Distractions are good!

Posted on March 20, 2020 by Scrappy Canuck

It is a crazy time right now! There is no other way to look at it. But for me, escaping into something that hasn’t profoundly changed in the last 4 weeks is a welcome distraction – one that I thought I would share with you too. What is this distraction? Well, crafting of course! And what better way to escape for a bit than checking out the new Spring edition of Scrapbook and Cards Today!

A Doodlebugging we will go!

Posted on December 29, 2016 by Scrappy Canuck

If you have ever been here to ScrappyCanuck Studios, you will know that I am a huge fan of Doodlebug Designs Inc. I use their paper and products A LOT! In fact when I am colouring up images, it is almost exclusively to match Doodlebug product. The truth is that, while I almost always wear black, I almost always craft in colour – bright colours, happy colours! And let’s face it – no one does bright, happy colours like Doodlebug!

So this year, I decided to bite the bullet and apply for their design team. It’s always a hard thing for me to do because I have to admit that I am not a huge risk taker. But I figured that, if nothing else, it would help me share with them how much I appreciate their products and how much fun it adds to my crafty life. So, I took the risk…

…and it paid off! So this year, look for even more fun projects with Doodlebug products! I can’t wait to get started and to work with these talented crafters!

Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to come on over to the Doodlebug blog today!

Gratitude and a giveaway

Posted on November 25, 2014 by Scrappy Canuck

Last month, we celebrated Thanksgiving up here in Canada, but it is never a bad time to think about the things we are grateful for, and to give thanks for our many blessings! Today, the Tiddly Inks challenge is all about gratitude and joyfulness, and I couldn’t think of a better challenge to be a part of!

I love this theme! I decided to work with a digi called Minnie’s Christmas Lights mostly because this image makes me smile and think of my two little gals!

During the Christmas season, there are usually lots of times when someone goes out of their way to help, so I thought that a Christmas themed thank-you card would be in order. The image was coloured up with copics (Skin – E00, E11, E13; Hair – YR31, E11, E34; Dress: C1, C3) and the sentiment was hand lettered.

Speaking of hand lettered sentiments, I have a bit of a surprise for you today too! Often times readers comment on the hand written sentiments that I include on many of my cards. Today, I have teamed up with Christy at Tiddly Inks on a little giveaway. If you pop on over to the blog, you might just find a little digital file to download. In fact, I think you will find a couple – one from the uber talent Christy and a little one from me too! Oh, and later this week, I’ll share a little card that I used with the sentiment!

Have an awesome day and thanks for stopping by!

What a team!

Posted on September 24, 2014 by Scrappy Canuck

Happy Wednesday everyone! I am so very excited to share a new project with you today featuring some beautiful product from May Arts and Authentique! This whole week, design team members from both companies have been sharing some beautiful projects using Authentique’s Harmony collection together with a variety of ribbon from May Arts.

As part of the products, I received the card making stack, and I knew immediately I could have some fun with those. I decided to team them up with some of my favourite 3/4″ chevron twill ribbon in yellow to create some small journals! By using some embroidery thread to attach some pages, creating these journals was even easier than putting together a card. I had so much fun I ended up making three!

So there you have it – some fun little notebooks to capture those little thoughts or moments! I can’t wait to see what the other gals have up their sleeves today too! And you will want to check them out and leave a message because Authentique and May Arts have put together three packages to give away to some lucky people who take a moment to comment! We always love hearing what you think, and it’s always better when there is a prize, or two, or three!
