Hi everyone. It’s been a sad few days in the Clarity crafts world, as we unexpectedly lost our dear friend Sarah Brennan last week. Sarah was a core member of the design team and known to so many in the Clarity community – she ran the ‘make and takes’ at the last few Open Days… Read More For Sarah
Hello crafty friends. I’ve got another Christmas card to share with you today, using the August Clarity Craft Club stamps for our new theme at Addicted to Stamps & More.

Hello friends. I’m back with another design using the Mini Japanese Scene Builder stamps on a CAS card of encouragement, this time sitting my little scene on one of the Landscape Backdrop Prints toppers. I selected one of the tags (or small toppers) that had the sort of colours I wanted and simply stamped the… Read More Peace & love tree
Hello crafty friends! I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend – I had a great day with the family and then have travelled down to the West country with friends today, to spend the next few days in Minehead in Somerset (and the sun’s shining!)
