Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s Christmas card uses the stockings stamp set, one of Claritystamp’s ‘Christmas rounds’. I’ve gone for a slightly less traditional colour scheme on this card with the grey, but I rather like it. I took inspiration from three current challenges – the photo over at Just Add Ink, the layout… Read More Christmas stockings
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another Christmas card, this time using a couple of Clarity stamps that I’ve had for years (from back when they came pre-mounted onto Clarity’s curved handles). They have several of these framer word stamps, although I’m not sure that this is still available. I might have got a bit… Read More nativity joy
Welcome to my crafty blog and another Christmas card. This one uses the retired ‘Festival of Trees’ set from Stampin’ Up! – a standard favourite of mine. I’ve teamed it with a sentiment from the new ‘Stars are Shining’ set and taken inspiration from the photo at Inkspirational – I don’t have any fox stamps,… Read More celebrate the wonder
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is for my son’s birthday – although he’s now in his thirties, he was obsessed with dinosaurs when he was small so I just couldn’t resist going for a card that I’ve based on the Jurassic Park films logo, using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘no bones about it’ set. I’ve… Read More a Jurassic birthday!

I’m back in harness now after a week away staying in a Welsh farm cottage with nursing friends – we’ve celebrated 41 years this week since we all first met in London as baby student nurses! We’ve got a new challenge today at Alphabet Challenge and I’m thrilled to be… Read More L is for leaves
Welcome to my crafty blog, and a very simple card today with this happy little bee from Claritystamp (I know you can’t see his face but he is smiling!). I’ve teamed him with stamps from the ‘happy grunge elements’ set – although I’m with Barbara Gray in that I can only do ‘clean’ grunge! I… Read More a happy bee
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday so time for another dip back into Claritystamp’s new design club – this time it’s the ‘follow your dreams’ stamp from August 2015. I’ve combined it with the ‘fly away’ stamp set (I love the energy in the boy taking off into the sky). I started by cutting… Read More claritystamp new design club lookback – follow your dreams #106
Welcome to my crafty blog – I’m back after a couple of days offline. Life got very busy and I just ran out of steam, but I’ve managed to have a lovely afternoon making cards with a friend so all is now good in my crafty world! I decided to make another early Christmas card… Read More holly joy
Welcome to my crafty blog and another nice and simple card. I’ve delved back into last year’s Clarity Craft Club dies for this one, using the ‘leafy aperture’ from July (#19). I thought it would work well with the inspiration photo from the current challenge at Inkspirational, which features a greenhouse. I started by embossing… Read More I thought about you
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card resurrects a few things that have been in my stash for some time – it’s always good to get more use out of sets I’ve had for a while. I started with the large ‘happy birthday’ die from Memory Box – this is such a useful one. I… Read More birthday boat
