due to the mild winters, as the prolonged cold would normally help to kill off the larvae.  Where I am located, a good portion of the trees are Ash, and they are all being cut down even thou...

Deck the Halls

Hello Everyone! Today I am sharing a masculine Christmas card made with the Christmas Noel paper pack from Recollections from Michael's Craft Store.  The credit for this card goes to a very talented woman named Margaret of Margyz Paper Games . I pretty much copied one her designs because I just loved it so much. You can find the original card HERE . I highly recommend you give her a visit, you will find as much inspiration there as I do!! *** My landscape photo today is an image of the decline in nature around the lake where I live. See that big horrible building in the background? This time last year, I couldn't see it because of all of the trees.  They have cut down more than 100 trees just on the trail around the lake. It just breaks my heart! Not only does take away homes, food sources and protection from predators for the squirrels and the birds, but it's also effected away my privacy, soundproofing and even the shade and wind protection on the house and the trails. It...
