Hello friends! We’ve been enjoying the sunshine here today – it’s been beautifully warm and the birds have been singing away!

Welcome to Tuesday – the Easter break is over and normal life has resumed! I’ve put another die that I haven’t used for some time back into action today, Clarity’s funky foliage, using a bit of paper piecing to highlight the detail. I decided that the two tones from Color Dare would work to give… Read More funky foliage birthday
Hello there. I thought I’d do something different today having put the new Japanese sampler stamps away – Clarity Crafts have made March their Japanese month, so I fished out the ‘peace square‘ aperture framer die with it’s beautiful waterlilies pattern.

Well the sunshine is back here today, so I thought I’d share some summery flowers with you, using another of the new silhouette images from ClarityCrafts – these daisies are in the ‘just flowers silhouette frames’ set. I’ve teamed them up with a piece of Clarity’s Waimea Falls designer paper, which picks up the two… Read More daisy, daisy
Hello there. It’s a beautiful sunny Sunday here and I’ve been catching a bit of the Olympics coverage, but this card is in homage to another major news item from this week – the devastating wildfire in Jasper, Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies.
