This picture shows the challenge -

 

This is a simple card starting with a white blank.

It then has a layer of blue typescript

 then a piece paper from my stash with shades of the two colours on it.

The sentiment and bird (extra red) are from Uniquely creative essential ephemera.

WOYWW #862

          

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #862

I enjoyed Trovember (adding one piece of collage each day in November,  a very quick challenge each day) so much that I looked for another set of prompts. I found 2020

These were the first 7 days:

But on my desk easel you will see there are a few more days...

 

Now Angela has found me the 2024 prompts so I will do that next. What to do with them afterwards though - I think I will use as masterboards but with adding a few more layers of paint/stencils etc. I will share as and when!

At the front of my desk is a sprinkle of circles - I am going to add these to some Christmas cards. I made them using the technique of a Michelle Grant workshop at the virtual retreat last weekend. It uses a stamp made from a tied up and blown up freezer bag. The part finished (yellow) journal page is on my desk easel.

Apart from that I have just completed my first week of Euflexxa -  injections in my knees and hips to help my arthritis, stiffness, pain, etc. I have two weeks to go - three injections in each joint over three weeks. I last had this done 18 months ago but it has worn off now. I am hoping that they are equally as effective. Plus Ollie has just been picked up...

Fingers crossed I will visit you all this week...I think I managed last week.

All for now... 

Happy WOYWW! 

Conjurer of Dreams ATC Challenge

          

These are my makes for the Conjurer of Dreams

MONTHLY ATC Challenge

with a freebie image set. 

The theme this month is Christmas Gnomes.

I used the ATC backs on scraps of blue card and then images fussy cut from the image set.

Finally I added some gold circular stickers.

I will link these to the challenge.

Happy Crafting!

Gecko Galz December ATC Challenge

 

       

    

These are my makes for the Gecko Galz

MONTHLY ATC Challenge

with a freebie image set. 

The theme this month is Christmas Wonderland.

I used the ATC backs on scraps of pink card and then the images and sentiments. I used pink distress ink around the edges.

I decided that the pink marker added to ground the sheep was not enough - so I added a pink boulder!

I will link these to the challenge.

I decided to put them on my December calendar.

Happy Crafting!
