Playing with some stamps & halloween bag

Hi all,well it was rather wet and windy last night and that meant no trick or treaters so does anyone want a sweet.......lol. Anyway yesterday did a little playing with a magazine ( molly blooms christmas carnival )recommended by Sandra that i picked up in whsmiths on monday that came with some cute stamps and ended up making 6 mini simple christmas cards! So this is the finished first two cards (made them all the same)

stamped 1st image in rich cocoa brown & 2nd in black (preferred the black) and coloured with promarkers, used papers and greeting from the magazine.

magazine contents  ( lots of good ideas inside the mag )

Decorated a paper bag and filled with sweets for nephew

Thanks for popping by to visit and say hello and remember to take a sweet on the way out. Had a little play and have changed my blog background and have to say i love the leaves,have a good day all,x

WOYWW - spooky things!

Hi all, i am here and i did miss joining in last week with Julia and everyone  re'Whats on your workdesk Wednesday' but my craft room had been taken over during the week by the loft contents as it was being insulated. Luckily thats all done and after spending all day saturday putting it back was able to get back into my craft room retreat :)

Anyway this is a picture of my desk taken in the midst of making halloween tags for a swop over on Docrafts. I had made a spiders web using scal and my cricut for a stencil and used black soot distress ink over the top. You can also see my martha stewart cobweb punches (which i didnt use), diecuts cut out using the cricut,my ink pads in their named individual bags on a jump ring. The wreath is one i made at a workshop at Exeter craft show using gilded flakes and to the left hanging down is a silver spider bookmark i got from my friend Kelly who saw it and thought of me :)

So if you want to join in or find out a bit more about woyww, just pop over to see Julia at the Stamping ground . And this is the finished tag

And for those who asked about my crafting gloves from the last woyww i joined in you can find them here and they keep my hands warm and toasty.Well my old cat Mitzi decided she wanted to get our attention early this morning (5.30am!) so shall be coasting along today i reckon but will visit all blogs with the same numbers as me when i post over at Julia's blog and anyone who leaves me a comment,x
