Welceom to my crafty blog and a rainbow of flowers courtesy of the ‘fresh florals’ stamps & dies by Julie Hickey Designs.

Hello there. Well, after yesterday’s dip back into Clarity’s Craft Club I’ve come right up to date with their latest stencil from last month.

Hello crafty friends. Well, after a little detour over Christmas I’m back into my regular Sunday dip into back issues of Clarity’s Craft Club. Today it’s the ‘leafy stag’ die from October 2020.
