Welcome to my crafty blog, and another quick post after a busy day – clearly I’m not very good at this retirement lark! I’ve used Julie Hickey’s ‘florals for you’ stamp set today – I love the contemporary look of these flowers and they worked really well with some paper piecing. I started by just… Read More dotty florals

Welcome to my crafty blog. Another quick post today, as it’s very close to the deadline for one of this week’s challenges and I don’t want to miss it.

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with a second card today, inspired by Claritystamp’s very own Barbara Gray who hosted a ‘pyjama party’ yesterday evening as part of Clarity’s Open Day Festival (as we can’t all get together in person this year). Barbara did a fabulous card using the ‘butterfly wreath’ stamp set, and… Read More live life in colour

Under normal circumstances I’d have been down in Kent today at the Claritystamp Open Day, but our persistent friend Covid and it’s restrictions has put paid to that, so Clarity are having an online festival this weekend instead. I decided to have another play with the ‘riverside landscape reflection’ masks… Read More one day at a time
Welcome to my crafty blog and our new theme at the Alphabet Challenge. This time it’s the letter F, and Lynda has opted for ‘furry friends’ as the subject. This ‘birdhouse garden’ set from Claritystamp is one of my all-time favourites and I thought it was about time I got it out again. I’ve actually… Read More furry friends…?
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve got something a bit different to share with you today – I don’t normally leave my stamped images in black and white but I’ve used the challenge over at Global Design Project where this week’s project is to CASE (copy and selectively edit) the card designed by Emma. Part… Read More sending birthday wishes
