Get Happy – Get Groovi!!
Good morning!
Great to have your company again! The Clarity Virtual Open Days have been such fun so far. Now usually, it would all be over in the Hall. We would have packed everything up yesterday evening, and everybody would have been wending their merry way home last night or this morning if they had further to travel. But today, since it’s all virtual, since it’s all safe and online, we can keep it going! As soon as Grace wakes up in New York, she will fire up another series of fabulous projects by Linda, Tina and the arty team, and generally steer you in the direction of ideas and inspiration. I shall be posting multiple blogs too, with great projects and fun – not to mention giveaway prizes…
To celebrate the Open Days, we centred around the word HAPPY, and we introduced our HAPPY doodle design, to celebrate.
2 size stamps and an A5 Groovi Plate.
On Friday, I kicked off the celebration with the large stamp set
Yesterday Jilly reached for the smaller set, to provide you will a beautiful stampy project…
…and this morning our lovely Paul Church is joining in the celebrations with a HAPPY Groovi project. Lovely and simple – just perfect for ANYBODY. A complete beginner could handle this project easily. So if you’ve been sitting on the Groovi fence, and not sure where to dive in, now might be a perfect starting place – A HAPPY PLACE!
Take a piece of Toscana Parchment a die-cut the 2nd largest Picot Rectangle and then die-cut a piece of white card using the largest Picot Rectangle
Add in the double lines around the outside using the co-ordinating Groovi plate and then trace out “Happy” in the middle – the Light Panel really makes a difference!
All traced out and ready for some colour to be added
You now have options. You can remove the colour from the parchment using the eraser pencil, or you can add the colour over the top. I chose to add the colour over the top using the Perga Liner B pencils. This is the back
and this is the front. It looks rather arty/sketchy
If you use the Pergamano Blending Pen and the Dorso Oil, you can smooth out the colour. The “H” looks as if it has now be coloured with a pen and is nice and smooth
Once you have blended all the colour on the back. Use a 1 Needle Bold Tool on the Super Foam to pierce and add a Pergamano Brad
Finally mount onto a piece of matching Toscana 8×8 paper and then onto an 8×8 card blank
I called Paul this morning at 7am. He was already at work! That makes two of us. I was just talking to him about the day ahead, when Leanne turned up. Jilly will be there any minute too. What a team. We may not have been able to serve you in a hall this year, (look out 2021!), but we are certainly still hopping about !
Now let’s think about a lovely givelaway, to start the day. How would you like to win a large Lightwave bundle, complete with cover, perforating mat and Groovi grip?
All you need to do, to be in with a chance of winning this super prize, is finish this ere limerick! We do love a limerick, don’t we?!?
There once was a groover called Dwight

Let’s have some fun!

During the day

Which caused him to frown
So he purchased a “box of light!”

He didn’t have time to play
And didn’t want to give his wife a fright
One of my favourites from the SHAC Paul. Lovely card.
There once was a Groover called Dwight
Who preferred to craft at night
He Groovied and Shacered
But soon he was knackered
So he gave up and switched out the light.
Please leave me out of the draw Barbara, as I already have the large light wave, so I would rather leave it to others. Thanks for the great prize though. Hugs. Annette X

Wether it was pointed or a ball
A Lightwave what’s sorted his sight!

What a fabulous prize! I’m not a groover, but I’ll enjoy everyone else’s limericks, and I’m really loving being part of an away day at last. Seeing all the artwork is lovely and is making me feel very happy too.
There once was a groover called Dwight

And shopped till he dropped
Now he has a good night
As you always say Barbara this is a very creative bunch.
Not entering. Just wanted to say thanks to you for this virtual open day. Great fun.
It’s allowed those of us who for various reasons can’t get to the real thing to join in. THANK YOU.

In fine disco fashion,
He danced with a passion,
But the next day he never felt right!

With parchment and tool,
He felt such a fool
When in daylight it never looked right!

Who preferred to groovi at night
He couldn’t see a thing
Until he stumbled on line
And found a box full of light….
There was a Groover called Dwight
Who preferred to Groove at night..
On finding his eyesight too dim
Tossed his”Dame Ednas ”to the bin
And got a Lightwave to see him alright.
There once was a Groover called Dwight
Who preferred to Groove through the night
With Barb’s plates to guide him
And Scotch malt to imbibe in
By dawn he was high as a kite!
Hope the amendment to line 2 is allowed as it gives the limerick the correct number of ‘beats’.
There once was a groover called Dwight
Who preferred to groove at night…
He suddenly thought
More light must be sought
And from Clarity a light panel he bought.

And wished for a wave of bright light
Good luck everyone! X

This is no con
It’s easy to parch with bright light
Hi Barb,
What a fabulous prize for someone. I’m useless at limericks Ann as I already have a Lightwave , I’ll leave the competition to others. You will have your work cut out trying to find a winner! Love the Groovi project.
Love Alison xx
There once was a groover called Dwight
Who preferred to groove at night
The lighting was pitiful
His parchment grew fearful
So through his open window took flight
1.There once was a Groover called Dwight
Who preferred to Groovi at night
He gathered his plates and ever so soon
Groovi worked!! by the light of the moon!

There once was a Groover called Dwight
Who preferred to Groovi at night
He groovied around and quite soon he found
He could groove by the light of the moon!
There once was a groover called Dwight
Who preferred to groove at night…
He dreamed of a Lightwave
And creating an Art rave
Then awoke with the moon shining bright!
Limericks are not normally my forte, but this little ditty popped into my head, so I thought I’d share it:
There once was a groover called Dwight
Who preferred to groove at night
But when midsummer was bright
and dark turned to light
his Lightwave he did give away
There was once a Groover called Dwight
Who preferred to Groove at night
His wife stayed in bed
and he didn’t get fed
until he appeared at daylight.
Dwight yawned over his bacon
and said this has taken
much longer than I thought it would.
His wife gave a smile
and in a short while
gave him a lightwave – oh good!
I could go on but won’t bore you – I have both size light waves, wouldn’t be without them. The winner will not be disappointed .
Thank you for these three daysof fun, they have been a pleasure. Stay safe. 🍒🍒🍒
There once was a Grover called Dwight
Who preferred to groove at night.
He had nothing to prove
When he got in the groove
‘Cos the Lightwave and lines kept him right.
There once was a groover called Dwight
Who preferred to groove at night…
For hours and hours
He traced out those flowers
And coloured them when it was light
There once was a groover called Dwight
who preferred to groove at night.
He worked in his room
in the gathering gloom —
would a Lightwave have helped? It well might!
Thank you very much to all who have helped make this a fun weekend.
there once was a Groover called Dwight
Who preferred to groove by night
His picot was Dodgy
His embossing a fright
But by purchasing a light box his grooving took flight.
By the light a candle
On her broomstick handle
A new light box could save her sight
There once was a groover called Dwight
Who preferred to groove at night…
because he waved his tool
when the kids went to school
– and it is better kept out of sight
There once was a Groover called Dwight
Who preferred to Groove at night
He squinted and peered, his wife was afeared
She ordered a Lightwave and he re-appeared
And he’s now known as Dwight the light!
Three once was a groover called Dwight
Who preferred to groove at night
In his mind he took flight
and soared to some height
As you would when you’re grooving at night.
There once was a groover called Dwight,
Who preferred to groove at night,
He brings out his stash,
He’ll give anything a bash,
‘Cos it all fills his heart with delight.

But to colour it bright,
Was thankful he had a good light.

Daylight scenes can be fun
And he did like the sun
But his best ideas came from moonlight!
