Birthday Bookmark with Window Die

As these new Room with a View aperture dies from Claritystamp can be split in half, I decided to decorate the front and back of a bookmark for my first sample.  The full set will be available as a One Day Special on Hochanda until 6pm this evening, with shows at 9am, 1pm and 5pm.

Fabulous Doodle Stamps!

I had such a fabulous time playing with these doodleology stamps from Claritystamp designed by Cherry Green.  Barbara Gray will be bringing all three sets to Hochanda tomorrow afternoon between 2pm and 4pm.  Here's the first sample that I made with the circle set.

I've Rejoined the Club: Let's Celebrate

I've recently renewed my annual memberships to the Clarity New Design Club.  I have been a member of the newest club (dies) since it started in January last year and in the stencil club since its inception too.  I was a late comer to the stamp club (#88 was my first), but have carried on since joining nearly five years ago.  Each month I receive a stamp, stencil and die with colour booklets containing two projects for each item.  There is also a Groovi club. For this pop out card, I used the last die of 2019, but came up with my own design.

New Year Floral Card

I made this card on Monday in readiness for the new year.  I couldn't resist working with the floral number stamps from Claritystamp as they are so pretty.  I also had another play with my new water colour pencils.

WOYWW 552: Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone and welcome to my first contribution to WOYWW of 2020.  A wonderful family Christmas was spent over at my parents with the whole family including siblings, children, their partners and nephew.
My desk shot was actually taken on Monday when Eva made it over for a post holiday crafting session.  I was working on a New Year card and was using my new water colour pencils (a box of 72 from The Works).  I also wanted to show off my 'shed' diary which was a present off a crafty friend.  I will be keeping it in the shed to keep track of deadlines, upcoming shows and workshops.
As you can see from the other side of the desk, Eva travelled light as usual lol.  We will be able to get together next Tuesday as well, as it is our day off in common.
To finish, here's the finished card (details on blog tomorrow).  Wishing you all a happy, healthy 2020 and Happy WOYWW.  To see more desks or to join in yourself, please visit Julia at The Stamping Ground where more about WOYWW will be explained.
