Hello there – it’s time for this week’s new challenge at Just Us Girls, so here’s my third offering as their guest designer for May. I have to say I struggled with this one a bit – these shades are a bit out of my comfort zone! I decided to go with Claritystamp’s ‘linocut teasels’… Read More teasels
Hello there! Well it’s Sunday again so here’s my weekly dip back into Claritystamp’s monthy craft club. I’ve been working through the 2020 stamps in order over recent weeks, and today should have used the July stamp. I don’t know why, but I’d convinced myself this ‘gothic key’ (from September) was the next in the… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – gothic key
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card features one of the beautiful butterfly images from Claritystamp’s ‘Cherry Green’s butterflies & moths’ set, inspired by the photo over at Fusion – I just love the colours on those butterflies!

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m posting a bit earlier than usual today, as I’ve got a last minute entry for Color Hues – I really wasn’t sure whether I liked this paper from Stampin’ Up!’s ‘flowering fields’ set when I first saw it, but it’s perfect for their ‘purple & green’ challenge. I’ve teamed… Read More tulip happiness

I started by brushing ‘stormy sky’ Distress Oxide… Read More special day
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve had a lovely afternoon, crafting virtually with my sister – we are both in Claritystamp’s Craft Club so got busy with our March goodies. I love how we can both use the same stamp and yet come up with very different cards – read on for the one I… Read More keep growing, keep going

Hello there! I’m back with a masculine card today, using stamps, dies & papers from Julie Hickey Designs. I picked up the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and the colours from Color Throwdown – by happy coincidence, the ‘all weathered’ papers designed by Hazel Eaton for Julie had the three colours in them! I statred… Read More birthday wishes
Hello there. I’m back with another card using the new ‘daisy buttons’ stamnp set from Julie Hickey Designs. I’ve stepped it up a little from yesterday’s offering, but it’s still basically a CAS design.
