We’re back with a new challenge at Sparkles Challenges and Francesca has given us ‘January blues’ – rather appropriate, although to be honest we’ve had more grey than blue weather round here recently! Now, you know I love an inky background and I found the perfect one in my stash, which I’ve… Read More January blues at Sparkles Challenge
Hello crafty friends. I’ve gone for an old favourite image today that I haven’t used in ages – Clarity Crafts‘ ‘treescape‘ stamps. Although they’re a three-way overlay set, I’ve just used one of the stamps on this set, picking up the winter themes from AAA Birthday and Four Seasons, – the background works as well… Read More winter treescape
Hello there. Clarity Crafts have launched a great new initiative to help folk who’ve lost a bit of their crafting mojo, focusing on mini makes – keeping it small and beautiful.

This time round, though, I’ve created a little scene rather than a wreath and… Read More CAS Colours & Sketches 551 – colours

Hello again! Ist of January and here I am already with a second post, this time sharing our new challenge board at Christmas (or not) BINGO. There’s changes here too, as my bloggy friend Leslie has also stepped back from hosting this challenge too, but thankfully Becca has stepped into the breach.

Welcome to 2025! Can you believe we’re a quarter of the way through the 21st Century? I’m clearly getting old! Anyway, enough about that, we’re kicking off the new year with a new challenge at Love to Craft and a bit of a change. As always the theme is ‘anything goes’, but we’ve bid farewell… Read More Happy New Year at Love to Craft Challenge
Happy Happy Christmas Day everyone! Just a quick post today to spread good wishes with this card I made using ClarityCrafts ‘miniature nativity’ stamps and the ‘highland treescape’ mask set, using colours that reflect the Middle East. A quick rundown on my process – I laid the ‘highland treescape’ masks onto a small square of… Read More Christmas nativity
