WOYWW, atc and a move around!

Well its Wednesday again and WOYWW again and boy did I miss joining in last week but was getting over a fluey bug and then a very hectic week at work meant no time for crafting apart from one card which you can see here which I sent to my good buddy Sandra who has also been poorly. Anyway managed to make two cards last night and you can see one of them here (well almost....lol).



 I have discovered my stampin up punches make good weights to hold fine dies down on a card whilst they are drying! Anyone this was a quick get well card for a work colleague. So on my desk which i know is not messy (it never is.....lol) are nesties,card, punch,quickie glue pen,my beloved iphone,card,scissors and a digi image to right which then became this card. And the more observant of you will notice that suddenly a bed has appeared to the left of my desk, this is because i have had to move the room around as we are having a kitchen refit in two weeks and i need to move my worktop from downstairs (in my old craft area) to upstairs soon once i get it fitted by my lovely next door neighbour as hubby doesnt do DIY.....lol

So now my craft room is slowly filling up with packed boxes from my kitchen and i am still packing,me thinks its going to take a while and i am not good with mess or disorder!!

I also received this gorgeous ATC from Queen Lightwell aka Deeyll, isnt it lovely, fab colours and she also included this timmie mask,arent I a lucky girl :)

Anyway time to sign out and catch some blogs before work and i aim to spend the evening browsing some more,so have a super day all and if you want to join in the fun just hop over to Julias blog for the full info.

WOYWW and some colouring

Hi all,just a quick post to show you my fairly bare desk as not much going on at the moment apart from practising my colouring last night before bed. You can see the finished card here.

You can see colour charts, flexmarkers in the pot(promarkers hiding to the right),stamped image,fine tips for my promarkers and the image stamp.You can also see my atcs in front of my distress inks that i received to celebrate the woyww 3rd anniversary,need to find a special home for them. I was also watching last night the last episode of Greys Anatomy on my lappy. In the red box are glues,broken dolls house table(yep still not fixed it) and tapes and to the right stampin up punches and the wooden box contains charms.

I also received this fabulous atc from Sandra all the way from Australia

And the reason for showing my desk is all down to Julia over at Stamping Ground who every wednesday opens her blog to the world to allow us to have a nosey peep at a mix of desks. Right i am off to get ready for work,catch you all later,x

WOYWW and my mini album completed

Hi all and its time again to reveal our desk,crafting area or floor to the nation. Julia our lovely hostess over at Stamping Ground asks that we come and play and have the chance to visit each other and find out what we are all up to this week. So this is my desk for you all to peek at :)

You can see the makings of my album complete with matted and labelled photos and programme from bus show,had made the album when i had a crafting session (pics here) and just needed to finish the cover and add the photos which after 4 yrs was time to print out....lol. You can also see  the gorgeous atc's that i received from Twiglet, BJ and Julia. My green bin,dst and scissors(use this pair just for dst), iphone for emergency back up if internet goes again! red box containing my new stamps and to the right some old bus magazines which i have been cutting up.

cover of bus album

Me and my hubby visited a bus show 4 years ago with our youngest son Peter,had a great time having rides on the buses,taking photos and chatting with the drivers so thought it was time to do the album and give to hubby on Fathers Day. Used card from stash, Tim Holtz 'retro grunge' papers, martha stewart punches, jigsaw pieces,old bus magazines, papermania portobello road vintage stamp set,black soot distress ink and peel off letters.
Right thats me done now,managed to visit and leave comments on all but 5 blogs last week (unable to comment or kicked me off!) but not sure will make it this week as back at work but i will do my best and i always visit peeps who have left me a comment.
Have a good day all,x

Celebration ATC's and my mojo is back :)

Hi all,well its wet and windy here and thats not my tummy.....lol. As i missed the special anniversary
WOYWW the other week due to my internet being down some lovely peeps this week have offered to trade with me so they are now all parcelled up and ready to go (two have been posted now) awaiting addresses. So these are my atc's.

Can you guess which ones for Julia our lovely host over at WOYWW?

I went mad first with the cosmic shimmers mists in my stash and then used the Creative Expressions cog mask and the lush distress ink peacock feathers to add another layer. Used the music stamp from Papermania urban stamps set Bird Print and then punched out some bunting using paper from stash and Stampin Up bunting punch. Added some bling from my stash and the lets celebrate is from another Papermania set called Portabello road - postage stamps and finally a computer on Julia's atc.

Hopefully my swop partners will not be peeking before they get them,now i need to go and make some cards before my mojo disappears,x
