Hi there Happy Monday. It’s Mini Makes Monday at Clarity, and Janice is in town to showcase her new “Quirky Quickies”. Sounds like a perfect plan for Mini Makes to me! They’re fabulous! I hope you can join her and Paul at 2pm today, and don’t forget to pop in the SHAC at 10 this morning – I’ve got a mini plan too!Love and Clarity Barb x x x
Hi there Big day today! We’re unveiling our brand-new Friends, Sisters & Angels collection. Our workshop guests in November were the first to meet them, and they were genuinely impressed. They very kindly kept our new idea under wraps until we were ready to share it with the world — thank you, dear friends. xxx We’ve developed something completely new and different, designed to give our friends, sisters, and angels (that’s you) many hours of creative joy. Allow me to…
Hi. 2nd December. Boy oh boy. Where did November go? Actually, where did 2025 go? Bonkers. I am feeling very achy today, hot and cold, headache etc. So I shall be staying out of everyone’s way, and dosing up on ginger, lemon and honey. This too shall pass. Day 2 of the Bip the Bear Hunt. How did you find the clue yesterday? Easy? Tricky? If you missed it, you can always catch up. All the clues and tips can…
Hi folks! Thanks for popping in! As promised this morning, a blog centred around those lovely new stamps Eileen and I came up with together. We had fun designing them! It’s all about the layering… Here they are, in all their glory: A4 Square stamp sets, plus their masks too. For your orientation, the longest blooms plus stems measure nearly 6 inches on this BIG BLOOMS SET. Also in A5 Square + Masks. FYI, the longest blooms plus stems measure…
Hi there Brand new this week! Fabulous new mini BOW-WOB papers. Perfect for Christmas card backgrounds and Gel Printing plate transfers! B E A U T I F U L. All made from photos I took in our garden. Click Here I launched these on Wednesday on Hobbymaker. Instant sell out! But we’ve printed more, and will be showing these off tomorrow on our Clarity TV Show 3-5pm. Black on White – White on Black. What could be simpler? It’s…
Hi there! It’s beginning to feel a bit like Christmas in my head. Only about 7 weeks before Grace and Mark come home! They’ve booked their flights, and they’re home for about a fortnight! I know they’re all grown up now, and they live thousands of miles away. But they’re still my kids, and I am still their Mum. And when the family gets together at Christmas, I so look forward to it! Remind me of that on Christmas Day,…
Hi there If I had to pick a set of stamps for my Desert Island stash, the 3-way overlay town houses would definitely feature. And if I could smuggle a die-cutting machine onto the island, and run an extra long extension cord to the beach, then the die would have to go in my carry-on luggage too! PLAYTIME!!!! I’ve dug out a Youtube tutorial that I did a while ago, which really does this stamp set justice. Very cool Christmas…
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! Jilly here. My turn to shine a light on a cool Clarity product today! I am really into journaling and mixed media myself, so I thought, while Barb’s away in the woods, I’d move the dial on the price of the Water Colour pads and Petite journals we sell! Just till she gets back 😂 😂. If you get the A4 pad, we’ll pop the petite journal in FREE. Offer will end Midnight Sunday. While the cat’s away, the…
