WOYWW 207

It's Wednesday and that means WOYWW which, I'm sure you are dying  to know, stands for .......
'What's On Your Work desk Wednesday'. If you too would like to join in the fun then, take a pic of your work desk and share it with lots of other 'nosey', I mean like minded people. Hop on over to Julia's blog
Stamping-Ground for more info. Hope to see you there.


Hello peeps,
Hope everyone is A OK!  I am very late posting today, where does the time/days go? Ah well better late than never as they say. So on my desk are the tags I've made for the friend Quote mini (yes I know I should have had it finished  by now) though the deadline is the 30th  and I have been making ATC's for the anniversary swap soooo. At the back of my desk are some stamps I have been playing with. The plastic box  full of wooden blocks are my new blending tools, I removed the rubber  from some of my wood mounted stamps and got hubby to cut them into Timmy sized blocks and once I've attached Velcro I will have a block for each of my distress inks, Yippee! I'm not bothered about a handle as I just hold the block anyway.  The First Edition papers are ready to make the pockets for the tags.
So not too much going on on my desk, but I am off to have a hop about and see what's going on your desk.




Hope you have a great WOYWWednesday
Happy Art Making
Hugs
Lottie

    Hi Lottie
    what a great idea for the distress ink blenders the trouble is then having to store one for each colour. Love the papers on your desk very pretty
    Sending hugs and hoping you have a great day

    Hello there Lottie,

    I've thought of dis-mounting (haaa) my wooden stamps. Do you then use the acrylic blocks with them?

    Yes, let's swap!!! I'm sure I have your mailing address from last year but just to be sure can you email me? My email address is in my profile.

    Thanks for visiting me!!

    Happy WOYWW

      Hi Kay, yes I have a temporary spray adhesive and give the back of the stamp a quick spray and use an acrylic block. I have your address for the ATC and yes that is the correct address for me. See you when you get back. Take care

    Those blocks also make great back for shadow stamps, just cut some fun foam into shapes and put on the wood.
    Beautiful paper, going to make some gorgeous tags for sure.

    Like the idea of the blocks into blending tools
    You asked me if the splogies where a stamp? No it's just the distress stain slammed down!

    Lucky you with a handy husband, Lottie! I agree with you about the fancy DI felt holders - I have them and I find I have better control when I put my hand on the block.

    I did similar but used old chess pieces - saw that on YouTube, I think (LollyRot springs to mind - think it was her) and love mine. Pretty tags, too - I am a purple fan, if I'm honest :)
    Just catching up....
    Happy WOYWW!
