Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m feeling happy with today’s card as I’ve used up another of the many inky mop-up backgrounds in my stash without making another one in the process! I’ve been trying to make a few more masculine cards recently, and Claritystamp’s ‘tree rows’ stamps give a more contemporary feel to a… Read More trees and sky
Welcome to my crafty blog. I needed a card for friends who are celebrating their wedding anniversary this weekend, and have fallen in love with the new ‘Artistically Inked’ set from Stampin’ Up! after doing an online class using it earlier this week with Joanne James.

Welcome to my crafty blog – it’s still really hot here so I thought it would be good to have a cooling walk through some trees, after sitting in my hot little spare room/office all day! I’ve gone back to one of my favourite images – the ‘treescape’ from Claritystamp – and have used both… Read More double treescape

Welcome to my crafty blog on another sweltering hot day here in the UK! I sat in the garden to eat my lunch, but got too hot so have come back indoors.

Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s the hottest day of the year so far here today, so I thought the ideal card would take me to the beach!

Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s time for a new theme over at The Alphabet Challenge and we’re now up to the letter ‘H’. This week Debbie has asked us to include ‘happy’ in the sentiment, and I decided that Julie Hickey’s alphabet dies would be perfect. Before picking up the dies, though, I started… Read More h is for happy
Welcome to my crafty blog and another nice and simple card. I’ve delved back into last year’s Clarity Craft Club dies for this one, using the ‘leafy aperture’ from July (#19). I thought it would work well with the inspiration photo from the current challenge at Inkspirational, which features a greenhouse. I started by embossing… Read More I thought about you
