Colour Me Happy
Well, the challenge keeps growing and you guys never cease to amaze me!
Why? Read on friend, I shall explain.
Creativity IS Good For Us!
Well, if you ever needed justification for that gigantic pile of craft stash making the floor boards ground, then you can let people know that science and research are starting to prove that doing something creative on a regular basis is good for our general well being.
The lovely folk at Harvey’s Fabrics sent me a fabby infographic that lists just some of the reasons. Originally designed around sewing, a lot of what is shown applies to many creative pasttimes – it’s an interesting read – and next time the OH moans, you can pop this up on your screen as the reason.
You’re welcome!

Stylish Silhouettes 10
Sad to say that it’s the last in this little mini series of makes using the Stylish Silhouettes range but happy to say that it’s possibly the most colourful!
Stylish Silhouettes 9
Remember the single layer stamping techniques that I shared some time ago? Well, I decided to see how this would turn out with the Stylish Silhouette stamps …
Stylish Silhouettes 8
Back with more Stylish Silhouettes. This time just using the stamp range that accompanies the laser cut paper shapes.
Thought this one might not be immediately obvious so have a brief step by step for you too.
Stylish Silhouettes 7
A little gear change in this post. Still using the Stylish Silhouette range but now starting to incorporate the clear stamp range that accompanies them.
Stylish Silhouettes 6
No wait! This is my favourite … ugh, I just can’t decide. Still well happy with the result though :)
Acceptance Can Be The Key
Stylish Silhouettes 5
Well, well, well, they just keep on giving – those Stylish Silhouette gave me another idea for making a simply elegant card.
