Gretna Green Wedding Card

This is the card that I made for a colleague who was getting married in Gretna Green.

WOYWW 895/115: Waiting on Results

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.

I can't show you the ATC and PTC that I have made as they are for a swap.

Eva was on the other side of the desk having been for a walk and breakfast at Trentham on Monday.

I am back at the dentist today for a follow up appointment.  I gave u3a a miss yesterday as I have tweaked a nerve in my neck again so am back doing the exercises the physio gave me last year for the same thing.

I am awaiting test results from a follow up procedure on Saturday to last Thursdays scans and consultation.  One of the nurses happened to be an ex form member of mine from over 20 years' ago!  I am not worrying in the mean time however, as there seems little point in stressing out for the moment.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Life is Too Short to be Anything but Happy

I found a topper sitting on my desk and decided to turn it into a card.  This was the result.

Woodland Art Block Stamps: Ideas and Inspiration

Christmas in July: Ideas and Inspiration

It is traditional to celebrate Christmas in July by getting started on cards early.  I have been looking back over some of the projects I have made using these cute Penguins and the Clarity Christmas jumper stamps.  Details of each project are linked below each image.

It could also be a Valentine's card (see HERE).

No sentiment needed (see HERE).

The whole family having fun (see HERE).

Journal Page - Catching Up

 I am well behind with my monthly journal pages using the 2026 Clarity Journal Blank.  This is what I created for the April page!  I used a background created at Barb's workshop after the Clarity Open Days in June.

Elegant Ladies, Tres Chic and Catwalk: Ideas and Inspiration

I love the elegant ladies stamps and stencils from Clarity Crafts as well as the Tres Chic and Catwalk Silhouette and word backgrounds.  I have collected many of my projects using them together and linked the step by steps below each picture as always.
