Hello there and welcome to our new theme at Alphabet Challenge! Caz is in charge this time and she’s offered us a moodboard of colour to inspire us for the letter I.

Hello there. I’m back with another silhouette stamp set from ClarityCrafts, this time it’s ‘meadowdance’. I just love the joy in these dancing children – they’re ready for the school holidays, methinks! I was inspired for this one by the theme over at The Paper Players – the stamps definitely say ‘summer fun’ to me!… Read More summer fun
Hello crafty friends. I’ve gone all American a day early today, with a card for one of my US friends who lives over here.

Hello there. I’m carrying on with my latest Clarity Craft Club goodies, today with the ‘daisies’ stamp that arrived earlier this month. Sadly, I need a few sympathy cards (it’s that time of year!) and I thought the colours from The Paper Players would work for that. I’m also going to share it as another contribution to Colorful… Read More February daisies
Hello there! I realised I hadn’t shared this card that I demo’d on TV last month using the KISS ‘sunshine doodles’ stamps designed by Tina Cox for ClarityCrafts, so let’s put that right. It picks up the ‘pink’ theme from both Simply Clean & Simple and Colorful Options, together with the ‘love’ theme from The Paper Players… Read More sending love your way

Today it’s #99 the ‘box work stencil’ which, I have to be honest, hadn’t seen any ink until now! I was inspired by Jilly Clifton’s design on… Read More Clarity Craft Club lookback – box work stencil
Hello crafty friends. I’m still working through my design team samples from Sunday’s launch of ‘Tina’s retro stamps’ from ClarityCrafts, this time combining two of the sets, ‘retro candles’ & ‘retro stars’.
