WOYWW





My first post for WOYWW - a day early, does that matter?! I'm out at an evening meeting with work tomorrow after being at work all day so doubt I will feel like doing much when I get back ;-) (Apart from having a large glass of wine obviously!) So here is my workdesk today - actually I don't have a permanent workspace, I have to use the dining room table. I do have all my craft stash to hand though in various drawers and cupboards.

Anyway, back to what is going on on my desk this week. My new Milton and Co bunny stamp arrived yesterday so I couldn't wait to try it out! I'm planning to watercolour the bunny for a baby girl's 1st birthday card.

I've also been playing with some clear embossing powder which I haven't tried before. I used a floral stamp and a purply pink ink with the clear embossing powder over the top. I've also added a bit of glitter and am very pleased with the result! The punched stars were left from another project and just happened to be lying around!

Finally, I can't resist my Smirk stamps - another recent addition to my stash. I've done a couple of cards with them so far and have coloured the images with my Sakura Glaze pens which makes them look really shiny and funky!

I'm probably not going to get much time to craft now till the weekend :-( I might have to do an early post next week too (or a late one) as we are off to Centerparcs for the week, yippee!

    Welcome! great WOYWW - oh my, aren't you tidy! Glad you've enjoyed the embossin gexperience - it'll get your nerve up for trying all sorts of techniques and images with it. Fun to come! The little Milton bunny is cute - I expect you'll get a lot of use from him. Is that a pad of multi colour sheets I see (with the square colours on the cover???)

    Ha ha , it's only tidy because I have to keep putting it all away! I'll take a pic to show you from about 3pm on a Saturday afternoon when I've been at it for a few hours instead of just one hour next time lolx

    @ Julia - yes multicoloured sheets, textured cardstock, got them on ebay for about £3, great eh?!

    PS where do you guys have your workspaces? Maybe I need to move mine to spare room

    Welcome to WOYWW!! Now you're here you'll never leave! Love your new stamp and hope to see the finished card!! I must admit I hardly ever use anything other than the clear embossing powder over any colour, I usually buy the big jars of it and put in in a small sandwich size clear tub, so I can either spoon it over or dip it in! Your workspace looks very neat and tidy

Here we are again on a dark and cold Wednesday morning! Had to wrap up warm to pop into the conservatory earlier to take the photo! It is still ok at the moment for crafting with the heater on, in fact it gets quite cosy, but not sure what it is going to be like when the temperatures tumble further over the next few days. Well, it's all a bit of a tip this week really! I'm thinking of getting rid of the sofa and getting a table instead seeing this is what it tends to get used for nowadays. You can see more of my glittery christmas trees in the foreground, I have had such fun making those. The card on the desk is a quickie card I made last night for a bereaved colleague (made with a lovely Penny Black Stamp). Really need a good tidy up now, but think I will finish off the Christmas cards (it will be nice to make something other than Christmas cards again!) and then have a good blitz. Bit of a quick post today as have to dash off to work. Pop over to see Julia at the Stamp...

WOYWW - 103

Morning fellow WOYWWers! Well I'm still struggling to balance work, new second home and card making, but I have managed to attend a couple of local classes recently and also managed to spend a couple of hours making cards on Sunday, hurrah! The results you can see on my desk. Feel like I've lost my mojo a bit though as because I haven't been at my desk for so long I can't remember where anything I need actually is, lol! A couple of photos of said house for you also now we have some furniture! The wood floor you can just about see in the photo of the living room is now sanded and is going to be varnished by my own (probably very sticky!) hands over the weekend! I'm also planning a bit of a revamp of the curtains in the same room although sewing really isn't my strong point. Will share the results if they aren't too bad ;-) So, if you have no idea what WOYWW is all about, pop over to Julia's blog at the Stamping Ground and check it out. PS APOLS TO ALL MY...

What's on your work desk Wednesday 61

Image
Wednedsday again and I haven't posted since last Wednesday, oh dear I'm slipping! Despite having two days off work Monday and Tuesday I still don't seem to have done all that much crafting. I have been concentrating mainly though on a mini book for my Dad for his 70th and have completed six pages of that so I suppose that counts as at least six cards! It's not quite finished yet but I promise to share it when it is. It's the first scrapbook type thing that I've ever made, so not as professional looking as some I have seen, but hopefully he will like it. My craft space is getting messier by the day, it really needs a tidy up I think! I've taken a picture of the conservatory from the outside as a few people last week weren't familiar with the English love of these constructions! Ours is not a posh UPVC one though which the majoirity are, it is basically a wooden shack with windows, ha ha! For those of you who were concerned about me overheating last ...
