This is the time of year when I like lighting candles. I light them all year round, usually because they give the room a nice scent, but as the nights start drawing in, and it’s cold and dark and a bit yucky outside, they also give the room a warm and friendly sort of feel.… Continue reading Card of the Week: The Candle in the Window

Card of the Week: The Autumn Squirrel
Now we’re in October, we’re definitely in Autumn. The leaves aren’t very golden at the moment, though, which is a bit of a shame. We have, though, had squirrels preparing for a winter sleep by fattening themselves on the suet bird-feeder we put out. It took the squirrels all of about two days to empty… Continue reading Card of the Week: The Autumn Squirrel
Card of the Week: Jellyfish
When I get a new crafting magazine, one of the first things I do is flick to the back to check out what’ll be in the next month’s edition. Mostly to see what the next free gift will be and whether I’m interested enough to make a note of the publication date. Sometimes I’m interested… Continue reading Card of the Week: Jellyfish
Card of the Week: A Hare-Raising Day
Despite the last-minute attempt by the weather to make us believe it’s still summer, temperatures are beginning to drop, mini-heatwaves notwithstanding. It’s beginning to become autumnal. The cherry tree is turning all sorts of shades of orange and red. And the hares, when they can be seen, are in the fields. Probably. Actually, I think… Continue reading Card of the Week: A Hare-Raising Day
Card of the Week: Time for Tea
Sometimes, the best thing to do is to have a tea-break. To sit down with a good cuppa, maybe a biscuit, and have a little break. The last month or so feels like it’s been a bit of a tea-break for Life Ever Crafting. It’ll continue through September, though I am hoping to get back… Continue reading Card of the Week: Time for Tea
Card of the Week: Swan Wedding
Summer is the time for weddings. The good weather – supposedly. The warmth. The long days for dancing into the night. Certainly, if the location is a cold stone church, better to be a summer than a winter wedding. Of course, the last year or so has been a difficult one for the wedding-industry, if… Continue reading Card of the Week: Swan Wedding
Card(s) of the Week: Eat, Drink and Be Rosemary
I’ve another double act of cards this week, a pair of herby cards. These used the Herb Garden stamp set from Simply Cards & Papercraft 214, plus the cocktail glass stamp from Simply Cards & Papercraft 212. I did have an idea, when I first saw the Herb Garden set (it also has dies) of… Continue reading Card(s) of the Week: Eat, Drink and Be Rosemary
Card(s) of the Week: The Owl and the Elephant
There are two cards this week, mainly because they're similar in style. When I made the black and white elephant card last month, I liked it so much I used one of the other stamps from the same Mindful Moments set from Creative Stamping 93 to make another such card. Well, two, because then I… Continue reading Card(s) of the Week: The Owl and the Elephant
Card of the Week: The Crafter’s Card
My card of this week is a more recent make, though with a stamp set I’ve had since Christmas and which I rushed out on Christmas Eve to find the magazine. It was also my first attempt at masking in general, and with a post-it in particular. The stamp set (Crafter’s Companion’s Crafting with Friends… Continue reading Card of the Week: The Crafter’s Card
Card of the Week: The Birthday Duck
Since the weekly craft seems to have turned into simply card-making, and since I’ve spent quite a lot of the last month making cards, I’ve decided to change this into a Card of the Week. There may still be the odd non-card craft project, but mostly it will be cards. Starting with this duck card.… Continue reading Card of the Week: The Birthday Duck
