Welcome to my crafty blog and a rare occasion when I share something that’s not a card, thanks to Just Add Ink‘s theme this week.

Welcome to my crafty blog and a first outing for the hot air balloon die from Claritystamp’s Craft Club last month. I thought it would work well with the layout from Atlantic Hearts and I added in the central column of outdoors, blue & water from TicTacToe‘s grid. I’m also going to share it with… Read More ballooning birthday
Hello there and welcome to another crafty blog. I’ve gone back to Claritystamp’s ‘riverside landscape’ masks for this card, which picks up the themes at Time Out and Festive Friday.

Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday, so I’m on to the next stamp in my lookback through the Claritystamp new design club – today it’s #92, the ‘row of trees’ from June 2014. I’ve used this one a few times over the years – I love its clean lines. I decided to use it… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – row of trees #92
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card was inspired by the upcoming RSPB ‘Big Garden Birdwatch’ which is happening in the UK next weekend. It’s an annual survey where we’re asked to spend an hour counting the birds we see in our garden. There’s a very helpful online pack you can get for it on… Read More Be still and listen…
Hello, and welcome to my little crafty blog. Thanks for dropping in. I’m sharing a birthday card I made for a friend’s father, which seemed an appropriate image as the UK government has announced this week that some of the lockdown restrictions have been eased.
