Ready for the first of this year’s weekly card sketch challenges?
Read More »Something new-ish this way comes!
After the positive reaction to my last couple of card layouts series, and a fair few requests to be able to “play along”, today I will be launching a new card sketch series of blog posts and videos to inspire you in those missing mojo moments.
Better still, this year, you can get involved by sharing your creations with other challengees via a new Facebook group!

Another new series of weekly blog posts and videos starts today with a return to mixed media – woohoo!
This first one was more about me getting back into it after a long LONG break from anything really arty. I hope that you will join me and have a watch of the video.

For those that enjoyed my previous Mandala Monday series, a new series of free colouring designs launches today with a pun and an innuendo.

The title says it all really. What more can I say other than I hope that this year is a year to celebrate for us all.
PS, don’t forgot to pop in tomorrow as I will be sharing a whole bunch of new for ’22 “stuff”. I think that you are going to like it.
See you then.
John.
Well, the big day is finally here and I therefore just wanted to pop in and wish you all a very merry Christmas.
Hope you have had a good day whatever you chose to do.
I’ve been busy for the last few weeks making all sorts of blog content for the next year so I hope that you can join me in just over a week to see what’s new for ’22
PS, this is not my house. Nice though, isn’t it?
All the best,
John.
Well, there’s not much of the year left – somehow!
Now, the good news is that despite it getting harder and harder to remain relevant as a creative all-rounder in a shared space like the internet, I am going to give it another go in 2022 and have lots of exciting new content planned.
In order to give myself a good run up to this exciting new chapter, and now that the cardmaking series of blog posts made it to 100, I will be signing off for the remainder of this year.
There will still be a few bits and pieces that I have scheduled pop up but this blog and most of my social media pages, will be going quiet during December.
I hope you will forgive the absence.
You can of course lose yourself for a few hours whenever you like and plunder the archives here for all sorts from me dating back over 5 years to the present day – it’s a goldmine of random nonsense. Here are just a few of the categories and tags features on this site.

I really appreciate it and it is the reason I keep going.
Have an awesome festive month, whatever you choose to do – even if it is non-festive, and I will see you all bright and early in the new year!
Much love,
John.
