Hi there Tomorrow at 10am, I’ll be back on Clarity TV to continue our 32nd Clarity Birthday celebrations! It’s been a fantastic first week—the Clarity Street Collection and Mr Painter stamp sets were a real hit. Now I’d love you to join me as I launch my latest online workshop: Alcohol on a Gel Plate. As you can see from the front cover of the course booklet, we’ll be spending a whole day together, with a nice lunch break in…
Hi there Can you believe it’s been 32 years since Clarity was born in Santa Barbara? Where on earth does the time go?! That’s pretty much half my life – and it’s literally all of Grace and Mark’s lives! Truth is, they’re the reason Clarity exists in the first place. I wanted to work from home, to be there when they went off to school and when they came back. Back then, “working from home” wasn’t really a thing—unless you…
Hi there Life turns on a sixpence, as my Dad always used to say. One minute you’re all set and ready to go live on HobbyMaker TV, just about to get your best top on and put your lippy on. The next, you feel like somebody’s punched you really REALLY hard in the sternum, you’re seeing stars, and you have to lie down on the floor before you fall down. That’s what happened Wednesday. Two things to add to the…
Hi there, That’s it! Clarity Retreat Week is over for another year. I would say that both my inky, painty workshops during last week and Linda Williams’ Groovi parchment weekend were very well received, and that participants got a lot out of them. We always put a great deal of thought and prep into these events, and it certainly feels appreciated. Even the little touches, like fresh flowers on the ‘lunch tables‘, put a smile on faces. I forgot to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Before I head over to work, to set up for this afternoon, how about a quick blog, to map out today’s Clarity TV show flow at 3pm? I still have to find a few bits and bobs, but thought it would be good just to blog the journey we’ve been on with this Landscape Art… It all started with these tea-bag, tea infusion papers. Remember these? Well, I used them to develop a Landscape…
Hi there The Clarity Members’ HALF PRICE SUMMER SALE is in full flow. A little earlier than usual this year, but with good reason. If you aren’t a Club Member, then NOW might be a great time to investigate. You certainly do get a lot of bang for your back – in addition to the Bumper Members Only sales twice a year! In fact, the clubs are firmly rooted in super monthly crafting projects and learning. CLICK HERE. On that…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just in case you missed the 2pm Clarity TV today…. Here’s something new that might really help you with your card-making and artwork. You know when you want to just grab some me-time, but you have neither the time nor the headspace to “start from scratch”? Well, here’s a really neat, artistic solution… I have designed a whole load of beautiful, subtle landscape background prints for you, all ready to be filled. I did…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Thought I’d write a quick blog to shine a light on tomorrow’s Clarity Social TV show on Facebook LIVE. 3-5pm. We are very excited to be launching a trio of rather special and clever new dies. I haven’t seen any thing like these anywhere else, and we think they’re a real game changer. Countryside, Lighthouse & Viaduct Collage Dies Hang on! I hear you say. They look familiar! Didn’t we do a couple of…
Hi there If you watched our Clarity TV today at 10 and 2, then you will have seen us lauding the praises of our Sam’s fabulous Mixed Media papers. They really work well with the new Landscape masks. Look! You can get three whole sets for less than a tenner, plus club discount. HERE I found a particularly effective little section of one sheet, which worked a Tree-t with the masks. Here’s a photo step-by-step… Add a little pink around…
Hi there Just got off the phone to our friend, Janice Phillips. She’s wending her way down to Kent this evening, in readiness for the launch of her beautiful BEAUTIFUL photo stamps on Clarity Social TV tomorrow at 10am. We’re calling them her Timestamp Collection. I have been playing for hours! We’ve also been busy printing postcards. Simply perfect… The thing about these images, is that they work so so well with so so many different backgrounds. Whether you want…
