Hello there! You won’t be surprised to hear that I did a bit of shopping at ClarityCrafts‘ Open Day on Saturday, so I thought I’d better start putting some of the goodies to use.

Hello crafty friends. I’ve been busy today making a few masculine cards ready for friends with birthdays that are coming up, so thought I’d share one of them today.

Hello there! It’s Sunday again so it’s back into Clarity’s Craft Club – this week I’m playing with the ‘nested doily mandala’ from June 2021. I’ve pulled three challenges together onto this card.

Hello crafty friends. I’ve swapped back to a current Stampin’ Up! set that I haven’t had out so far this year, the ‘framed florets’.

Lots of blog… Read More adorable owls
