  • Pun Fun

    I fell inlove with the Pun Fun set way back when it first became available in the US, and YIPPEE for us, we have it now too. You’d think that having 2 boys myself, that I’d have some boy stamps, but I dont.  This set will come in handy I think! I’ve been very good…

  • Upsy Daisy

    Another great new stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Upsy Daisy, and another simple design. The daisies were stamped and embossed onto Pink Pirouette card, the sponged with Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose and Rose Red.  A little scalloped edging in Kiwi Kiss, layered onto Basic Black, with some Black Grosgrain Ribbon to finish it off….

  • Crazy for Cupcakes

    I think this new set may become one of my favourites! I’ve gone for a very simple design with this card, I was just really enjoying the soft Pink Pirouette, adding more of the Tangerine Tango and Chocolate Chip just made the card very heavy. The card started as a normal A5 folded in half…

I’ve combined this challenge with the Elite Challenges one, which was…

  • More Crafty Boys

    Here’s a few more projects made by my boys.  I helped them with the scoring and where to tape, and they did the rest.  Seeing as they were so easy they wanted to keep making them, now we have a house full of them. Take a 6×6 piece of paper, score at 2″ on all…

  • Homemade Board Game

    I’m so proud of my little guys, they’ve come up with some really creative thinking.  DS 7 was trying to make himself a checker board on a piece of paper, but got his colouring a little confused, so I pulled out my square punch, circle punch and some cardboard.  This is what he came up…
