Clarity Cumbria.

Good morning all, and what a lovely Sunday morning it is...we have had a wonderful walk with Tess and Eric this morning followed by breakfast on the patio...just perfect...

I am now sat in the garden writing to you,,,

How did your Saturday go? Good I hope... It was Clarity Cumbria for me...and what a brilliant day it was..

As usual we had lots of laughs, friendly chat, homemade biscuits, and we made some cards too...

We even had a special visitor....with four legs...

We had a play with the wonderful new stamp set from Clarity...the boy and ships set...

Have you got it yet? If not...I do think you need it...

It is so useful...

We started with some cutting out.... We had to do this card first as a couple of ladies don't like cutting out...

So I sneaked it in early...( don't worry ,, I won't name and shame you ladies !! )

This is what we made....

Followed by this ' dreamy' card...the masks really are so useful, I am so glad that they come with the stamps

Look what the ladies created

All wonderful,

I am so proud of you all....

Then it was lunch time,,,and our guest needed to stretch his legs ( Prince is a very well behaved Guide dog)

After lunch we created a book, I have to say that I was so pleased with the way this card turned out

And look at the ones the ladies made..

I do love to see how everyone is an individual piece of art

Our fourth card was just some quick stamping and painting with Distress ink..a great card for a male...and a nice quick and easy one,,

Perfect for those last minute makes...you know the ones we all need at times...

It was great to see Penny and Lucy again...and wow you can see how talented they are,,,

Such inspirational girls, and so well behaved too, a real pleasure to craft alongside .

A few of our regular crafters were on holiday...and although we missed them , there still seemed to be as much noise and crafty banter,,mmmmm what does that tell us...??? And yes we still managed to eat all the biscuits...

The drive home was lovely too, with the sun shinning and such stunning scenery,,

I dare say that's not going to last...but for now I am going to make the most of what is left of summer...

Have a lovely afternoon...

Take care all, remember to be kind...

Much love and hugs

Jo. xxxx
