April ATC Swap: Dreams

 I wasn't feeling too well when I made my ATC for the April swap over on Clarity Crafts Mini Makes and ATCs.  Luckily I already had the perfect card to send with it.

WOYWW 879/99: Back On Form

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.

I have been busy back in the shed catching up with sample making and getting everything ready to post tomorrow off to Clarity Towers.  I can show you these two stamp sets as they are already available on the website but there are a few more that I can't share yet.  I managed to make a quick visit to everyone yesterday - sorry it was a generic message, I have so much to catch up with. 

My sister had a lovely birthday and a great family meal at Mum's on Sunday.  I did take my laptop but we were busy swapping out my sister's old washing machine with Mum's that was no longer working.

I haven't had too much difficulty with my #dailyatc2026 so far in April, although there are some interesting prompts coming up.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Engagement Congratulations

My eldest son and his girlfriend recently got engaged. He proposed while they were in Thailand on holiday, and this is the card I gave them on their return.

Hoppy Easter Birthday!

My sister loves Peter Rabbit and cats so I always try to include one or the other on her birthday cards. This was this year's.

April Groovi Calendar

Even though the Clarity 2026 parchment calendar blank comes with sheets of parchment, I am still working on a piece of Rainbow River designer parchment each month.

Good Luck!

A long serving member of the office staff left recently. This is the card that I made for the staff to sign.

Mini Japanese Landscape Tag

For my final sample using the new Mini Japanese Landscape stamps, I built up a scene on a tag using the set with the tiny cats.

#dailyatc2026 Third Month Complete

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

The Moon Tonight

I have prepped the backgrounds for my April ATCs using Honeycomb, Sunshine Yellow and Sunset Orange Alcohol inks.

 

WOYWW 878/98: Happy Easter

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.

Looking forward to Neet feeling well enough to join in again soon - you are missed.

My PJ day last Thursday was interrupted when I remembered that I had a ticket to go and see Six at the theatre.  I did get a decent lie in though.  #3 son has been really generous with his cold so I am feeling a little under the weather this week.  Hoping to feel better by tomorrow so I can go and see Mum - if not it will be Easter Sunday Lunch with her and two of my siblings instead.

The Moon Tonight

I have prepped the backgrounds for my April ATCs using Honeycomb, Sunshine Yellow and Sunset Orange Alcohol inks.

Apart from prepping my ATC backgrounds for April I can't really show any desk action.  The engaged couple haven't seen their card yet and the ATC that I have made for a swap hasn't been posted yet.

Stay safe, Happy WOYWW and Happy Easter everyone.

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.

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.
