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 crafty friends! I’ve been playing again with the sunflowers from Claritystamp – it’s a great little set and the Clarity team are donating 50% of the proceeds from their sale to the British Red Cross in aid of Ukraine. I’ve used the inspiration card over at Global Design Project for this one, picking up… Read More sunflower pattern
Hello crafty friends. It’s time for another letter at the Alphabet Challenge – we’re up to Z and Caz has challenged us to use ‘zigzags’ on our creations.

They are so like our two cats, Tom & Benji, who are… Read More comfy cats

I’m… Read More daffodil friends – at 500!
Hello crafty friends. I’ve been making a few more Valentine’s cards and decided to go for a bit of a different look with this one. Black & white isn’t the usual colour scheme for a Valentine’s card, but I was inspired by the chalkboard photo over at Fusion, which I’ve teamed with the layout from… Read More love you more than…
