Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Up with the sky lark this morning. Restless night. So much to consider, to do, to think about. Our Queen’s death has had such a profound impact on so many, including myself. Speaking personally, I’ve never been one for crowds, even less so since COVID, so although we live very close to London, I choose to pay my respects to her good self and her family from a distance. Needed to get out of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I have spent the day cleaning, tidying, clearing out, pottering, listening to a brilliant book – and I feel so much better for it. Life has been so topsy turvy here for so long, a good old deep clean feels good. Whilst clearing a path through my SHAC artroom above the garage, I was thinking about all the new designs we’ve been rolling out and releasing during the past few months. So many really…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hands up who’s joining us this evening, for a little arty get together with Linda Williams and myself? As promised, we are having a Parchment Craftalong at 7pm tonight, on Facebook Live and our Claritystamp Youtube. If you purchased Linda’s Groovi Christmas Treasures collection No. 2 a couple of weeks ago, then you’ll have the plates to craftalong. And if you didn’t, well maybe you just fancy a little company this evening, in which…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. There’s never been a better day for getting a gratitude list going here! That’s a fact! When things are just piling in and nothing seems to be going to plan, then it’s time to stop, put the kettle on, find a piece of paper and a pen – and take the time to say thank you to the universe for everything that is GOOD in life. And boy do I have lots to be…
Hello there. Grace and Barb here. I hope this finds you safe and well. What a sad time it is. The Royal family has lost a cherished Mum, a Grandma and the Head of their family. We’ve lost our beautiful Queen, the most steadfast, constant leader in the world. We felt it only right to pay tribute to our Queen. It is certainly the end of an era, and whilst we welcome King Charles, we will always have Elizabeth in…
Hi everyone Paul here whilst Barb is on air with the amazing 3D Birds & Butterflies new die sets.

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Bit of a scramble here, ticking boxes, making sure we’ve remembered everything for our Big Birthday Bash up at Create & Craft , which starts this evening at 6pm. Paul and I are on our way at 10, so fingers crossed the traffic is kind. (Friday? M25?? What am I thinking?!?) We’ve given ourselves 8 hours to do a 2 and a half hour run – that should do! And guess who’s heading up…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Take 2. Let’s look again at the landscape we built out of one of the Scenescape Masks recently. This was yesterday’s blog, using the new Dandelion stamps… This time let’s use darling Ani’s flyaway boy – my absolute favourite stamp ever… Slightly different mask layout, different central image, different new Companion Paper, but also from the Waimea Falls Companion Paper book, and a wonderful script from the new Reflection stamps… Here is another step…
