Congratulations It's A Girl

 This card was made for a colleague who has just had a baby girl.  I made use of some of the offcuts of Clarity papers that I have in my stash.

Season's Greetings Flower

I decided it was about time to use the Season's Greetings Flower stamps and masks from Clarity Crafts which I purchased recently.  They were designed by Christina Morris, one of my fellow DT members.

Not A Morning Person

I was playing with a bargain find from a second hand book store creating a background, and this tag developed from there.

WOYWW 811/31: One Week to Christmas

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday) which was the brainchild of Julia, who was kindly entrusted it to me to continue after 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch. 

I think I have enough watercolour journals for my daily art next year.  I will probably swap between drawings and watercolours depending whether I am at work on a particular day or not.

This time next week it will be Christmas Day.  I totally understand that you will all be extremely busy with family and friends and I am not expecting many to join in next week.  I will however set up a post for those that wish to drop in later in the week.

It's my last day of teaching today for 2024, as on Friday I will be accompanying KS3 on their reward trip.  I will ensure all the marking is done before then so I can enjoy Christmas with a guilt free conscience!

Happy WOYWW - stay safe everyone.

#dailycollage2024 December - The Story So Far

The year seems to have flown by and the last month of my #dailycollage2024 pages is already half over.  This time each page starts with one of the Clarity Christmas Collage papers and ends, as always, with one of their words stickers. 

For Saint Nicholas Day

I am having fun with the festive colours and images.

Jazz's Merry Christmas Baubles II

For my second card using the Jazz's Christmas Elements stamp set, I decided to combine the baubles with Clarity designer paper.

Jazz's First Independent Project

 It was lovely to find out more about Jazz, one of the graphic designers at Clarity Crafts over on Clarity Social TV on Monday. She revealed the first ever project that she worked on independently from start to finish.  Here are some ideas and inspiration using some of the stamp sets.  As always, links to the projects are below each photo.

Easy to emboss even in detail (see HERE).
