Time To Step Into the Shoes of Your Own Life

For this card, I used one of the postcards which accompanies Clarity Quotes set 8.

Be Unique People!

I chose the colours of my first sample using new stamps from Clarity Crafts very deliberately!

Cranes on a Gel Press Background

I went with a grungy look for my last sample using the new Cranes stamps from Clarity Crafts and created a gel press background to show them off.

Cranes on Kraft

I kept things simple for this card with a pair of cranes on kraft card.

WOYWW 826/46: Assessments Ongoing

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday), the brainchild of Julia, who has 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. 

My desk shows the latest stash arrival from Clarity.  I invested in a couple of the Stamptagious stamp sets (thought Jan would appreciate the hares), as they were launched on Clarity TV last week, along with some Groovi plates and papers.  I made the most of the extra 10% discount code that was in place last month.

I know it's called Uluru rather than Ayers Rock!

Memories of my childhood bedroom, sharing with my twin sister.

A strange prompt - I can't believe that it is April already!

Sorry I didn't get round to visiting until the weekend - I saw snowed under marking Y8 assessments and getting samples made.  It is now the turn of Y7 assessments so it may be the weekend again before I get round to everyone.

We had a lovely meal out on Saturday evening for Mother's Day.  Myself, the boys +1, Mum, brother, brother-in-law and niece and family.  It was great having everyone together at the same time.  Mum loved her gift from Tilly Tea Dance's Etsy shop.

Stay safe and happy WOYWW.

#dailyart2025: March Part II

 I am still going well with the prompts over on 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and Other Art.  I work in a Petite watercolour journal from Clarity Crafts and use Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils.  Here are my drawings from the second half of March. 

I really struggle with stair cases with open risers.

I love to lose myself in a good book.

For my late father and his love of all things Flanders and Swann (A Transport of Delight).

If penguins need woollies, it must be cold.

I could have been more controversial, but decided against it.

I used to share a bedroom with my twin sister.

A fun end to the month. A quarter of the way through 2025!

Rainbow Miniature Cranes

I thought the miniature cranes which are part of this new stamp set from Clarity Crafts would work well in my signature rainbow colours - what do you think?
