Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with a second post today, to share this card made with my brand new ‘floral foliage’ set from Julie Hickey Designs that’s only just been launched.

Welcome to my crafty blog. A bit of a change from my usual style today – although not too far out of my comfort zone. I’ve gone for what Barbara Gray calls ‘clean grunge’, after watching the launch of Clarity’s new ‘grunge elements’ stamp sets on TV yesterday. I thought I’d have a go at… Read More ‘clean’ grunge!
Welcome to my craft blog. I decided to get my Claritystamp background stamps out today for another airing, after watching Barbara Gray earlier on selly telly.

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been doing a spot of crafty gardening today with this card – have to confess that I’m not a big gardener, although several of my friends are.

Let’s… Read More more masking!

I’d looked at a few cards online and thought it could work quite well with this week’s sketch layout over at The Paper… Read More hydrangea haven
Welcome to my crafty blog. Sundays mean another installment in my lookback through Claritystamp’s new design club, and today I’m using #91, the pocket stamp from May 2014. I went back to Barbara Gray’s project sheet for a bit of inspiration with this one, but then stepped it up a bit further (back copies of… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – pocket #91
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with the new ‘butterflies and moths’ stamps designed by Cherry Green for Claritystamp. Barbara Gray did a brilliant online step by step yesterday for the monthly Moment of Clarity, and I didn’t want to put them away afterwards!

Welcome to my crafty blog. I decided to have another play with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘a touch of ink’ set – I just love this little hummingbird.
