Not so mellow yellow!

I am in love... with Delightfully Dijon. It's the perfect mustard yellow colour that isn't too bright and isn't too brown. I usually fall in love with one in colour each year and I think this might be the one.... although Tip Top Taupe could be a close second. Hot of the heels of my last post I'm still on my gratitude card kick. How are you guys going with that? Any gratitude cards getting made and posted? This one if quite different from last weeks - with a much bolder colour palate. I'm really still getting my crafting mojo back this year. It's been so hectic at work that I haven't made as much time for it as I like. I hope that my gratitude cards will help me be a little more intentional about setting some craft time - as it's so good for my soul! (And my energy levels as it completely refreshes me mentally). This card was super quick and easy to make. A few layers. One stamped image. Some embossing with my bigshot - and hey

Miles apart but still in my heart...

2020 has been tough. We've been sheltering in place, physical distancing and doing everything we can to stay safe, well and see this pandemic come to an end. For many of us - myself included - this has meant spending a year far away from family and friends. Even though we are far apart, this year has been the year to go deeper with relationships and really cherish what matters - the conversations we can have and the memories we share.

The leaves I layered on top are from the Forever Flourishing dies . I used the Lovely Labels punch to create my layered label for my sentiment. I actually bought the Lovely You stamp set and Lovely Labels as a bundle (it's cheaper) as it goes really wel

Same same, but different

I've broken the mold! I've done it! I've wrapped up my showcase of 'rule of 3' cards - for the moment. The funny thing is that even though the card I'm showing you today is very different - and much 'busier' than my recent cards, there is something about it that is still the same - but different. As you can see, there is a lot more going on in this card. There are layers, there are colours, there are embellishments, there is texture. On the surface of it it looks very different to say this card . However there are some techniques which are exactly the same. The repeated use of colours and shapes means that there is a certain symmetry to the card. The layered circles are repeated in threes vertically across two rows and as two sizes layered on top of each other. The use of embellishments like buttons and punched shapes is repeated, but alternately placed. The colours are repeated in different designs of DSP. Despite the 'busier
