WOYWW #203

This is Wednesday and that means there are a large group of people who are exposing, flaunting, displaying, boasting, brandishing, broadcasting, flashing, flourishing, parading, revealing, show and telling, showcasing - handy owning a Thesaurus! - their work desks. 
I blame that Julia for all this, I led a quiet life until I alighted on her blog one Wednesday ......................and the rest is history.

Following on from last week, and all your wonderful comments for which I thank you and apologise if I did not get back to you ....................... one found desk, one found heat gun, lots of embossing practise!!!!

WOYWW #202

Thank you girls and boys ........ 
today being Wednesday we are all desk hopping via Julia's inviting blog...........

My desk................
It's in there somewhere!! 
 I know it is .......... it didn't escape while I search for my heat embossing gun ........... it can't get out the door!!  lol

Happy WOYWW day!

WOYWW #201

I'm away with the fairies this week!!
Actually it's Tinkerbell, lots of prints of her.  I am colouring her ready to make ATCs for a new swap.  Fanciful Flying Things.   Not a thing but a fairy!

I love Angels and fairies, but I settled on Tinkerbell cos I thought she would be easier to colour!!

So this is my workdesk this week and if you want to know more. ..... then click the tab at the top where all will be explained. 
You can even see the desk belonging to our leader - Julia.

Happy WOYWW Day!

April Card swapping

I have been so busy this month and we are only in the first week!!!
I have managed to fill my quota in the swap shop and these will be going in the post tomorrow.

I entered the 1 to 1 swap twice so I have a bright St. Georges day card and one for spring.  




The white card had embossed corners 
but the image looked lost so I added a red square to match the outfit. 
 

Daphne was coloured with my infamous pencils and then I formatted the Daffodils poem in Word and popped Daphne in front.  She is so needing Spring to come!!!




We had two additional swaps this month - Different take  and Teabag Folded.


My different take was my first Easel Card, I found this a lot easier than I imagined.  I used an image from FarFarHill and  added a few buttons and feathers.  I hope my partner likes it.




For the Teabag Folded card I punched a circle from some blue paper for the medallion and then from the same blue  paper used a border punch to bring out the dark blue in the medallion.  A blue peeloff and square jelly sentiment completed this.



This card is just simple but the sentiment is mega!!  I added three black beads to the side bars to finish.

Fashionista Blog Hopping

One of my favourite designers is having a blog hop and never having been on one I thought I would give it a go ........................especially at it is Fashion.  Good old black & white fashion.  
So  off I have been, collecting freebies along the way and looking at some fantastic cards made with the designs.  I think that the designers have done Paulette proud.
Take a look, settle down with a cup of coffee (or tea) and go for a stroll.  You can start here.

Enjoy!

WOYWW #200

I am so excited - can't show you my desk - it's boring!  full of ATCs drying and acrylic painted things - don't really know what I am doing so at the moment it is known as 'me dolloping'.

Listen ..........I went out yesterday, spending money............. yep! all mine to spend............ on what I wanted......... last birthday, Christmas, Mother's day ............... come home to mama!!! 
Haven't I always said the my daughter is a treasure - they both are cos my other daughter has FLOWER SOFT she doesn't want - doesn't want!!!!  oooohhh!  calm down....... deep breaths ....... I have had a great time in the craft shops - well! two shops.

 I bought some stamps, ink pad and stickers, not much there to tell the truth - noooo ............. there was lots and lots there but I am scrooge! and this is MY money .......

then we went to a stationers - before it became a craft shop ........
and this little (big) bag just jumped into my hands...........

It says Grab Me!

So I did!
It was an half price thingy - lots of you probably already have one (I don't go out very often - saaad) but this is the first one I have seen in real life, I have read about them while smurfing but  .......... there it was ....  
Awfully Jolly Good Value.......... paper, decoupage, stamps, labels, washi tape, I could go on .................... sigh!

Now isn't this more exciting than looking at a boring desk ............ if you want to see untidy, messy, painty, inky proper, crafty, arty desks go follow the link on the WOYWW tab above and see what this woyww thing is all about ........... and enjoy yourself ............. I'll join you later as I am a bit busy at the moment with one thing and another ............................... and there's ribbon............ felt flowers...............
