Hello crafty friends. Well I’ve stepped away from dies for a minute as we’ve got a new theme over at the Alphabet Challenge. We’re onto the letter T and Lynda has chosen ‘trees’ for this one.

Hello crafty friends. Unusually today I don’t have a card to share with you, instead I’ve made a gift wallet that one of my sons will be receiving with a nice surprise inside. It’s really easy to make and I was prompted to think of it by the current challenge at Just Add Ink. I… Read More Christmas gift wallet

I always avoided these kind of stamps in the past, as I found it difficult… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – labradors #124
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m feeling happy with today’s card as I’ve used up another of the many inky mop-up backgrounds in my stash without making another one in the process! I’ve been trying to make a few more masculine cards recently, and Claritystamp’s ‘tree rows’ stamps give a more contemporary feel to a… Read More trees and sky
Welcome to my crafty blog – it’s still really hot here so I thought it would be good to have a cooling walk through some trees, after sitting in my hot little spare room/office all day!
