Saturday Share – The Blue Edition
Hello hello! Grace here.
I hope this finds you well?
I’m sorry that there wasn’t a Saturday Share last weekend! As many of you know, I was working with Clarity at our Open Days! What a success they were. We hope those of you that joined us last weekend in Ditton had a wonderful time. It felt good to be back together again, in person. I know many of you came both days!
For me, it was certainly lovely to put so many faces to names that I know so well. And to see so many friends after so long. We hope that you all got home safely. And to those of you that wanted to come, but couldn’t make it… we missed you! Next time.
As many of you know, Mum started a challenge on her blog in May (you can find it here). Here are the guidelines as a reminder…
- Make a piece of art.
- Make it blue.
- Make it square.
- Make it with Clarity.
- Post your art on Clarity Worldwide, and add #abluebeinittowinitchallenge
We saw such incredible artwork shared! Absolutely STUNNING work. We gathered all of the names and put them in a raffle for one lucky winner to win a £40 Clarity gift voucher. I’d love to use this Saturday Share Blog as a platform for sharing the entries! Inspiration galore!
Let’s settle and enjoy these fabulous makes together…

I emailed most of you last week with the code, but have had a hard time locating a few of your emails.
If your artwork is in this blog, but you didn’t receive that discount code from me already, please email me (Grace@claritystamp.com)
Phew! Always fun to have a bit of a prize draw. we’ll be doing more of it in the future!
Oooh, great news! The talented Tina Cox is on the telly this afternoon; 2pm on Craft Extra and again at 5pm on Create and Craft. She will be showcasing these beauties…
We hope you’ll tune in and enjoy the shows! Here’s a gorgeous gallery of artwork related to the show.
We’ll be back in blogland tomorrow with a fabulous step-by-step project! It’s a goodun.
Travel gently, friends.
Lotsa love, Grace xoxo

Congratulations Debbie. Well deserved, your art work is beautiful.
So many beautiful pieces of art, there is such a lot of talented people in these groups. Everyone a winner.

Thank you Roz xxx
Hello Grace,
It was lovely to meet you last weekend. We all had a blast at the Open Days.
Congratulations to Debbie Lee for being the lucky winner and a special ‘hurrah’ to four of my friends from the East Northants Groovi Group, Anne Breach, Anne Kellythorn, Sheila Stokes and Lynda Hidderley. Well done girls.
Love
Roz.xxx
Thank you Julie xxx
WOW what a great selection of cards – all on the same theme but all so different. Congratulations Debbie, enjoy spending your voucher.
Last weekend was great – very different weatherwise thankfully from today but thats the British weather for you – it was so good to see so many people soaking up the knowledge that was being shared by the Clarity Team. Now I need to get down & put some of it into practice with my goodies that were purchased, although I am bound to be missing something vital but then I have a discount code to spend – Thanks Clarity for that.
Next it will be the Retreats – always been on my bucket list but this year OH said why don’t you go – don’t need asking twice – think it might be because he has found he can get to London in an hour on the train !!
Thank you Sue xxx
Well done Debbie. Lovely card
Thank you Elisabeth xxx
Well done Debbie. All lovely cards and chuffed to see mine amongst them. Lovely to meet you last weekend Grace, and your friend Lizzie. How busy were you both on those tills!! Ka..ching !
Congratulations Debbie a stunning card. Thank you Grace for including my card here and for the 10% discount ( haven’t decided what to use it on yet). So glad the open days went so well for you one day maybe I’ll get there but thanks to Jane Telford and a few others who posted photos .
Thank you Catherine xxx
WOW What a collection of beautiful cards. Congrats to all those showcased.
I would have loved to be with you all last week but distance and immobility made it impossible. One day – maybe!!!
Just tried to place an order for Tina’s plates and my computer DIED on me. And I mean DIED. Ordered a new one but have to wait for delivery 📦 so fortunately this very ancient I-pad can still access the Clarity site but will not allow me to place orders.
When he wakes up I will get hubby to do it for me.
Enjoy this lovely weather everyone. Stay safe.
Hello Grace, glad you got back safely. Thank you for putting all the fabulous entries together all in one place – they are all wonderful. Many congratulations to Debbie. Looking forward to tomorrows tutorial. Have a great weekend everyone xx
Thank you Beverley xxx

Thank you for the discount code, that is very kind of you.
Take care xx
Thank you Sally xxx
Thank you Grace for the lovely blue art work. I always look forward to all the lovely work. Busy week last week so will be nice to be able to have a quieter week and watch the clarity programs next week and craft along.
Have a lovely week.x
A lovely selection of cards, congratulations to Debbie, enjoy spending your voucher. Best wishes to everyone for the rest of the weekend. x
Thanks so much Janine xxx
Great selection of cards – amazing how everyone has interpreted the brief so differently. I do love a challenge like that (though, on this occasion, I didn’t manage to take part – difficult few weeks, but beginning to get back on an even keel).
Congratulations Debbie and all the participants of the blue challenge x
Thank you Helen xxx
Well done Debbie! There was a great selection of different and beautiful cards there! Love Tina’s new plates too. Have a good weekend. X
Thank you Jackie xxx
Wow is an understatement. Congratulations to Debbie and all other participants, you should all be very proud of your work.
Thank you so much xxx
What an inspiring collection of cards!! I loved them all but I loved Debbie’s card the best!!! I continue to thoroughly enjoy reading the Saturday Share blog and having a look at the Sunday project.
Ditton is unfotunately way too far for us up in the North Midlands, so did not make it. But it looked great fun and made me look forward to the Clarity retreats in August.
Best Wishes to you all for a good weekend and week!
Thank you so much Eva xxx
