Hello everyone. I’ve got a busy blog day today, starting this morning with our new challenge at Alphabet, where we’ve reached the letter O. Helen has given us a double theme this time round – we’re looking for Ovals and One-word sentiments. I took the opportunity to give Clarity’s new 5×5 Festive Leafy BOW-WOB papers… Read More O for Oval at Alphabet Challenge
Hello crafty friends! It is seriously H O T here in London (32 degrees C this afternoon!) and forecast to rise further at the weekend! It’s too hot to spend much time outside, so a good reason to stay indoors and craft (not that I’ve ever needed much of an excuse!) I finished off some… Read More circle of leaves
Hello friends. I’ve got a bit of a reflective card to share with you today for our new layout at CAS Colours & Sketches, as we said a sad farewell to our lovely disabled cat, Tom, last week.

Hello crafty friends. Here’s the last of my DT samples using the new ‘Abstract layout 5’ die from ClarityCrafts, this time using one of my favourite designer papers. I’m going to share it with Just Add Ink as I really thought it picked up the feel of their new moodboard. I started by cutting the… Read More serenity window
Welcome to my crafty blog and another die cut from Claritystamp. I’ve gone for paper piecing with this one, rather than ink blending – I love the way you can get such a different look with these aperture dies just by varying the technique. This card was inspired by the challenge photo at Fusion, and… Read More colourful birds
Welcome to my crafty blog. Something a bit different today – my son’s friend asked me to make a 60th birthday card for his father, who is a big fan of scooters and the Mod subculture. I’ve gone for a fairly iconic feel for this card, and hopefully captured the style. I started by making… Read More a mod at 60!
