Hello there! Friday’s blog is a private peek, but I also want to show you some simple close up shading with the new Wheelie Stencils. So first of all, let me ask you: Do you believe in miracles? Here’s one! You may recall at Christmas, we had a long discussion about our Poinsettias. All lovely and red and bushy throughout Christmas, and then, within a week of New Years, stalks. Leafless sticks. Here’s a pic of mine; there were still…

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by today. It’s  CLARITY YOU TUBE TUESDAY! You may recall (I will never forget) that last week, we launched You Tube Tuesday. There was some hilarity and a mild meltdown, whilst I struggled to  get revved up, but I would say that this week is much improved! Amazing what a couple of new cameras and personal focus can do! The video is longer, too. We decided to keep it in real time, and not speed…

Well, my friend Paul Church sent in a sample this week which just blew me away. It was created using torn strips of masking tape to make fields. Absolutely…

Happy Sunday to you! Thanks for stopping by. I’m on TV this morning, 9-11 Create & Craft, so let’s keep this blog short and sweet.

I designed these little box montages years ago, but they do work well for little notelets, birthday cards, weddings, bonbonnieres – all sorts! And the Corner text stamp is another clever one.  I’ll show you how to…
