have you HERD?

Good Morning!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holidays, and is looking forward to the New Year. I know I sure am. :)

TOday I have a sweet card that I think could be used for many situations.

All of these adorable animals are from the TAWS set With Wondering Awe. Except the little pig, which is from the Oinkers one of two free sets that come with a $90 purchase this month.

I also need to say that this will be my last post as a TAWS design team member. It has been such a blast working with Alison and all of the other AMAZING ladies on the design team. 

After some soul searching and much debate, I have decided that I definitely need to spend some more quality time with my family, something needed to go for now.

My blog posts will be quite sporadic for a while but be sure to check back in February for some exciting stuff!!

I have also decided to focus a bit more on some other forms of crafting that are near and dear to my heart, one of which being sewing.

Please check out my Facebook page for more info on what I have been doing in that regard!

Nature of Crafty Things

Thank you so very much for following me!

Take Care and have a wonderful rest of the Year!!

Shhhhh!

Hello there!!

I can't believe Christmas is almost here!! 

I'm not even remotely close to being ready, are you?

Ugh, every year I plan on starting early and it just doesn't happen. LOL!

As usual, I just couldn't resist an idea I had for a baby card, and this one just makes me giggle.

Both of these adorable little creatures are from With Wondering Awe, as is the "Shh".

I created the rest of the sentiment I created using Tag Alongs and Baby Talk.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful Holiday Season.

TAWS new release blog hop!

Good Morning!!

There are so many exciting things to tell you about.

First of all it's that fabulous time of month when we get to showcase one of the 3 releasing sets (which will be available tonight at 10pm TAWS time).

Also, this month instead of just one mini available free with a $40 purchase (Starburst) there is a second available (Oinkers) free when you spend $90 total, meaning you would get BOTH!!!

How awesome is that????

Second, as always there is a chance for you to win ALL 3 SETS from this month's release.

All you need to do is hop on over to the TAWS blog for all of the details.

***MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS***

Third, TAWS is offering a super fun promotion from Dec 1 - 12th.

Now that I have shared all of that fun stuff with you, 

on to my card!

I used With Wondering Awe, as well as the oldie-but-goodie Framed.

Now, it's time to hop!!

Good Morning!

Christmas is just one of my favourite times of year.

It was my Mom's as well, so things were always so well decorated and traditions upheld.

Lately it just seems to come up so darn quickly!

Today I have one of my Christmas cards to share, using the TAWS free-with-$40-purchase set Winter's Butterfly, as the background.

This little elf, from Toy Land, is one of my most favourite Christmas images.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Magic sentiment set.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

have a wonderful day!

you're tea-riffic

Good Morning!

Today is a very special day because it's the day we honour and remember family, friends and strangers who all have something very important in common,

they fought, and continue to fight, for our freedom.

My Grandpa is 94, and fought for the Canadian Military during the second world war.

Although he doesn't talk about it much, he proudly served and still wears his medals with pride.

My card today is SUPER simple, 

but is a great way to tell that special someone how terrific they are!

For this card I used TAWS' new set Tea Par-tea.

This teapot is so fabulous, and makes a bold statement all by its self!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Lest we forget.

TAWS November Release Blog Hop

Hello there!!

It's time, time for you to enjoy a bit of blog hopping and potentially win yourself some amazing stamp sets while you are at it.

Head on over to the TAWS blog for the details, you have until 9:00pm TAWS

So three sets are being released, as well as the free with $40 purchase mini,

Winter's Butterflies.

Here's my project.

I really like this little flower image that comes with the Tea Par-tea set, so I created a little background, then covered it with some vellum.

Here's all the links you need for this month's hop.

Good luck and Enjoy!!

TAWS October sneak peek Day 3 - Tea Par-Tea

Good Morning!

It's that time again, when we get to give you sneak peeks of the upcoming sets.

This new set, Tea Par-Tea, is just super sweet and adorable.

There are so many cute images and sentiments, plus it will pair nicely with the older set Breakfast club.

This idea came about because I have been recently trying to go through our family favourites, and write them out.

So I decided to design some in Photoshop, and left just enough room to stamp this cute little cup.

I did have to "selectively" stamp as there wasn't quite enough room to include the entire stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

hey you

Good Morning!!

I'm so excited that it's getting to be Halloween, one of my favourite times of year.

Super fun decorations, creative and interesting costumes and of course CANDY!!

I'm a sucker for candy, what can I say. 

This year I'm even more excited because my son is a bit older and I think will enjoy it this year, he's almost 2.

My husband is a huge fan of Star Wars, and our nickname for our son is Ewok (his name is Ewan) so we've decided to dress him up as Wicket. I can't wait to see how adorable he looks in it!

Anyway, on to my card for today.

I created this card with one of the fabulous feather images from TAWS Tickle Me Happy, and a sentiment from Tri-Me.

Thanks fo stopping by, have a wonderful weekend!

RAWR

Sometimes you just gotta let go and let out a massive...

RAWR!!

My week has definitely been like that.

Today I have a card I made using the October TAWS freebie (with $40 purchase from the store this month)

Lava You.

The set contains this adorable dino image and some pretty fabulous sentiments. It also pairs well with the previously released sets

Livin Fossil, Prehistoric and Stomper.

Cute don't you think?

Pop on over to the TAWS blog for more design team inspiration, and then go get this adorable set!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, have a great weekend.

Good Morning!

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends!

I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful feast with family or friends.

I unfortunately work but my hubby promises a nice plate full of all the fixin's will be waiting for me courtesy of my inlaws.

I can't wait!!

Anyway here is a quick card I made using the TAWS set Tickle Me Happy.

I adore the feathers in this set, they are so much fun to work with.

I have so many ideas.

The sentiment is from an older set, Talk To Me.

Thank so much for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful day.
