Welcome to my crafty blog. Here’s another Christmas card, inspired by a couple of this week’s challenges – Less Is More have declared it ‘Christmas in July’, and Just Add Ink have got a very festive inspiration photo. I decided to go with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘Peaceful Noel’ set (now retired), as I thought it would… Read More Noel
Welcome to my crafty blog. I treated myself to another new set of stamps, ‘Pretty Perennials’, that were reduced to half price by Stampin’ Up! as they are about to be retired. It’s such a pretty set I gave into temptation having recently done a class using them with Joanne James (aka The Crafty Owl).… Read More floral birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog. Another quick post today, as it’s very close to the deadline for one of this week’s challenges and I don’t want to miss it. I’m really pleased with how this card to congratulate a colleague who’s got a new role has turned out – and it just uses scraps/card offcuts… Read More well done
Welcome to my crafty blog and the next installment in my weekly lookback through Claritystamp’s new design club.

I’ve gone for a fairly iconic feel for this card, and hopefully captured the style. I started by making… Read More a mod at 60!
Welcome to my crafty blog. Just a quick post today – I’ve been out to lunch with friends on a glorious sunny day, including a walk along the seafront and an icecream. Life doesn’t get much better than that! Sadly, not everyone is in the same fortunate position and today’s card is one of encouragement… Read More floral thoughts
Welcome to my crafty blog. I made today’s card thinking about all those who are getting ready to graduate from university and moving on to new things. It uses a couple of stamp sets from Claritystamp – ‘dream’ from the feel good words sets, and one of the butterflies drawn by Cherry Green. I’ve combined… Read More dream big
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday and so time for the next in my lookback series through the Claritystamp new design club. Today it’s the flower stem from September 2014, and I’ve used it in a card with the colours from this week’s Just Add Ink challenge and the sketch & photo from Inspired… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – flower stem #95
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s time for another Sunday share from the Claritystamp new design club, and today it’s the ‘celtic knot’ from August 2014. I haven’t used this very much over the years, but it would be great for making a frame on a card, although I’ve just gone for a centre highlight… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – celtic knot #94
Welcome to my crafty blog. I decided we needed a bright and cheerful card today, as the weather here in London has not been great.
