Hi there! 98 days before Christmas, and counting! I’m quite enjoying the structure of the blog again, getting back into it, One Day at A Time, and looking at all our Christmas stamps and stash! I’ve also been thinking about other things, like competitions, jokes, limericks – we do love a limerick! Yesterday we looked at how to enhance your cards with the Nested Square Embedders. Today, we’ll use the same stamp set, but focus on even smaller cards, notelets…

Hi there. 99 Days to Christmas?? The countdown is underway! And since this ‘ere blog is entitled One Day at a Time, what better place to keep track of the calendar than here? I am very fortunate that the kids are coming home from the States for Christmas this year, but that means I really want to get ahead, and have a few handmade gifts and cards made before they land! How about you? I bet you’ve already started, haven’t…

Hi there Can you believe it’s been 32 years since Clarity was born in Santa Barbara? Where on earth does the time go?! That’s pretty much half my life – and it’s literally all of Grace and Mark’s lives! Truth is, they’re the reason Clarity exists in the first place. I wanted to work from home, to be there when they went off to school and when they came back. Back then, “working from home” wasn’t really a thing—unless you…

Hi there We really are makers, aren’t we? When I look at how far we’ve come—from stamps to parchment art, mixed media, and even soft crafts like felt and embroidery—it’s clear that we’re not just stampers. We are so much more than that. Clarity may be best known as a hub for papercrafts, but over the years I’ve come to see just how incredibly creative, clever, and versatile this community really is. You surprise and inspire me constantly. This summer…
