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: 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 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
This Week in Crafts: Elegant Elephant
One of the advantages of switching back to birthday cards is getting to play with the stamps sets which arrived when I was coming to the end of the 20-21 Birthday Season and therefore didn’t have much need for them. But I really liked the sets, so I got them anyway. And then put them… Continue reading This Week in Crafts: Elegant Elephant
This Week in Crafts: Summer Butterflies
I can’t remember seeing many butterflies so far this year. Plenty of bees on the balcony, but not so many butterflies. Or in the park next door. There’s time for them to turn up, and perhaps they will, now the sun seems to have come out. In the meantime, at least I have plenty of… Continue reading This Week in Crafts: Summer Butterflies
This Week in Crafts: Seahorses
It’s been quite grey and dreary for the last few weeks, after the early promise of spring sunshine. Very disappointing. But never mind: dreary outside weather means more time trying to lift spirits by playing with all the colours and glitter of my craft room, for the last cards of the Birthday Season. I’m still… Continue reading This Week in Crafts: Seahorses
