Bijou Dangle Birthday Star

I added one of the Word Chain stamps to the Birthday Bijou Dangle stamps to create this bright and cheerful card.

Bijou Dangle Friends

These Dangle word stamps from Clarity Crafts have been available in a larger size for some time but have now been released in their bijou form.  Here is the first card I made with the Friends set.

Find Joy in the Simple Things

I used some of my favourite archival ink colours to create this card using one of the Japanese Floral 2-way overlay panel stamp sets from Clarity Crafts.

WOYWW 776: Saying Our Goodbyes

On Monday we said our good-byes to Paul at a packed service.  It went so well and was a beautiful way to remember him.

The flowers are from the spray which was on the coffin.  There is another larger vase in the house full too and I am pressing two of the roses.  Thank you again for all the love and support which came our way.  The wake was also a celebration of his life.

Some days I am only managing my #dailycollage2024 but I am also trying to keep up with my crafting.  I am looking forward to the crop on May 18th and just need to start firming up numbers to see how much it will cost each of us and whether we will be catering or asking you to bring your own lunches to reduce costs.  I shall be going into work on Friday to catch up with where the students are with the work ready to go back next Monday.  Stay safe everyone and Happy WOYWW.

April: My Collage Journey So Far

 For April I have chosen a brown/sepia palette for my #dailycollage2024 journey.  I have been using the Darjeeling Infusions collage papers from Clarity Crafts and finishing each page as usual with one of their words stickers.

Strength!

It is my husband's funeral today.  This card reflects what I need today for my boys.

Anniversary Memories

 It is my husband's funeral tomorrow - we were married nearly 34 years.  I thought I would share a selection of the anniversary cards that I made him over the last few years.  Links to the instructions are below each photo.

The last one I made for him (see HERE).
