Hello crafty friends. It’s time for a new theme over at Alphabet Challenge – we’re up to the letter O and Billie has opted for ‘outer space’! Now I don’t have any space themed supplies, but I remembered the ‘hearty crescent moon’ set from Clarity which I thought would fit the bill from a slightly… Read More Alphabet Challenge – o for outer space
Hello crfty frends. Sunday again, so here’s the next stamp from Clarity’s craft club last year – September’s ‘paisley’ image. I was looking at the inspiration photo at Inkspirational, and thought the paisley design would work on kraft card in place of the lace in the picture. I started by stamping the paisley pattern twice… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – paisley
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card uses a Claritystamp set that I’ve been meaning to get out again for some time – Tina’s doodle flowers. It’s got lots of little elements in it, and those birds are just so cute! I thought it would work well with the colours from the new challenge at Color Throwdown,… Read More happy birday!
Hello there! Bit of a late post today – I’ve had a brilliant afternoon with friends at a gardening fair (and got myself a few bargains as well!)

I’ve used three current challenges to create the design for this card. The layout takes… Read More Christmas poinsettia
Hello crafty friends. Well I’m back after a fab few days away with friends at the New Wine Christian conference – we weren’t anywhere near the sea, so I thought I’d compensate with this card inspired by the theme at AAA Cards which also picks up the left hand diagonal of yellow, blue & water… Read More in the sea
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card uses the ‘daisy blooms’ stamps from Julie Hickey Designs – I’ve gone for a coloured card base, which I don’t do very often, thanks to the new palette over at CAS Colours & Sketches. I’ve picked up the ‘green thumb’ theme from The Paper Players and ’emboss’ from Less is… Read More bloom
So it’s Sunday again and the next in my series travelling back through Claritystamp’s craft club. Today it’s the ‘hummingbird & blossom’ set from February 2021. I decided to go with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and the lovely colours from Color Throwdown. I also incorporated Inkspirational‘s theme of ‘precious’ – more about that… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – hummingbird & blossom
Hello there. Today’s card uses one of the new stamps I got at Claritystamp’s Open Day last weekend – the ‘linocut daisy’ set.
