New beginnings!
Good afternoon, hello and hiya!
Apologies for not chatting to you all for so long but, as the title of this post suggests, it's time for some new beginnings!
After a few months of not feeling so well and having a poorly, elderly dog who has now crossed Rainbow Bridge, it's time to refocus on my papercrafting and Stampin' Up! adventures.
A change of name was also part of these new beginnings, for a few reasons, and what better name but that of our late doggy - Corrie. This name was chosen for her as a puppy, as it has a Scottish meaning - it means a cirque (or hollow) on top of a mountain formed by glacial erosion which fills with snow. Being a West Highland White Terrier, this fitted her perfectly.
I think it also fits my papercrafting perfectly, as I'm Scottish and it's been snowing here this weekend ...... plus I also still prefer making small projects - and Corrie was a small dog!
Also, one of my favourite sayings is "Every dog has its day", so this is very much Corrie's day 💖
So what have I been up to since I last dropped in?
Well, I've not been feeling so well over the past year and have had lots of hospital appointments and time off work, but I'm on the mend so I don't need to bore you all with any of the details.
Our gorgeous doggy also grew to be a poorly, blind and deaf elderly lady and a lot of our time was taken up with looking after her. We sadly had a very difficult decision to make in September and we've just taken some time to adjust to her no longer being around after being a huge part of the family for nearly 16 years.
So my crafting mojo took itself off for a VERY long holiday! Unfortunately, said mojo didn't actually do me the courtesy of saying where it had headed off to and, despite much searching, I couldn't find it anywhere! Naughty! So I had to wait until it felt good and ready to come back and tell me it was ready for more adventures 😵
More recently I've started to prepare for a Christmas papercraft workshop (details of the event here), so if you're in or around Dunfermline, Fife, it'd be lovely to see you if you can manage along for some Christmas crafting and mince pies 🎄
I've also started a new reading group to get back to another passion.
So although I have a new name here and on my Facebook page, I'm still me!
I hope you'll still follow me and enjoy seeing what I've been up to - watch out for a post with a project VERY soon.
I'm currently thinking about how often to post in my blog and I'm even thinking about starting video tutorials ......... so I'd love to know what you think if I do!
Watch this space!
It's lovely to be back and I'm really looking forward to sharing some new projects and news with you.
See you all soon.

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge
Good morning and welcome to Lilliput once again!
Thank you
for joining us for another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! We’re so excited
to be sharing this hop with you. The
products used are all available in the current Annual, or seasonal, Stampin’
Up!® Catalogues. Simply use the buttons
at the bottom of the post to keep hopping!
This month, the template for our sketch was set by our Anna. It was certainly a challenge, but I had my idea come into my head much quicker than some previous projects!
I knew I wanted to have a Christmas theme for this one and I knew I wanted to incorporate gingerbread men, but that was it!
So, again, I decided to sit down, look at my cardstock and my Designer Series Paper, and let them tell me what today's end result was going to be.
This is the outcome - a gingerbread man Christmas note card!
I cheated a little bit with the 'oval' shape as I didn't want to use an oval punch with these sadly now being discontinued, so I thought that my gingerbread man punched out with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch was close enough!
The only bit I'm not sure about is that he ended up standing almost on another gingerbread man's head! But if you decide to 'go with the creative flow, these things happen 😄
For this notecard, I used one of Stampin' Up!'s ready-made notecards in Crumb Cake. These measure 5" x 3.25".
I added a mat using a sheet from the Candy Cane Lane DSP pack (as are all the DSP parts in this project). This was slightly smaller at 4.75" x 3.25"
I then cut the bottom piece of DSP using a very technical term and precise measuring technique called "make sure it's big enough to get all of that gingerbread man in"!
The two vertical strips of DSP both measure 3" x 1.25" and are simply overlapped and placed as per the template. No precise measuring was involved!
I stamped my gingerbread man - from the 'Cookie Cutter Christmas' photopolymer stamp set* - on to Crumb Cake cardstock using Crumb Cake ink and cut him out using the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. I coloured his eyes using the Crumb Cake Stampin' Write Marker from the twin set on page 5 of the current Autumn-Winter Stampin' Up! catalogue (details in the product list below) and added a couple of the smallest Basic Pearls to highlight his buttons.
I stuck him to the card using Dimensionals to raise him up a bit and add that bit of dimension which I always like to have in my projects where possible.
* I ordered the Cookie Cutter stamp set and punch as a bundle, which is cheaper than buying these separately. Again, I'll add the items AND the bundle to the product list at the bottom.
The 'stars' in the top corner on my card are Basic Rhinestones to add that always-required bit of bling!
I hope you like this card and that you will carry on visiting all our other crafty friends at their blogs, using the buttons below.
The next hop you'll be visiting is the lovely Angelina at Intatwyne Designs:
Or if you're being a rebel and travelling backwards, you'll arrive at our lovely Keren at 2d Coloured! But you should have arrived here from Keren's blog if travelling forwards:
Thanks again for visiting and I hope to see you again soon!
Have a lovely Saturday!
Karen 💖
