A belated Happy New Year

Good afternoon bloggers.
Its a long time since I blogged and I really should do more so fingers crossed I will try.
It's been a busy old year in the world of Claritystamp and lots of products have been launched on Hochanda and a few have sneaked quietly onto the website but all are fab and there for a purpose! And because of that I have been kept busy with samples for the shows. I do enjoy making them and giving all you good people lots of inspiration. I can't believe that I have been making samples for Barbara for well 5and a half years now. It's amazing how much more I am doing now compared to when I started but that shows how much more popular the company has become. 

I know this year I will be even more busy due to our daughter getting married. Her invites are nearly finished and then its the favours and the table settings to be done. Oh and the cake of course...but its all in hand and in my plan so it will all slot into place. I am so looking forward to it and I know the time will fly past. Before you know it I will be sharing photos of the big day I am sure.

Anyway back to the crafting. I will share with you a card I made back in 2018 that was for one of Tina's shows. I loved doing this one as it got me painting on the front of the parchment too.

Ingredients.
