Hi there Thanks for popping in. Snow here today. Just a light sprinkling. When I was a kid and it started to snow, my Mum would always tell me that God’s housekeeper, Frau Holle, was shaking out the featherbeds, the eiderdowns. “Frau Holle shüttelt die Betten aus.” Isn’t that a lovely notion? Stayed with me all my life. As soon as I see a slight flurry of snow in the air, Frau Holle is busy again. On Sunday we showcased…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Got caught up in art today, which is not a bad thing. Only downside is that I was supposed to be prepping for telly on Sunday, but got swept away with a Castle Mask and a lovely background Designer paper! It only takes a few of my favourite things to send me off on a tagent. And then, when I am in the job, when I am immersed in the process, there’s nothing for…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Up bright and early, and heading off to Mum and Dad’s for the day. But before I shoot the crow…. Our Gray Sale has gone mad again. I’m always very grateful to you when you turn up to shop during this sale – but this year even more so. I’m sure you understand. Many of you have taken advantage of our GRAY WEEKEND SALE by now, I know. And many of you have been…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Busy day today. Gearing up for our GRAY FRIDAY celebrations. We don’t do BLACK FRIDAY – sounds too dreary – WE DO GRAY FRIDAY!! And our little friends are waiting patiently too… You may remember that we have a week of Bloggy Blitz Sales in the lead up to GRAY FRIDAY. Here’s how it works… Each day we pick a product range, like ink pads and ink, mixed media supplies, Gel Press and paints…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Last day of the Pergamano Party today. At midnight tonight the wheels will stop turning, the sale will end – and all will be quiet again… But in the meantime, let’s keep going!! Grace has blogged loads of your fabulous art over on the Clarity Matters blog, and has been picking flowers for everyone! And I’d like to have one last little flowery giveaway over on this ’ere blog too, just cos I can!…
Hi there! Thanks for poppeting in. Oh boy! You liked Tina’s Mandalas then! Good grief! Paul is back on at 12 and 4 today. We’ve added more stock, both for the Groovi plates AND the stamps! Hope it lasts. In the meantime, continuing on with our Pergamano celebrations, I was chatting away to lovely Tina yesterday evening, in between sellout shows! She was über chuffed that her designs are so popular. It’s a huge endorsement, to have a big and…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Beautiful day today. Before I go off into the woods with Dave (Oi! Steady Eddy! Walking walking!), I just noticed that there is a HALF-PRICE sale on a selection of our Fresh Cut Dies – the Waxwings and Wrens are in there, which are delightful, and also the funky foliage, which is one of my faves. Oh! And the birds in a cherry tree! They are on sale in bundles of 3. Well worth…
Hi there. Haven’t played with a die for a while. Found this trap-the-scrap piece from one of our Fresh Cut Funky Foliage Leave & Trees Dies, and decided to turn it into a card for someone special. She likes a little bling, so here goes…. Trap the white card scrap from the die on a double-sided adhesive sheet. Then simply cover it in Gilding flakes. We sell lots of different colours – really nice! Use the yellow sponge to buff…
Hi there lovely peeps! What a weekend! Long, but fun! It has been great hustling back and forth across the ocean with Gracie, keeping these virtual Clarity Open Days going. She has done such a cracking job, as have our lovely DT friends, who have been posting and sharing, inspiring and entertaining. The cool thing about Gracie being 5 hours behind us is that she is still going strong, while I am winding down slowly. So more giveaways on the…
Greetings from the CLARITY SHAC-SHACK ! Thanks for popping in. I hope you are safe. We had our daily 9am conference call with some of the Clarity team earlier – the guys and gals who are helping keep the good ship Clarity afloat during this time. I have worked from home for many years, so this is nothing new to me. But for most of the team, working in isolation when you’re used to working across the desk from one…
