Hello crafty friends and welcome to Seasonal Saturday. We’ve got a theme challenge this week at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and Valentina wants to see Christmas mailboxes (postboxes for us Brits!) on our cards. I remembered this fab little image from Linda’s Children Through the Seasons – Winter – she fits the bill perfectly! I… Read More Christmas mailbox at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown 26-39
Hello everyone. I’m sharing some green toned inspiration this evening, to tempt you in to the last few hours of Barbara’s Birthday sale (20% off all Clarity products), which ends at midnight tonight! I’ve had the fabulous Trees and Their Mantles set for some time and don’t use it nearly often enough – what’s great… Read More Trees are green…
Hello everyone. It’s a lovely sunny day here today, so the perfect time to share some more new stamps from Clarity Crafts, which Barbara will also have on her HobbyMaker TV show at 2pm today. Meet the Art Deco Special Day set which has some lovely sentiments in it. I paired them up with one… Read More Wishes for a lovely day
Hello crafty friends. I’ve been playing with another new Clarity product today – the Triangle Trees masks. These came out of one of Barbara’s SHAC (Safe, Happy & Creative) sessions when she was drawing them, and they make layering up the trees so easy. First, though, I needed to create a frame on a 6×6… Read More triangle trees

This first demo is also my design team… Read More H for home 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 crafty friends and welcome to Saturday’s post – another one of my samples that I hadn’t yet shared, this time using Millie the Dog stamps which Clarity produce for Janice Phillips’ Timestamp Creations. I’ve kept it very simple on this card thanks to one of the notecards from Sam’s Things to Do pack, which… Read More the best therapist
Hello crafty friends. I’ve got another of my samples from the recent launch of Clarity’s large SHAC people stamps and this time I went with a bit of paper piecing against an inky mop-up background. I’ve picked up the ‘summer vibes’ theme from Inspire.Create and the new ‘garden’ theme at Make My Monday to pull… Read More if I had a flower…
Hello everyone. I spent a happy hour earlier watching Barbara Gray on HobbyMaker TV putting Clarity’s build-a-wreath collection through their paces and I thought I’d have another play with the winter set – this time I have made a Christmas card with it though, after yesterday’s spring offering! Now you’ll know I love a kraft… Read More Christmas build-a-wreath
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Christmas card! I’ve travelled quite a distance from Japan for this one, landing up in the Nordic region with Clarity’s ‘feel gud gnomes & billboard‘ stamp set (do I need to translate the Gnomish…?!) I love these little chaps – brilliant for Christmas cards with a bit of… Read More Gud will
