Hello everyone and welcome to the weekend! I’m off out with the family for a celebratory meal today, as it was my son’s partner’s birthday this week. She’s a cat lover (they have one black and a second white one), so Clarity’s Entwined Cats stamps were just perfect for her card, especially with one of… Read More entwined cats
Hello crafty friends. I had some time to play this afternoon and was inspired by Jilly from Clarity’s post on Barbara Gray’s blog (Barb’s taking a break at the moment) showcasing their watercolour pads. It reminded me that I made some watercolour backgrounds a couple of years ago that have been languishing in my stash… Read More it’s your birthday today
Hi everyone. I’ve had a fab (but tiring) day at Clarity’s summer crafting retreat, with more fun to come tomorrow. There are no spoilers here, though, as the workshops are being repeated on Wednesday & Thursday so, instead, I’ve got another of the 2024 retreat backgrounds to share with you. This one was made by… Read More backdrop background

Hello friends and welcome to a dip back into the Clarity archives with Tina’s retro stars stamp set – having looked back in this little blog, I last used these stamps at the beginning of last year! Although I think that probably says more about the quantity of my stash than a commentary on this… Read More retro star frame
Hello again! I’m back with a second post today, this time for our new theme of ‘spots or stripes’ at As You See It Challenge thanks to my teamie Jan – there are so many possibilities with this! I’ve used an offcut of a gel press print that I found in my folder from last… Read More spots or stripes at As You See It challenge
Welcome to Tuesday – the Easter break is over and normal life has resumed! I’ve put another die that I haven’t used for some time back into action today, Clarity’s funky foliage, using a bit of paper piecing to highlight the detail. I decided that the two tones from Color Dare would work to give… Read More funky foliage birthday
Hello friends. In case you thought I hadn’t got a Christmas card to share this week, here it is now! I’m delighted to have been invited along as Guest Designer for the new challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, although it definitely did give me a bit of a challenge as I don’t usually make… Read More Guest designer at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown
