Winds of Change

 The August offering from the Clarity New Design Stencil Club provides a glorious background to silhouette stamps.

Grungy Pastel Birthday

 I am working my way through the Clarity New Design Club offerings for 2023 and couldn't resist these lovely splat stamps from August.

Some Christmas Card Ideas

 Thought I'd do a round up of some Christmas card ideas using stamps, dies and stencils from Clarity Crafts.  There are links to the step by step instructions below each picture.

A montage with various stamps (see HERE).

Best Wishes - A Leaver's Card

A long time colleague recently moved on to pastures new.  This is the card I made for staff to sign.  This is also my 2700th blog post!

WOYWW 757: New Battery

Once again the week has flown by and it is time to join in once more with Julia at Stamping Ground and WOYWW.

Mum, my sister and I attended one of the annual Christmas services of remembrance hosted by the funeral directors who took such great care of Dad.  There was a colliery brass band, the D-Day Darlings, lots of poems, singing and lighting of candles as well as a full roll call of all the people that they had cared for in 2023.  We each received a goody bag and the idea is that the candle is lit on Christmas day in memory of our loved ones.  A beautiful service but we were all a blubbering mess by the end.

The prompts I am using for December are proving a challenge but I am determined to get to the finish line.

The engine light came back on last Friday on my way home so I followed the advice given - parked and turned the engine off for a minute or two then drove home.  I had a new battery fitted yesterday so hopefully that will help resolve the situation of I will need to book the car in to have the injectors adjusted/replaced.

I can't believe it is December already and will be less than three weeks until the holidays begin.  Happy WOYWW everyone.

 

Thinking of You Tulips

For my final sample using the tags and frames stamp sets from Clarity Crafts, I created a thinking of you card using a sprayed background.

Thank You Roses

I used a back issue Clarity New design Club stencil to combine with the rose tag from the new tags and frames happy birthday stamp set from Clarity Crafts.
