Hello crafty friends. I’ve been having a quick play this evening after another day spent online in a work meeting – it’s so nice to step away from it all and just create something. Barbara Gray from Claritystamp was on The Craft Store today – I’ve just been watching her on catch-up and got inspired… Read More What is this life…
Welcome to my crafty blog, and a second post today (I’m really getting back into the blogging groove now!) It’s Sunday and so I’ve dipped back into Clarity’s new design club again, this time for the heron stamp from March 2017.

Let’s… Read More more masking!
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back in my comfortable place with today’s card and some stamping and ink blending, after yesterday’s adventure into vintage.
