Hello friends. Well, true to my word, here’s a card with the stencil from last month’s Clarity Craft Club and I’m afraid it’s another Christmas card! It was the obvious theme, given the ‘dotted Christmas tree’ design on the stencil, but I’ve gone a bit more grungy on this one thanks to the colours at… Read More Craft Club dotted Christmas tree stencil
Hello friends. I hope your Christmas celebrations have been filled with joy! We’ve had a family get-together today – so lovely to have 10 of us in the room, with lots of food & laughter. I’ve made a couple more cards to share with you that will be heading to friends with thanks for some… Read More blue ivy
Hello friends – here I am back with another Christmas card! It doesn’t seem to matter how many I make each year, I always have to pull a few last minute ones togther – and this year is no exception! I’ve gone back to ClarityCrafts‘ ‘floral frame – Merry Christmas’ stamp set, which was still… Read More another floral frame
Hello crafty friends. You may have noticed by now that I do like making Christmas cards with non-traditional colours and I thought the palette at Creative Colour would create a really interesting background for the trees from ClarityCrafts‘ ‘winter cabin reflection’ set with the layout from Atlantic Hearts and the ‘winter’ theme from Four Seasons.… Read More striped trees
Hello again!

I thought this week’s palette at Creative Colour was ideal for Christmas flowers, together with a… Read More Xmas flowers for Sparkles Challenge
Hello friends. Here I am with another take on the Christmas Windows stamp set from ClarityCrafts – this is the one I demo’d on the first YouTube show last Friday. It really picks up the lovely tones from this week’s Creative Colour challenge, and I probably don’t need to explain why I’m sharing it with… Read More shepherds window stamp
Hello again! I’m back with a second card today featuring a fab stamp set that’s available at half price in this weekend’s Crafting Celebration from ClarityCrafts – Barbara gate-crashed the end of my second show with Paul yesterday having just found a pile of the ‘winter cabin reflection’ stamps down in the factory, so it… Read More winter cabin reflection
Hello there! It’s time for our new theme at Alphabet Challenge and Dawn has given us N for Numbers. I decided to use this opportunity to get ahead of the game (for once…) and make my former mother-in-law’s birthday card – she’ll be 98 in a few weeks time! She’s housebound now, but is very… Read More N for Numbers at Alphabet Challenge
Hello friends. Barbara’s busy on TV today launching the next in ClarityCrafts abstract layout dies and partner stamps series, so I’ve taken a lookback to the die and ‘Just butterflies & bees’ stamps from April. I’ve pulled a couple of challenges together for this one, with the palette from Creative Colour and the butterflies &… Read More butterfly layout
Hello cratfy friends. It’s only just over a month to go to this year’s ClarityCrafts summer retreats, so I thought I’d better use up some more of the backgrounds we made last year – I’ve got half a folder of them still! I do love ‘Barbara’s star flower spray’ stamp set too (this one is… Read More star flower spray
