Saturday Share!

Hello hello! Grace here.

I hope this finds you well & enjoying your Saturday morning. I love that so many of you have built a little morning routine around this ‘ere blog. That makes it all worthwhile. It does kick off the weekend in a creative and fun way 🙂

But first, we have some great news to share with you! We have been nominated in 7 categories for the Best of Craft Awards. Woo!

Here are the 7 categories that we are nominated for…

  • Best Brand for Crafts (Claritystamp)
  • Best Rated Customer Service (Claritystamp)
  • Female Craft Personality of the Year (Barbara Gray)
  • Designer of the Year (Barbara Gray)
  • Ultimate Craft Holiday (Claritystamp, August Retreat)
  • Most Inspiring Blog (Barbara Gray, One Day At A Time)

We at Clarity want to thank you for nominating us! We’re incredibly chuffed. If you think we’re deserving of some wins, please help us to bring some awards home and vote for us! You can do so HERE.
Thank you thank you!
(TOP TIP: If you don’t know the other categories, you can leave them black and click next)


Thank you for all of your good wishes on the last blog! Grandad continues to do well, which is some sweet relief for the rest of us.
And on this side of the pond, we had a brilliant time in New Jersey too, celebrating my friend’s 30th! I’ve learned that I really like Bloody Mary’s! Hahaha. Have you ever tried them? I absolutely hated them at 21, when I first moved to NY. Yackety yack! But now, suddenly at 32… they might be my new favourite thing. Well, it is Saturday!!
It’s funny how we evolve over time to change our tastes, likes, and dislikes. Things I wouldn’t eat or drink before, now I love. Can you relate? I’m sure you can. I think we’re evolving well 😉

I’m rambling away! So for now, let’s move on to my absolute favourite part of the week! I slowed down on Friday afternoon to have a gander through our wonderful Facebook groups; Clarity Worldwide and Groovi Worldwide. We have so many new lovely members joining every day, and it’s exciting that many of our new friends are posting their artwork too.

For those that don’t yet know, we share some of your beautiful artwork every Saturday in this sharing blog! There’s no rhyme or reason to it… they’re just some exceptionally beautiful cards that grabbed my attention this week. And boy do we have a special collection this weekend! I hope you’ve gotta cuppa handy (or a bloody mary!!)

Let’s have a look…

Patsy Laliberte
Jackie Hind

Christine Chapman
Deborah Wheeler
Catherine Sunter
Ken Kilminster
Gwyneth Mohon
Lyn Buckell
Sally Poole
Janet Hill
Julie Campbell

*Raises eyebrows* Amazing, right?

Crazy good.

If you have the time, I highly recommend going back to the top and scrolling back through them again slowly. You’ll see things that you didn’t notice the first time. Every single card is so unique and beautiful in it’s own way. So many creative choices.

I just love them all! Thank you for sharing your artwork. It truly keeps us going.

Have a safe and restful weekend! I hope all of our friends in the UK stay cool in this heatwave. Drinks lots of water, and take it easy. I’m off to enjoy a low-key weekend myself 🙂

Travel gently, friends! Stay safe.

Lotsa love, Grace xo

    Thank you, lovely Grace, for including my piece, even though I wasn’t really happy with it. Love all the other contributions, they are stunning! Hope everyone stays safe and hydrated through this coming heatwave – take care all x 💜

    Wow, lovely to see so many cards again this week. It must get harder every week to choose just a few from the Facebook pages to share with us on a Saturday. The Clarity family is definitely growing as I see so many new names welcomed to the groups which is fantastic – Clarity Rocks !!
    Good to hear your Grandad is settled & improving daily after his latest stint in hospital – peace of mind for all the family to know he is safe & being looked after 24/7. Family can now visit to chat rather than doing the looking after. Thinking of your Oma as well, it must seem very strange for her.
    Stay cool & safe everyone over the coming week as the heat is set to soar to new heights. I will pass on the Bloody Mary & stick to cold water xx

    Hi Grace. It’s my favourite time of week again the artwork, as always, is inspiring. Although I’m a stamper at heart the amount of work that goes into those truly amazing parchment cards just blows me away every time. I do do some and enjoy it when I do but I just really haven’t got the patience ‘to let it rest’. Maybe I should just give up on white work and just continue to enjoy the snipping of the grids. Hope everyone has a good week xx

    Beautiful artwork as always. Congratulations on the nominations (well deserved). Great new about your Grandad. I never liked veg as a child (now a veggie 😂), how did that happen!

    Beautiful artwork yet again Grace. Don’t know how you can decide which to showcase I’d end up with them all. Love the parchment work am a novice but I am working on a piece for my husband and I for our 50th anniversary taking it very very slowly. Have done my voting and the nominations are well deserved Clarity is the best company I’ve ever felt with. So glad your Grandad is doing so well at the moment. Need the German plum crumble recipe from your mum it looks very yummy.xx

    Inspiring artwork. Did my voting earlier, your Mum deserves to win.
    God to hear Dad is doing better.
    My tipples are brandy and rum. I used to love Vodka but unfortunately it doesn’t like me. Now my medication forbids alcohol for now.
    Enjoy your weekend.

      Fabulous work as always, there’s always one I miss ! Glad you had a good weekend. It’s great news about your grandad too. We’ve come to Cornwall for a long weekend to celebrate our friend’s 80th birthday. We were staying until Monday coming home in the morning but had decided to do a late night run tomorrow to avoid the heat on Monday. Going to be warm enough tomorrow as well! Enjoy your peaceful weekend. X

    Such a range of styles and designs, the stamping ones are brilliant and all of that peco cutting, Wow. I am always amazed at how many ways people use the same things and make them all unique. So clever.

    Day 2 of our heatwave, think it’s going to be worse. Staying cool and crafting inside – best place to be!
