April Inky Calendar Page

For my inky April calendar page in my Clarity calendar blank, I started with one of the Spring/Summer Backdrop Prints (31804).

Metal Flake Lotus Panel

For my final play with the Panel Stencils which are one of Clarity's April Products of the Month, I used metal flakes to produce a dramatic effect.

Rainbow Allium Stencil

I made another card using the new size of Theuva card from Clarity Crafts.

Butterfly Stencil Panel Card

For my second sample using the Clarity April Product of the Month Panel Stencils, I used part of a panel on a 6" x 6" white card blank.

Wrap Round Good Luck Card

One of the Clarity April products of the month is a collection of four fabulous panel stencils.  There is a new size of card which fits them perfectly and I turned  a piece into this good luck card.

Rainbow Cats!

I had real fun creating this rainbow card using the tiny cats that are on one of the Mini Japanese Landscape stamp sets from Clarity Crafts.

WOYWW 877/97: Last Week of Term

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.

Wishing Neet a steady recovery! 

My craft desk is bare!  Apart from secret stuff for Clarity and the #dailyatc2026 it has seen no action in the last week.  So I thought I would show you my work bag instead - by the front door ready to go.

My desk will see some action after today. #1 son and his girlfriend got engaged while on holiday in Thailand so I will need to get moving on a card before they return on Sunday.

Fingerprint up close

Hoping to have a PJ day again tomorrow as there is not such a rush on the next lot of Clarity stuff.

Stay safe - I will visit on Friday when I am at Mum's as usual.  Happy WOYWW.

Mini Japanese Scenes

I used two of the tags from the Spring/Summer Landscapes Backdrop Prints set as a starting point for these mini makes using the new Mini Japanese Landscape stamps from Clarity Crafts.

A Mini Japanese Scene

March is Japan Month at Clarity and these new Mini Japanese Landscape stamps are such fun to work with.  I combined them with one of the Dusk & Dawn Landscape Toppers to create this birthday card.

Happy Mother's Day

This is the card I made for Mum this year.

Groovi Club Wedding Card

I was so determined to use my February 2026 Clarity Groovi club plate before my March plate arrived and I just got in under the wire as they arrived the next day.

SHAC and Doodle Rounds: Ideas and Inspiration

 I thought I would share some projects using some of the products Deb has on her shows today on Clarity Crafts Social TV.  As usual the link to each project is below the photo.

Leaf Doodle Rounds (see HERE).

A Spring Journal Page

 The fortnightly prompt over on Try It On Tuesday is Spring and I was kindly asked to be a guest on the DT for this theme.  I decided to make a journal page using Clarity products for my contribution.

WOYWW 876/96: Cream Crackered

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.

Thinking of Neet and wishing her a continued recovery!

Not so much a desk as a partial round up of Saturday's escapades.  A fabulous workshop with Tilly Tea Dance followed a a recorder afternoon and then off to pick up Mum and see my brother playing oboe in his first concert in many years with the City of Lichfield Wind Band.  The standard was amazing!

Honeycomb

Martini

I must admit that I am only keeping up with my #dailyatc2026 challenge by making four on a Sunday.  I am far too exhausted after work to even think about going out to the shed.  So far I have been asleep by 8pm for the first two days of work.  Wednesday is my heaviest day with 5 lessons, a form and it is also my duty day.  I also move between 5 rooms unlike a Monday and Tuesday where I am in the same one all day.  Hoping to visit at the weekend if I don't have too many samples to make.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

#dailyatc2026 First Half of March

I have completed the next part 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, stencils and stickers.  Here are my offerings for the first half of March.

Breakfast in bed

Invent your own pet

Shelves

Masquerade

Meeting a friend

I had to add some drawing to this one to fit the prompt.

The first time I have used a die cut for my ATCs.

Honeycomb

Martini

I really had to think outside the box for this one and add some drawing.

I masked off a Clarity Club stamp for this one.

Dragonfly Mini Make

I kept things small and simple for my final sample using the Dotted Dragonflies and set 2 of the Branches, Twigs and Sprigs stamps from Clarity Crafts.

SHAC Birds on Kraft

For my final samples using two of the Barb's SHAC Birds stamp sets, I worked on kraft card and added fusible fibres.

Barb's Floral Hearts

For my final sample using some of Clarity's Products of the Month for March, I combined them with Art Deco stamps and a stencil.

March PTC - Colour

The prompt for the March PTC swap over on Clarity Mini Makes and ATCs is Colour.  I knew exactly which sentiment I wanted to use.
