Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Busy gearing up for the SHAC SHAC Birthday this weekend! Actually, the celebration starts at midnight tonight – when our Mammoth Birthday Event kicks off with a 20% Blanket Sale across pretty much everything on the website (except products released in the past month). And since we’re celebrating the SHAC SHAC, that 20% is increased to 30% on Stamps and Groovi in the SHAC SHOP! Add your Clarity Club Discount to that, and you’re…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I just stepped out of the SHAC (AKA my artroom above the garage), and there, sitting outside the door on the little mat, were both Ragnar and Erik, waiting for me. The neighbour (AKA IB or NB) has been drilling, chain sawing, hammering and making such a commotion all morning, that the cats are clearly frightened. As I mentioned in the SHAC this morning, I hadn’t realised how uptight the racket had made ME…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. March 23rd. Always been a big day in my life – well at least for the last 31 years. It’s Grace’s birthday, you see. So thirty-one years ago today, I was just coming round after an emergency C-Section, to the news that I had given birth to a beautiful baby girl. Miracle baby numero uno! Grace by name, Grace by nature. Happy Birthday dear Gracie!!! One year ago today, the country went into a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been a good day today. Set off to Venice in the SHAC Shack Bus, and started drawing a very cool Venetian Mask. We’ve made a digi download of the mask shape, just in case you’re struggling with it. I shall make sure it’s easy for you to find on the front of the Clarity Website tomorrow morning xx in plenty of time for Wednesday 10am, when we mask up again and carry on in…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just coming down after our Reflection Session in the Moment of Clarity live Craftalongabarbie. I really enjoyed that! My kinda thing! Those reflection masks hit the spot for me 100%. Like putting on a comfy pair of shoes…I did take a few photos, just in case anybody wants to check out the sequence, but to be frank, I am wiped out. Been a busy day! Between the SHAC SHAC and the 3pm hour, I’m…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Thought I’d step up one of those fabulous bras from this morning’s Pergamano Show on Hochanda. It’s always very difficult to go into the techniques in any detail, so I hope this helps…. Here are the plates, the beautiful plates designed by Linda. These were the very first plates she ever designed for Clarity! Bit of a Landmark really. We’ve added 9 cardblanks and envelopes, plus the Crystal Blossom crystals as a gift. So…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Was filing away my stencils and having a general sort out the other day. Came across this lovely one: Dandelions, by Mel. I love this one. There’s something just so charming and simple and arty. I must have loved it from the very start – because it’s been made into a die, a stampset… AND a pair of Groovi plates!! We used these designs in a Craftalong on HOCHANDA too. Who joined in? The…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Remember last week we had a little competition? I asked you to tell me which Designer paper was used in the background of this card… So many of you guessed correctly! Yep, it is Northern Lights, the very first Designer Paper Set I designed! CLICK HERE So in the hat went all the names of all those who got it right, and one lucky name was randomly picked to win the £30 Clarity Gift…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Happy Mother’s Day! Woke up thinking about my Mum. I am one of those women in the world who is a mother, and who still has a loving Mother. So it’s easy for me to celebrate Mother’s Day at several levels today. I go back in my mind to my Grandmothers, and I remember them both fondly too. Grace and Mark, my kids, will be on the phone as soon as they wake up…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sun’s shining here. 62 today, and it’s been a lovely day. So many lovely cards from your good selves, so many flowers and good wishes, phone calls from the family, sing-song and laughter all day. Thank you so much! What more can you want, eh? Feeling very grateful and content. I even filled the kiln and fired it up when we got back from our walk. I don’t know what I’m going to do…
