Vacation, Vacation, Vacation
Hi everyone, Paul here and I have another picture to share with you from Barbara, Dave & Steve
Looks amazing!
and it fits in perfectly with the samples in today’s gallery.
So, since it is Friday and the sun is shining in this part of the UK, I think the mice should play whilst the cats away!
So here goes, all stamps in the Travel Section of the Clarity website have been reduced by 20% from now until midnight Monday!

I have been extra naughty and put together a mega-bundle

So, now I will pass you over to Barbara

Hello everyone, Barb here.
When I was going through the various pizza boxes, these just jumped out at me, I must have already been in the holiday mood.
I love what Lynne has done with this one.
Sometimes less is more.
Lynne Hammond
Highlighting the glass part of this one with colour, gives the card some focus. |

Pretty in pink, a typical Jane Telford!

I really like the way that Linda has used the bridge to link together the skylines and the words

A little bit of chic from Maria
Maria Simms |
I can’t remember who did this one, as the back was removed to put it onto the art boards

I am sure I will be enjoying my vacation when you are reading this.

Beautiful colours from Jo, warm and yet vibrant.

Great samples using some fun stamps so I might have to pop over and check out the sale! Xx
Hi bloggy friends! Its Friday YAY! Hope you are all OK today. Xx
OK Brenda and anyone else who wants to join in the colouring project, I thought a nice place to start would be the roses. There are four, two inside the heart and two in the bottom corners. How does that sound? Go grab your posh pencils!! Xx
Hi Donna, I'm just about to print mine off. When everyone who wants to join in is here we can have a wee vote on what colour our roses are going to be. Lets not be conventional – red is banned from the candidate list!!! xx
Depends whether it is to be vibrant and startling or peaceful and restful or even psychedelic and weird x
How about shades of yellow? Xx
Evening Shades of purple I will join in another day as not good today enjoy colouring and don't forget cushions for sale .night dear blog friends xx
Do we have peaches in the spectrum noir pencil range, anyone know? (You can tell I've used mine a lot, not!!!) Peach would be a nice colour? Or we could be brave and go for variegated, 2 different colours?
Hi Donna.
I've just printed mine off to fit onto a 6 x 6 card front. How does it work please?? Do we all use the same colours?? xxx
Variegated would be nice Brenda. xxx
Shades of purple would be nice, I had some of those in my birthday flowers. Not many peachy sheds. Xx
peach, cream, or yellow tinged with pink edges?
yes Morag we decide on a colour/s and then do our own interpretation using whatever colour/s we've decided on xx
That sounds very interesting. I still like the idea of two colours. Pink and purple might be nice. we have a beauty in the garden. Not that it'll be open for a good while yet.
Hi there all my lovely blog friends, sorry you aren't feeling too good Sheila, hope tomorrow is better for you.
I would love to join in but going away and dont think I'll have any internet. Will try to print off the heart, not as clever as Morag here and got hers printed for a 6" card, but I'll do what I can. Maybe I can catch up when I get home. There are some peaches in some of the Spectrum Noir pencil sets Brenda. Have a good weekend all of you, love and hugs Pam, love to all on the blog.xx
Hi Donna – I will have a go at printing off the heart tomorrow, and will join in too, if all goes ok. xx
Hi Donna got mine down loaded so am sorted and ok thanks to a wee pal a know you might know her she's a clever wee thing wi heart o gold, jist need to get some printer ink tomorrow and I'm sorted.
Liking shades o yellow but nae door broons noo and no got the posh ones so nae fancy colours but I'm still in…xx
Now who could that clever wee thing with the heart of gold be!!! Her name doesn't start with a 'B' and finishes with an 'A', with maybe a 'r' and a 'e' and a 'n' and a 'd' in between does it!!!! xxx
Fit's perfectly our Morag got it in one….xx
Ooooo does her name rhyme with render ?😉. Xx
Ok, either shades of pink/purple or cream/peach/yellow. I am going down the cream/peach/yellow route. Happy colouring everyone. Xx
Stop it you lot! You're embarrassing me. Just happy I could help. It's good to share and help, gives me a good feeling and makes me feel I have a bit of worth on this planet 🙂 xx
It's cream or peach or yellow with a pink edging Donna. Dot thought yellow, Sheila purple, Morag said purple too, you said yellow. So what about yellows, with a purple edging round the petals. That should keep everyone happy?
Sounds good, OK I will get to it tomorrow. Excited to be doing another joint project. Xx
Ok everyone, yellows with a purple edging it is then. Hope Chris is ok with that, she didn't give a colour suggestion. We need to say when we've all done the 4 roses, and then we decide on the next bit. Happy colouring everyone xx p.s. hope everyone is happy with the colour choice
I'm happy with that. Treated myself to a set of 60 posh crayons recently so colours will be no problem xx
Happy colouring, I like the sound of yellow/ purple roses. I'm going to join in a bit later on, printer not playing ball at the moment. Donna I've got one rose out in the garden this week – it's a lovely bright pink ! Xxx

Ah vacations are so fun. Paul schedule yours.
Naughty naughty Paul but much appreciated. Today's cards are fantastic, such a talented bunch of ladies. xx
Hi Paul, one extreme to the other, yesterday you were being too honest, and today you're trying to bankrupt your boss!!!!! Only kidding! Very generous of you, especially considering all the 20%s will be coming out of your wages when Barbara and Dave get back!!!! 😉
Lovely photo again. But still not jealous, well maybe creeping a little closer to being!!!!
Lovely samples again too, very summer, unless you live in Scotland that is!!!! I think my favourites are (in no particular order!!!!) Jo's, Saz's and Maria's. I think Maria has been stamp kissing in hers? Must try that wee trick, very effective.
Thanks for posting Paul. Hope you have a good weekend.
Love Brenda xx
Hi everyone
Hi Brenda. Sending big hugs to you. I'm off to my bed, haven't slept for three nights now, so I doubt whether I'll be at the campfire tonight. You can maybe sing a lullaby..just in case I wake and need to get back off to sleep!!! Love and Hugs xxx

Hello Paul – enjoying the pictures. quick question – Barbara said you were on Hochanda on Sunday. I cannot see any programme with you. Is it another day?
Any out there know what date Paul is on?
Love to Paul and all the bloggers. Have a good weekend
Anne (Reading)
Hi Anne according to the Clarity website, Paul is on Hochanda on 5th June 14.00 – 15.00, usually Paul does,at least 2 sessions so don't know if this is correct, it could change by then.xx
Hi Anne. Hope you have a good weekend too.xxx
Hi Paul – we did think that you would get up to 'no good' whilst 'the boss' is away!! Thanks for keeping the blog on track and another great photo from the globe trotters! Gilly x
Hi to all of my lovely blog friends – hope that you have all had a good day. We managed to go out to do a bit of shopping today, and snoozed later on this afternoon. Still being good and taking things very easy! Hoping to get the heart printed off tomorrow – so that I can join in! Love and hugs Gilly xxx
Hi Gilly, I'm very pleased to hear that you're both being sensible!! This 'heart' colouring sounds fun doesn't it. This will be the first time I've done this, so it's going to be very interesting too. Take care my friend . Love and Hugs xxx
Thanks Morag – I'm hoping to be able to download the 'heart' tomorrow. It will be a first for me too! Love and hugs back xxx
First for me to just follow Brenda from yesterday work's a treat or if no she will help yi go on ….cxx
Hi Gilly good to hear you are both behaving. Take care xxx
Lovely art work and lovely picture from Barbara, I'll be having a mooch at the sale stamps in a minute. I received my sale parcel today but I haven't even had a chance to open it yet.
Thank you to all of you blogites for the kind comments yesterday regarding my daughter's boyfriend. He had a MRI scan today but we haven't heard how he got on yet. He had his four wisdom teeth taken out in the morning, had the scan in the afternoon by which time the anaesthetic had worn of and he passed out. Poor boy has had a rotten day.
Ah bless him Julia! My heart goes out to him (and you and your daughter) – I really hope that the result of the MRI scan is a good one. Pleased pass on our best wishes – hugs Gilly x
Oh dear, that was a lot for one day poor soul. Hope the results of the MRI scan will be good news Julia, you certainly all deserve it. Love and hugs,Pam xx
What a terrible ordeal for him Julia. It's not surprising he passed out. It doesn't bear thinking about, what he must be feeling. I do hope he gets some positive results. Love to you all. xxx
Hi Julia my thought's are with you and your Daughter's friend..XX
Hi Julia poor young lad, I hope he gets the results soon so he knows what he's dealing with. Sending hugs xx

Hi Paul, well you have been naughty, but what a super deal, I think I may just have to take up this offer, as I love all the samples. Love the pic from Barb and the guys. Beautiful scene. Have a great day everyone. Bx
In my head I'm sitting under a palm tree with my feet up! Actually it's pouring with rain, a rumble of thunder for good measure, and I'm thinking I probably need the heating on and a cardi…but my gold envelope arrived today, so that will cheer me up. x
It has only just stopped raining here but I am happy because my club envelope arrived too. Time to get the paint out xx
