Hello crafty friends – I’m back after being missing for a couple of days. Today’s card uses the summer set from ClarityCrafts‘ ‘Linda’s bijou children through the seasons’. It does seem odd to be sharing this in the freezing UK temperatures, and I’m not sure I’d want to be up in a hot air balloon just at… Read More go with the flow
So here we are on day 10 of my 12 Days of Clarity series, with the ‘O Christmas Tree’ stamp from last October’s Craft Club.

I feel a bit like I’m in one of those circus acts spinning lots of plates on poles (and some of them are getting a bit wobbly!!) Never mind, it will all be fine when the day arrives. I’ve started on my family… Read More Merry Christmas gnome
Hello again! Today’s card showcases the ‘christmas deer’ aperture round die, another goodie that’s currently in ClarityCrafts‘ Gray Friday sale.

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is a bit of a departure for me as I’ve used a digital image on it, but a friend wanted a birthday card making and I didn’t have a suitable stamp or die! What I have done, though, is utilised one of my favourite ClarityCrafts stencils – the… Read More vintage car
Hello there. I’ve been playing with lots of new products recently so decided it was time to dig back into my stash and find a stamp set I hadn’t used for some time – meet the ‘ginkgo spray’!
