Welcome to my craft blog and our new theme at Sparkles challenges. I’m in my happy place with this one, as Helen has chose CAS (clean and simple) for this month.

Hello crafty friends. I’m back in my comfort zone today with plenty of stamping on this card (and a couple of masks, though!)

Hello crafty friends. I’ve been playing with one of my favourite Clarity dies today – the ‘deerscape’. It’s great for masculine cards – I’d usually cut the die into black or dark brown card, but went with a kraft version this time inspired by the colours in The Card Concept‘s photo (the plants also made… Read More deerscape birthday
