Hi there! Good of you to drop in! Thursday’s Blog is always Blue, right? So I thought I’d have another look at the sky. remember on Tuesday, we got our Clarity Cloud Mask out with our brushes and a few Distress pads? (sale ends midnight tomorrow). I notice that I am always drawn towards artwork which has dark skies with stars. So let’s have a play, shall we? The Wee Houses and Shops went down an absolute Storm when we…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Jetlagged of Kent here! You think your body-clock has adjusted back to normal, and then you sleep through the 6am alarm clock and wake up at 9am !! Unheard of! Ah well. I think the secret is not to fight it. I remember when the kids were nippers and we used to fly back and forth to California when we lived there, you could calculate a day for every hour’s time difference before they…
Hi there. After all the excitement about awards yesterday, I think it’s time to get grounded and do some pleasant artwork, eh. Looking out of the window and I see sky, lot’s of it. So let’s do a little cloud work, shall we? Just for fun, I’ll do this exercise thinking out loud, just so you know what goes on in this mad head of mine! Ready? Right. Where’s Theuva Card? That’s the best card. Which colours shall I use?…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Oh boy! Have we got good news again!! This little blog of ours did it again! Even on the International Platform this year, we got GOLD !!! Chuffed. Very chuffed. We got Silver for Best Rubber Stamp Range, which is great, and I got Silver for Favourite Craft Celebrity, which is very flattering. So what can I say? Thank you. Thank you for voting if you did, thank you to the Clarity Crew for…
Hi there. Good of you to pop in. Got snow? We had a dusting. Not enough to make a snowman, but sufficient to stay hidden under the featherbed till noon! Can’t remember the last time I had a Duvet Day! I feel like a new woman now!!! Finally dug out the Groovi Piece I started in LA. You remember, the one from Friday’s blog, where you guessed which word I had inserted. Well the word I had used was Ever…
Hello you! Thanks for popping in. Good job you’re not sitting on the sofa with me though; Oh my! Today’s the day both jet lag and the post-exhibition lurgy caught up with me. Trouble was I HAD to design and write up the new Groovi Club! Time is on the move, it’s already mid month and we lost the first half of January to TV and the CHA! So, my dear faithful friend Paul Church pitched up at 9am and we…
Hi there. Pull up a chair! It’s good to see that you’re here and you care. So Friday’s here, I can hear you cheer! And below is some art that I’d like to share. One day in LA at the CHA, nobody was giving me the time of day! I’d smile and chat – and they’d walk away. I’d chat and smile – and they’d run a mile! So there I stood with my Groovi Selection, and all I was feeling…
Hello everyone, Paul here. I thought that since Barbara and Dave were flying home today, I would takeover the blog and fill you in with what has been going on back here in good old blighty and what I have been upto since joining the Clarity Family. Firstly, apologies to all of the New Design Club members, unfortunately the January issue has been delayed and will go out towards the end of the month – but it will be worth…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. The show wrapped up yesterday for another year, so we broke it all down, packed it all up, and called it a day. All in all a very successful show. Very. More will be revealed… It’s our last day in California after the CHA. Our flight is this evening, but what to do all day?! The thing is, LA is so spread out. Dave flatly refused to haul 4 suitcases round Hollywood or Long Beach, (how…
Howdi! Last day of the California Trade Show, and oh boy! Did it get busy yesterday! Suddenly, loads of the connections we had been making since the start of the Expo started falling into place and coming together. It was brilliant! There’s a really dynamic young online team over here called Blitsy, who promote and do Craft flash sales. Smashing people, and so switched on! Well, they also happen to be Ken and Judy Petersen’s kids, who are our cool…
