Day 3 – August Arty Challenge – There Is Joy In The Making

Day 3 – August Arty Challenge – There Is Joy In The Making

Good morning! Today’s affirmation is one that feels especially close to my heart: There Is Joy in the Making. So often we focus on the finished piece – whether it’s a card, a painting or a parchment project – but the real magic happens in the making itself. Those quiet moments at your craft desk, choosing colours, adding little details and simply enjoying the process are what creativity is really about. It doesn’t matter if everything goes exactly to plan….

Day 2 – August Arty Challenge – I See Beauty In Ordinary Things

Day 2 – August Arty Challenge – I See Beauty In Ordinary Things

Happy Sunday! It’s so easy to rush through the day without really noticing what’s around us. This affirmation made me stop and think. There really is beauty in the ordinary – a weathered fence, the shape of a leaf, the texture of an old wall, even the way ink settles on paper. Today’s project is a reminder that you don’t need lots of fancy products or complicated techniques to make something lovely. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the ones that…

Floral ABC meets Entwined Framers…BIJOU!

Hi there I was looking at this week’s Clarity TV schedule, and up popped some of our lovely Bijou entwined wreaths and SHAC framers. Deborah Wheeler is playing with them tomorrow at 10am and 2pm.

Hi there Had a hankering to make a card this evening. No particular motive, except to calm my scrambled brain, distract my thoughts, focus my mind. Dad has been on my mind a lot today. I do miss him.

I found the little Japanese…

63 Days to go – Town Aperture Die Stamps and Groovi

63 Days to go – Town Aperture Die Stamps and Groovi

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…
