Hello friends. It’s another hot weekend in London, so I’ve been staying indoors (another good excuse for crafting!) My poor potted plants are struggling in the heat, so I decided to create some healthier looking ones with Clarity’s stamp sets! I’ve combined the lovely palette from Creative Colour Challenges with a slightly stripped down interpretation… Read More pink potted plants
Hello crafty friends. I’ve got a busy DT day today, starting with our new theme at Alphabet Challenge, where Tee has given us G for Girlfriend.

Hello friends. It’s Tuesday again and time for our next challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches – Shannon has given us a lovely fresh colour palette to play with this time round.

Well, we’re into the last few hours of the Clarity Crafts Half Price Members’ Sale (it ends at midnight) and I thought I’d shine a spotlight onto a couple of stamp sets that I hadn’t previously thought of using together – the potted plants and the gardening set from the mini hobbies collection. To be… Read More indoor gardening
Hello friends! Well, it’s Monday again but, on the upside, the sun is forecast to be shining here all week and it’s the Clarity Summer Half Price Members’ Sale!

Hello crafty friends. I’ve got another card to share that I hadn’t posted for some time – this one’s got the fab little guardsman from Clarity’s royal gnomes stamp set.
