64 Days to go – SHAC Framers and a new November Calendar Craftalong Date!

Comments 5 Comments

Hi there Just a quickie, to shine a light on a collection of fabulous framers, that we doodled together in the SHAC. Do you remember? I recall drawing the autumnal corners as if it were yesterday….. Seasonal Framers. Didn’t we do well?? In fact, we took those sketches, those doodles, and turned them into stamps and Groovi design plates… Aren’t they gorgeous?? Look at just a few art samples, and – if you haven’t got them – you will want…

Hi there We’re in the middle of an irresistible Autumn Sale at Clarity, so we thought we’d add a little touch of newness to our offering! Jazz has designed these four smashing Festive Midi plates for us, and we think there’s no time like NOW to add them to our wonderful art collection. Yes, they’ve got a lovely seasonal sparkle — especially the Christmas verses — but the frames themselves will work beautifully all year round. Aren’t they lovely?! Louise…

Hi there The weather is certainly changing here in the South East of England. Much needed rain. We saw the huge lorries bringing water to fill up the local reservoirs last week, and we still have an official drought. Bonkers. I have to keep my thoughts in today; otherwise I get anxious. My job is to stay focussed on steering Clarity through the storm. These are uncertain times, and I for one benefit greatly from getting out of my head…

Hi there Remember when we drew a set of seasonal beauties in the SHAC? We worked off a download grid, which gave us our spacing. It’s still available, by the way! Circle by circle, pattern by pattern, we drew a brilliant mandala together. I took some photos as we went along… Then we drew a little basic tree scene in the centre. This we changed to fit the seasons. And voila! We made a very cool set of versatile stamps…

Hi there This year is absolutely flying by — and now we’re counting down the days to Christmas! Whose bright idea was that, I wonder?! I must say though, since we stopped pedalling non-stop for the Man at Create & Craft, our designs have really gone up a notch. The ideas seem to flow so much more freely now. Take this fabulous KISS (Keep It Simple Stamps) collection of Build-a-Wreath stamps that Jazz rustled up for us — our very…

Hi there When we get together in the SHAC on Youtube LIVE every Monday morning at 10am, we do doodle and draw a lot of different things together! Remember these beauties? I am particularly partial to these two baubles. Maybe it’s their simplicity, maybe it’s because I feel the SHAC energy. Sue has a card made with them on her wall, and I am drawn towards it every time I pop in her office. Did you know Sue has your…

Hi there Happy October 14th! Always a special day in our home – it’s Mum’s birthday. And so I shall meet up with brother Steve and Sheila, to take Mum for a nice lunch. We are so lucky – and we know it. She is 88 and going strong. Still runs her household like a well oiled machine, does all her own cooking and cleaning, laundry and ironing – and won’t have it any other way. She really is a…

Hi there. She’s back! Happy to fire up the SHAC bus this morning at 10. Let’s get together and finish up our Hopi Indian Kachinas together. Actually, let’s have a good old catch up, too. I’ll tell you all about what I did last week while we add a flash of colour and do a little shading… Then at 2, I thought it was a perfect day to bring out those Elementree stamp sets of ours. Absolutely LOVE these. The…
