Hello there! Thanks for popping by. Am having a lovely lovely time with Grace Who is just a bundle of fun and energy. I have to say, I almost bought tickets for Inky Boots! Ooh I thought! I wonder what that’s about! Until I realised the K. Seen it. Great film anyhow! Times Square. Even crazy at 10 in the morning. But don’t look up – it’ll make you dizzy…. And then you turn off the main drag, and boom!…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Something different today. So often I hear people say they would love to leave a comment, but don’t know how. It can be very frustrating. Some people struggle with their phones and their Ipads etc. But it’s all a lot easier than we think. Don’t look at me like that!!! If the wind turns…. So I thought let’s find some answers… Believe me when I tell you I only figured it out by pressing…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Just in time to try out the latest in snazzy Christmas attire! This Jumper Set was launched on TV on Sunday, but sold out before we could get to it, so I thought it merited a good airing. I love it! Jim designed the Jumper stamp set, and when Dee came up with stamping it on calico – well it just looks SO REAL!!! It even FEELS authentic! Just like the kind of jumper…
Hello there! Here we are in New York, and the weather is beautiful. Great time of year here. YouTube Tuesday is a wintery scene! Hope you like it. I did something similar in the New Design Club a few months ago, just more involved as I recall. If you haven’t heard of our Clarity Stencil and Stamps Clubs, do go and check it out on the website. www.claritystamp.co.uk/New-Design-Club If you enjoy what I do, you’ll love the monthly instalments and…
Hello there. Thanks for dropping in. I am actually on my way to New York today, just for a week, to see Grace, my lovely girl. But I didn’t want to abandon the blog for a week, so had a very busy few days, and prepared some nice things for the week ahead. Why don’t you let it go? I hear you say, Just for a week! But you see, it’s a challenge I set myself almost a year ago, …
Hello there! TV Day today. So I will have been hopping around since 5am, getting geared up for the show! One of the coolest sets on the TV show today is the brilliant Castle Set, designed by Jim. It really is so versatile, as the beautiful Design Team samples exemplify. Check them out on the website But let’s see what we can do here…. The stamp is super large. It needs to be, because of all the detail, the turrets and…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Saturday’s Blog a New Technique, right. Well here a mix of old and new. Like any Blog project, the secret is to pick what you like, and leave the rest behind. There’s something in everything for everyone – even if it’s to establish that it’s not your cuppa! If you watched You Tube Tuesday last week, with the shaving foam, you will have seen me smear the remnants of some shaving foam left on…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Friday’s blog a private peek, so today I thought I’d show you something pretty impressive… Remember ages ago – must have been just after Christmas – we had the discussion about our poinsettias. which had mostly shed their leaves, leaving rather barren looking sticks. Look familiar? Well, the question was whether we binned it, or put up with its sad-looking state, to see if it might turn the corner if we gave it light…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by on this Thursday’s blog is always blue blog day! I decided to use the lovely Lacy Swallows again. Apparently though, do NOT look up Lacey Swallows on Google! You may get some pretty birds, but I doubt they’ll be much good for stamping…. So without burying myself even further here, let’s crack on, shall we? So as I was saying, Large Lacy Swallow Small Lacy Swallow Here’s a blue background I made a while…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday’s blog is something new, so aren’t we happy that the new mini round ink blenders from Ranger arrived yesterday! together with their refills: I had a play straightaway, to see if they are as good as everybody says they are.. Verdict? Excellent. Much easier to use than the larger square version for going round the edges. So here’s a little project I rustled up, using the little sponge disks to great effect in…
