Hello Everyone! It's been too long since I pulled out my Prima paper pad "Tales of You and Me". I have to say, this collection is one of my favourites when I want to do something girly and vintage! All of those roses and shades of pink, what's not to love! The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the silk ribbon is from Michael's Craft Store, the wood leaf flourishes are from Scrapiniec, the rose cameo is from The Funkie Junkie and everything else is from my stash.  Loving my new laces and want to send out a huge thank you to Patty of Creating with Paper and Bows . She makes such beautiful shabby chic pieces and always uses the most gorgeous laces! She inspired me to invest some money in a stash of nice Venice laces, and I am so glad that I did. Thanks Patty! *** Well I believe that's a wrap for autumn. There are a few leaves here and there desperately clinging to the trees, but a stiff wind will take those away leaving only a skeleton of a forest behind. This...

Hello Everyone! Today I am sharing a holiday card featuring this year's Christmas collections from Pion Design, " Christmas Wishes " and " Long Ago in Bethlehem ".  I just adore this image of Santa with his reindeer, so festive and fun! The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the mistletoe sprig is from W Plus 9. The cinnamon stick is real and I just brushed on a little white paint, sure makes the whole card smells Christmassy!!! I have tucked in a couple of bark snowflakes in the corners. I have a horrible habit of taking things out of the original package and now I can't figure out where to buy them. They're about 5cm wide. Does anyone know where I could purchase some more of these???

Hello Everyone! Taking a break from Christmas today because I was way too excited to play with my new Lemoncraft papers sent to me by the very talented Lisa of A Mermaid's Crafts . These papers are from the Daydream collection and you can purchase them at Lisa's Etsy shop here . For my birthday, my Mom sent me a gift card and I got a whole bunch of new Venice laces and chiffon flowers! I'm so in love with how these items look all loaded up on a card! *** This week was my baking week. I find during the holidays that I really crave cookies and squares with my tea or hot chocolate, the types of sweets you can't buy at the grocery store. My favourites are coconut/pineapple squares, and peanut butter/butterscotch cookies!! I'm all stocked up now, and I even made a fun batch of pecan cookies for the squirrels that they are loving!  For my birds today, this handsome Blackbird getting some take out... a Chickadee... and a ruggedly handsome male Cardinal putting on his best ...

Hello Everyone! Something a little different today, I'm going NEON! One thing I love about making Christmas cards is that I can whip out the bright colours and not feel like I've betrayed the shabby chic in me! The papers are from Canvas Corp and My Mind's Eye, the snowflakes are Cheery Lynn, the Happy Holidays sticker is from Tim Holtz Seasonal Chit Chat book, the wood reindeer is DeSerres, the green plaid ribbon is May Arts, the pearls are from My Ducks Doodahs , and the soft white snow is Flower Soft. Everything else is from my stash. I really don't use pom pom trim enough, love it! *** Nothing new to report with the weather. It's still way too warm here to be getting any snow, but we sure have gotten a lot of rain. It's been very overcast and the trees are pretty much all naked now, but thankfully I still have some colourful autumn photos to share! For my birds today, this elusive female Cardinal ... and a handsome Blue Jay ... "Holy crap my human, you ...
