Hello Hubby Ted and I celebrated our 48h Wedding Anniversary this past Wednesday. We got married in Victoria, BC Canada, and
honeymooned in Tofino, BC Canada which is one of my favourite places on this earth. We did not know way back then, that Tofino would play such an important part of our life once we moved back onto Vancouver Island. We camp there every March for 10 to 14 days, and we usually go there for a day trip around our Anniversary. Just to eat at TacoFino and walk
Mackenzie Beach (which is the beach we stayed on back in 1976). Unfortunately, this year, we have not found time to do our day trip. With me busy with my events and creating, and Ted busy driving the local train, it just has not been in the cards. But we have not given up hope, maybe in October! Meanwhile, I hope you have an
amazing weekend. Now, here's all the news in my Stamping World for you. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and I hope to see you during one of my live stamping demonstrations soon! CLASSES AND EVENTS Open for Registration Here's a list of events I have open for registration

Creative Inspiration
with a Colour CombinationThis week I have a special Free Tutorial for you using the More Than Autumn bundle. It's for a colour combination challenge: And here's the project it inspired:  This card is for the pumpkin spice fans out there and is perfect to send to a friend and fellow fan!
A wide strip
of Crushed Curry Cardstock was embossed using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. The embossed strip was adhered to a Pumpkin Pie Cardstock mat, which was then added to a Pecan Pie folded card base.
The stitched label element was cut from Basic Beige Cardstock using the largest label die from the Nested Essentials Dies, and the "nothing's better than" saying from the More than Autumn Photopolymer Stamp Set stamped as shown with Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink. "Pumpkin" and "Spice" were die
cut from Pecan Pie Cardstock using the dies from the More than Autumn Dies, and adhered underneath the stamped saying using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The label element was added to the card front, and the overhang on the left and right sides trimmed.
The takeout cup image, also from the More than Autumn set, was stamped on Pecan Pie and Basic White Cardstock and the images die cut using the coordinating dies. The cup label was cut from the white die cut using Paper Snips and adhered to
the Pecan Pie die cut. The whipped cream image was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Crumb Cake Classic Stampin' Ink, and the small pumpkin image stamped on Pumpkin Pie Cardstock using Pebbled Path ink. Both elements were die cut using the coordinating dies, and used to complete the takeout cup element. The finished cup was added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals™.
