Hello everyone. Well, in honour of the heatwave here I’ve brought one of Clarity’s Hippie Chicks out to play – she’s suitably dressed in her crop top and shades! I used the layout from Freshly Made Sketches to show her off (although I moved the sentiment, having not checked properly before I stamped it!) This… Read More hippie chick
Hello crafty friends. Well, we’re halfway through June already and so it’s time for our latest challenge at Sparkles. This time round our theme is ‘fairytale or storybook’ and it gave me the perfect excuse to play with the Sprite Mini Poppets stamps again – I think Mabel and her little frog are one of… Read More Fairytale at Sparkles Challenge

Hello everyone and welcome to the first of today’s cards (there’s another one coming later).

I’ve also… Read More W for wings at Alphabet Challenge
Hello friends. I need to make some more new baby cards for boys (I think some of my friends have bought my stock for my new grandson!), so turned to Clarity Crafts‘ ‘adorable baby‘ stamp set inspired by a few current challenges. The layout is from Freshly Made Sketches, the colours from AAA Cards and… Read More It’s a boy
Hello friends & welcome to a look at the fab little stamp set from Clarity‘s January Craft Club.

I decided… Read More Clarity Craft Club – bear hugs stamp
Hello everyone – Sunday again and another cold day in the UK. Despite that, though, I saw a couple of bluetits in my garden this week – they may be an early sign of spring!
