Hello peeps,
Hope everyone is tickety boo and enjoying  ( if you are lucky enough ) the spells of sunshine that some parts of the country  have been having. Here in Yorkshire we have had some wet, dull and very humid days and nights. I can't seem to cope with the humidity these days, think it's an age thing, I feel really drained and am not sleeping too well, the saying "limp as a wet lettuce" springs to mind. lol
Any way I have managed to be productive this week, even though I managed to nod off sat at my desk, adding a stiff neck and a wet shoulder  ( bet that was a pretty picture... NOT! ) to my woes.
So to the desk, I have taken  pictures to the left, front and right for your perusal lol

Left side

This 'stuff' was on the front of my desk as I had been making a tag and card for a belated Birthday gift for my friend and I had to move it out of the way to take the pic of the tag.



 Front

Glitter, glitter everywhere lol, I like how using the lace for the background turned out, will be using that technique again. The technique on the dress form was to use double sided sticky tape a mask and glitter. I didn't have a mask so improvised by sticking the ds sticky tape to the right side of the dress form, used an embossing folder to get the pattern, then used my craft knife to gently cut round each swirl to enable me to add the gold glitter first then peeled off the rest of the backing to add the purple glitter. Way too long and fiddly !! Guess what has risen to the top of my 'neeeed' list? yep a stencil or mask, it's a must for this technique me thinks.

The sentiments are from a great site called Create with tlc,  here  go check it out if your looking for wordart, sentiments, vintage images and freebies.

Right

These two gorgeous teddies are Eden on the left and Dorothy on the right and are my daughters birthday present from her dad, wrapped and little finger spring to mind. lol  Little did we know when we bought her a teddy for her first Christmas it would lead to a passion that grew with her. They are adorable though, Happy soon to be 26th Birthday Katie x

I received another two ATC's

Hello peeps.
Hope everyone is getting back into the swing of things after the ATC extravaganza? I still have some ATC's to arrive yet, though I have received 3 more since last week, see pic below. Thank you Toni love how you cut the WOYWW letters, I have shied away from getting those small letter stamps as they are hard to line up, why didn't I think of this derr, thank you also for the extra goodies you sent. Thank you Christine love the back ground, of course, as it's purple! and thank you Ali, flowers and Zen-tangles, perfect.

This week I have been having a shuffle round in my craft room trying to make it look  tidier and create a bit more room for new stuff !! Alas I am fighting a losing battle, so not too much going on on my desk at the mo. Last weekend I bought one of the X-Cut alphabet dies and have frustratingly been trying to get it to cut, hence the Cuttlebug and Big Shot on my desk. I had to google  for info, and found it is a common problem but the suggestions didn't work for me. I have now managed to work out a recipe that works in my Big Shot, big thank you to Anne ( Bollyanne ) for your help and info. Also on my desk are a couple of pieces of card that I'm trying a background technique on (wish they would hurry up and dry). There is also a nude tag on my mini easel waiting for inspiration to strike lol, a dress form die cut, cut from packaging, loved the colour and too nice to throw away, what was I saying about creating 'more room' lol, and a storage tower containing the newly cut alphabet.

I am posting this late Wed evening so will start my desk hopping tomorrow, see you then.
Happy Art Making

Hello peeps,

Goodness,  how quick this week has gone, we are round to Wednesday and WOYWW once again. I hope everyone enjoyed the WOYWW4  birthday and has or is waiting to receive their ATC's. I have received three lovely mini works of art so far, so I thought I would share these and some pictures of the mini friend quote album, with you today.

These are the two designs of ATC I made for the swap.

'Bliss Flourish' on the left                                         and                                     'Butterfly Bliss' on the right

And here are three of the ATC's I have already received

Thank you so much ladies love them all, it was so nice to receive your 'Happy Mail'

Here are the pics of the mini quote album I made for my friends birthday, there are quite a few but you can whizz through them lol

I met my friend for coffee and gave her this gift with a box of chocs, which she said thank you for, but she didn't open it and I still haven't heard anything from her so don't know whether she liked it or not!  Oh dear, wish I had friends who shared my love of crafts. 

Ah well I still have more happy mail to come lol

Happy Art Making

Hugs to all
