Mini Bouquets

I used some of the worker stamps that come with the SHAC Bouquet stamps from Clarity Crafts to create this pair of mini makes.

WOYWW 882 / 102: Two Weeks to the Anniversary

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.

Gentle hugs to all those feeling under the weather. 

My desk shows the inside of one of my DVD stamp storage cases and the stamps that Barbara Gray is bringing to Hobby Maker today.  

This is the sample that was on my blog yesterday and there will be another one tomorrow.

My ATC colour will be changing again next month.

Yesterday was a gentler day as I had my u3a group in the afternoon so only worked until lunch time.  I had missed the previous two rehearsals while I was settling into work so it made a pleasant change.  A full day today then an extended break for the Bank Holiday.

It's only two more weeks until the 17th anniversary, so I need to make a start on the ATC for my desk that week.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Bouquet Panel Card

I loved a card that Jane Telford made for a recent Clarity show and decided to emulate it using the new SHAC Bouquet stamps from Clarity Crafts.

May Inky Calendar Page

 For my May inky page in my 2026 Clarity calendar, I once again decided to work on one of the Spring/ Summer Landscape Backdrop prints following from April's page (see HERE).

A Good Friend Is...

Once again I used an alcohol ink background with two of the Friends, Sisters & Angels stamp sets from Clarity Crafts for this card.

Ring of Hearts

One of the stamps in the Build a Bloom set 2 from Clarity Crafts reminded me of a heart so I decided to make it the focal point of my card.

More Mini Landscapes

I went with a couple of mini makes again with my second sample using the Lighthouse Mini Landscape stamps from Clarity Crafts.

Snowy Mini Landscape Scene on Kraft Card

For my second sample using the Castle Mini Landscape stamp set from Clarity Crafts, I decided on a monotone look and went with a snow scene on kraft card.

WOYWW 881/101: Counting Down

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.

Still looking forward to Neet feeling well enough to join in again soon - you are missed.  Gentle hugs to all those feeling under the weather too.

There is once again nothing I can show you on my desk, as I have been making samples once again.  I thought I would show you my new music stand (in the bag) to hold my music tablet.  The tablet is the size of A4, so music is really clear.  I also have a new foot pedal for turning pages.  I used it twice on Saturday , for a concert in the morning and a rehearsal in the afternoon.

Once again the Wee Folk stamps have been really useful for this week's #dailyatc2026 prompts.

I have a parents' evening after school today with a full set of appointments, but as the school appointed my successor yesterday, it should be my last one!

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Triple Tag Coastal Landscape

For my first sample using the Lighthouse Mini Landscape stamp set from Clarity Crafts I worked on tags which were then added to a card.

Mini, Mini Landscapes

For my first samples using one of the new mini landscape stamp sets from Clarity Crafts I decided to create some mini cards.

A Garden of Blooms

For my first sample using set 2 of the new Build a Bloom stamps from Clarity Crafts, I decided to go with a garden of Spring flowers. 

Build a Bloom Panel

For my second sample using one of the Build a Bloom stamp sets from Clarity Crafts I decided to add some doodling using a micron pen.

Take Time to Smell The Roses

I made use of my mini Archival inks to create these flowers using the Build a Bloom set 3 from Clarity Crafts.

#dailyatc2026: April So Far

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 April.

As you can see there have been some challenging prompts for the first half of April!

WOYWW 880/100: Back to Work Again

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.

Still looking forward to Neet feeling well enough to join in again soon - you are missed.  Gentle hugs to all those feeling under the weather too.

My desk is bare.  I managed to finish samples and get them posted after work on Monday but there has been no action since the weekend with the new term starting.

I nearly forgot to set this up to post yesterday as I was so tired after work.  Luckily I remembered on the way home.  I had to have a new freezer and washing machine at the weekend so fitting that in around sample making was pretty stressful too.

I suggest that we have an ATC on our desks for the 17th anniversary in 4 weeks time.  If anyone wants to do physical swaps, you are welcome to offer on the day but I won't be able to do it this year.  

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.
