Today's the Day.......... for the New Challenge.

Good morning to all in blogland. Todays the day when we launch the new monthly challenge over at The Paperlane are you all ready to take a hop over there, where everything will be explained.?
I was given the task of setting the first challenge and the theme is......... anything but square. So today I am sharing my design with you. I have used a mixture of My Minds Eye papers and Bo Bunny Dot paper and the base for this is the Your Inspiration Handbag card Blank available from Whichcarft . Of course the characters are the newly released Molly Blooms Summertime Fun Collection....well what else could I use, the weather has been so lovely this week! So why not join in with the chance of winning some fabulous prizes.

Have a great day and remember you need to be in it to win it!

Love and Happy Challenge,

A New Challenge for Molly Blooms..........

What am I like? with all thats going on at the moment I totally forgott to mention a NEW Challenge thats going to take place monthly and there is only 2 days left till it's launched  " The Paperlane Monthly Challenge".
Theres going to be lots of Molly and George featured and loads of fab prizes up for grabs if you take part, so hop on over to The Paperlane for more details. The design team are going to take it in turns to set a different challenge each month, and guess what I am up first! So don't  forgett the 1st July and drop by to join in, it promises to be fun!!!

Now, I thought I would share this little make with you, "George's Worm Box" some of you will have made one as part of my recent workshops, but it makes me smile as it sums George up totally when he was about 5! wish he still was...... anyway that all for now and please remember to join in the fun on the 1st July, see you there.

Sunday, Sunday........

Up early this morning, I am off on another road trip over to Samuel Taylors in Leeds, to demo my new summer range of Molly's.
Yesterday I was over at Kendal teaching a workshop, so thought I would share with you what the ladies made. We had a really great day because the weather was just awful and the company was just fab, the kind thats perfect for crafting!
Anyway must dash but I hope you like.

Have a good Sunday

2 For the Price of One Read....

Good morning to you all, today you get 2 small quick makes for one read!

Meet Molly tip toeing through the daisy's and George sitting outside his tree house.

I have used My Minds eye Papers and the card blanks.... well I am a little fed up with plain square cards at the moment so have been playing alot with some fab card blanks, available exclusively from

 Which Crafts in Doncaster or even visit the online shop. 

They just lend themselves so well to Molly and Georges Summer antics!!! well when its not raining...

Have a good Sunday and thanks for dropping by today.

Summertime Fun........

Hi to you all, its another wet morning in Helmshore, but I can feel the sun shinning.....no I haven't got time for a holiday...  but I have just released the new, yes new! set of Molly Blooms Stamps "Summertime Fun", so check out your local stockist visit http://www.mollybloomsdesigns.co.uk/ where you can find Molly and George having some summer fun in there newly built Tree House or splashing around in there paddling pool, you can even met Claude the crab on the beach!

The stamps went down a storm over at The Stamp Magic Show yesterday, where it was nice to meet you all  and I hope for those of you who managed to buy the beach hut stamp before it sold out! that you are all busy stamping. If you didn't manage to get one, there are more on the way!!! so just hang in there.

Today I thought I would share this step card with you, it shows just some of the new stamps and what you can do with a little bit of cutting out! Let me know what you think, I love to read your comments.....also a big thankyou for all your birthday wishes.

Back soon,
Love Clare xxx

Another Year Older........

Hello Ladies and thank you for popping by!
Today I am another year older and I think I feel it, can't believe George my baby! has left school and Molly is driving around in her first company car, but the main thing... Molly announced to me that she has been in my life for exactly half of it!!!!!!

Had a great weekend over at Sirstampalot and everyone managed to finish all the projects. Today my card is a variation on one of the projects we made, hope you like.

Love n Hugs
