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.

Hello friends. It’s time for our next challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and we’re back to colours this time round. Suzy’s given us a fab palette of autumn shades (although they’d work with floral and lots of other designs too).

Hello crafty friends. My goodness, it’s hot here in the South East of England! I spent the afternoon sweltering in my spare room on an online meeting (it felt like I was in a sauna!) and no wonder – when I got in the car to go and pick up a parcel the temperature gauge… Read More a quick landscape card
Hello crafty friends. I’ve had a fab (but tiring) couple of days with lots of friends from the Clarity Crafts community while I’ve been demonstrating at their Open Days – it’s just so good to catch up in person with social media friends!

Hello crafty friends. I’m still working through sharing my demos from last Friday’s Clarity Social TV, so here’s the small monarch butterfly using the stamp and the die set (but without the stand).
