Christmas Goose

I used a variety of the worker stamps from various Christmas Animal stamp sets to create the wreath around this goose!

Retro BOW-WOB Dog

For my final sample using the Retro stamps and papers from Clarity Crafts, I used a gel plate to create a background for the card.

Retro Family

I used the small Retro papers to create a background for this card using the SHAC Retro Family stamps from Clarity Crafts.

One Layer Retro Card

This time I made a one layer card using all three of the Retro stamp sets from Clarity Crafts.

We Are Family!

I had fun combining the new Retro Family stamps and Retro papers from Clarity Crafts to create this card.

#dailyatc2026: Nine Months Complete

I have completed my eighth month of this year's challenge to myself - a daily ATC, following the prompts over on 365 days of drawing prompts and other art and using Clarity stamps and stencils.  Here are my offerings for the second half of September.

As usual I will be changing my background colours for my October ATCs.

WOYWW 904/124: Less Hectic

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

This has been a far less hectic week.  I treated myself to a PJ day last Thursday and have been taking my time over making samples which I posted off yesterday.  My desk shows the start of sorting all my #dailyatc2026 backgrounds for October - last day of September already, where has the year gone.

I met up with Eva on Monday for a walk around the lake at Trentham Gardens and breakfast at the cafe. She came back to the shed for a crafty session afterwards, so here she is on the other side of the desk.

I will be visiting from Mum's on Friday as usual.  On Saturday I will be enjoying a day of recorder playing.  My brother is attending the workshop too so I am particularly looking forward to it.

Hope Helen and Susan are continuing to heal well from their operations.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.
