I’m so ready for Valentine’s Day, courtesy of my new stamper. Love it!

Yeah, maybe I will.
Here’s a tutorial (found via Craft magazine) on making polymer clay candy hearts (known to you parents out there as choking hazards).
Okay, Battlestar Season 4.0 has arrived. We are not going to complete watching this in time to watch the [...]

This is a small notepad I worked up yesterday, designed to be refilled with a simple one-signature paper pad. I have gotten so much mileage out of that cover paper. It started out as a large print of geometric shapes I did at the Mass Art printmaking studio when I took the Drawing Marathon there [...]

Searching for a card the other day, I stopped in at the Papery on Fort Street (across from the Bay Centre, if you haven’t been there). I saw these cards that were soooo far up my alley, well, a distasteful medical analogy is called for to describe it. I am so predictable. Throw some birds [...]

I often have trouble making time for art & crafting projects, which is why I love my little sewn books. They are like little appetizers. So easy to play and experiment; just dip into the paper stash and go. No shopping required. No excuses. Just enough structure to let you get started without having to [...]

Christmas cards are done, and ready to go in the mail. For the inside, I used greetings recycled from a batch of cards I picked up last year at the Salvation Army.

Some of the other card greetings are getting recycled as gift tags. Little pieces of collage are one of my favorite things [...]

Hi there. I am almost to the end of my crazy September. I’m looking forward to catching up with a lot of things, and will be back with a longer post soon. Work has been taking up all the big chunks of time, but I’ve been sneaking in little projects, like the mini sewn books [...]

Starting new projects can be a slow and clumsy process. These are accordian books I made over the weekend, while working on an idea for a photo album/CD sleeve. Let’s say — just hypothetically — that a person was to take a whole mess of pictures at a family get-together and wanted to share the [...]

I recently dipped my thrifting net at the Salvation Army and came up with some lovely drawing paper. Now, this stuff was Strathmore 100% recycled drawing paper before I repurposed it. So now I figure they must be, like, one THOUSAND percent recycled.

The cover stocks are not exactly recycled, but they are from [...]
