If Toucan, YOU can!!!!

If Toucan, YOU can!!!!

Hi there.
Thanks for popping in.

We are having a good day at Clarity today, 
finally finalising the pages of our first colouring book.
It all takes much longer than you think – especially when you are swanning around in Hawaii !

The book features our best and loveliest bird images,
including our superb Toucans, illustrated by Mel.

We have taken the birds and placed them 
in a wonderful tropical setting, all set to colour in.

Here are a few super stamped samples, 
created by members of the Clarity DT.

 Check this one out!!!
Jane cut out every single leaf!!!!

 In fact, there is such an abundance of fantastic artwork 
using these stamps!
Just look!!!
(That’s usually a good indication of the stamp’s versatility)

I hope you understand 
that I haven’t time to do a full blown step-by-step project today.
Well, I do, but this old colouring book of ours will NEVER get done…
Instead, let’s make all you stampers out there a great bloggy offer:
You can’t help noticing the fabulous Cheese plant leaves, 
wrapped around the toucans everywhere….
the leaves include 2 outline stamps and 2 fills.
Very clever.

This set of 5 stamps, including the Toucan mask,
 would usually retail at £19.99

So how about £14.99?
Bargain !!!!!
Add your Club Member Discount (10% or 15%)
and then it’s a real birdy bargain!!!

Offer ends next Tuesday.

Anyway,
I really must fly…..
Love and hugs,

Not done too much today, Neill and I are having a bit of a tidy-up day and throwing away all of that paper which seems to gather around you, or is that just us? Ha ha!

Have a lovely evening.
    Love Diane xxx

    1. Hello my lovely blog friends. I hope you have all had a good day today, weather here has been gorgeous again, great for getting the washing dry! It was nice to get out today and have a look around the shops for a while, we've decided on lunch out tomorrow at the local garden centre so I will be able to get the rest of my plants then – wonder what my 'assistant' will pick out to go in the pots, and will my 'assistant' actually help me to plant them!!! Sending hugs all round. Xxx
      Pam thinking of you sweetheart, sending you hugs xxx

    2. My assistant actually managed to tell the difference between bean and pea plants today – or rather he knew the peas weren't beans!!

    3. Hello Diane. Have a good day tomorrow picking your plants. It's lovely isn't it, when everything's planted up. Love and hugs xxx

  11. Lovely samples but my wish list is already too long as a light box is at the top! I love the titles you give the blog each day too, I don't know how you think of them xx

    Pam you are in my thoughts xx

    1. Chris I got the light box for my birthday, it's lovely. Hubby was very impressed with how light and thin it is and daughter has her beady eye on it too!! You will love it and it's worth saving up for xxx

  12. Another lovely post Barbara. I love those stamps. they'll have to go on my wish list as I received a lovely Clarity package today. I must save up for the Open Day!!! Love and Hugs xxx

  13. Hello all my lovely blog friends. It's been a gorgeous day today. All the tubs, window boxes and hanging baskets are now in place, the garden planted up with the annuals, so we're all ready for Summer.
    I hope you've all had a good day. Pam dear, special thoughts to you. Hi Dot and Alison, I've managed to miss you both for a couple of days, so I hope you are both fine. I noticed that you've been busy with your garden too Alison.
    Love and Hugs to you all xxx

    1. Hi Morag,
      Sounds like your garden is all ready. I love it when it's all set and then just watch it burst into flower( well hopefully!) Hope you're ok my friend, Love and hugs Alison xx

  14. Once again these samples are lovely. I was a busy bee today but managed to take some time out to watch Paul on catch up. Just watched the first show which was fab and I felt so relaxed whilst watching.

  15. Hi Barb,
    What a lovely post today. The samples are gorgeous and the offer fantastic. The colouring book sounds as though it's almost ready to roll out – looking forward to that. I received my plates from Sunday's shows today and can I say that I wasn't disappointed! Thank you and all the team for getting them out so quickly – I could t believe it when they landed on my mat this morning – brilliant!
    Love and hugs Alison xxx

    1. Hi to all my blog friends,
      Hope you've all had a good day. It has been beautiful up here today as Morag said. Picked up my hanging baskets today and Dave hung them up for me – they are too heavy for me. Really pleased with them and looking forward to watching them fill out. Had to do a bit of retail therapy as well up in Newcastle ( spending my birthday money) so that was good too. Sending love and hugs to you all especially Pam( thinking of you ) , love Alison xxx

    2. Evening Alison glad your wee shopping trip cheered you up just what you needed beautiful garden weather here to my lovely neighbours cut my big hedge today they are great gardiners and caring folk I'm so lucky to have them..xx

  16. Hi Barbara glad you've had a good day at work bet there is more to just drawing and getting a colouring book printed and published so that's a wee box nearly ticked. Glad it is featuring Clarity birds love them all.
    Thanks for the great bloggy offer the DT samples are beautiful well done to Jane must have took her forever.
    Take care..Dot..XX

  17. I was going to say good evening, but it's morning now I see ! birds are not my favourite topic but I can cope ! They're all pretty it's just the sound of the flapping and the feathers I have problems with ! THey do make lovely designs though.

    Hi everyone, we've had a great day at Newbury races and all of us won something, we had a result between us in every race and Roger, our friend, won 5 out of 7 races ! I caught the sun and you can even see where my necklace was, going to have to see if I can fill that bit in tomorrow ! Not burnt though so that's good. xxx

    1. Good to hear you enjoyed your day and won too!! Sounds like the day out you all needed. Haha don't you love it when you get the unexpected white bits! Enjoy filling them in 😀Xx

  18. Hi Barb, I am so looking forward to the Clarity colouring book, especially the bird theme. I love my toucans and cheese plant leaves, just wish I had more time to play with them. Thanks for sharing the fab examples. Bx
