Hello there. Well, it’s Sunday again so I’ve gone back into my Caritystamp Craft Club goodies and today am using the ‘keep it simple’ stamp from April 2021. This is such a great image – it works for lots of occasions & I’ve used it quite a few times over the last year. I decided… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – keep it simple
Hello again! A second card today – this one is for a friend to send her 3 year old grandson who’s a big fan of construction vehicles! I got a new set of stamps & dies for this one, ‘farming fun’ by Newton’s Nook, which are just brilliant. I took the layout from CAS Colours… Read More birthday digger
I’m back with a second card today, as we’ve also got a new theme over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges. Claudia is hosting and wants to see our shaker cards.

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 crafty friends. I’ve had a great afternoon at a craft class with Marion Emberson from Sugar & Spice – you’ll be seeing evidence of that class over the coming days, I’m sure, but in the meantime I went back to Stampin’ Up!’s ‘pansy’ dies for today’s card. I’ve taken the sketch from Atlantic Hearts… Read More pansies
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m thrilled to say this is my first design team card for the Love to Craft challenge blog, hosted by my bloggy friend Leslie!

Hello crafty friends. It’s proving to be a busy old week and I didn’t manage to post a card yesterday for the first time this year! I’m back today, though, with a beach themed card using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘friends are like seashells’ collection. I thought of this as soon as I saw the inspiration photo… Read More seashell friends
