Here I am back with another of the new Sprite Poppets stamps from ClarityCrafts – it’s Mandy, who you’ve met before, but this time she’s mini sized!

Hello crafty friends – I’m back after being missing for a couple of days. Today’s card uses the summer set from ClarityCrafts‘ ‘Linda’s bijou children through the seasons’. It does seem odd to be sharing this in the freezing UK temperatures, and I’m not sure I’d want to be up in a hot air balloon just at… Read More go with the flow
