April Challenge - Reminder post.

    

This is a new Outlawz challenge which will scroll through the themes
Songs and Rhymes
Colour
Greetings
Sketch

This month it is a Sketch where your make should be inspired by this idea, chosen by Claudia:



This is my second make:


I used a white card base followed by a mat of lilac paper under a neutral paper. I used the same paper as another mat under the smaller rectangle of that same paper. I added the image with a couple of decoupaged flowers. I added some lace and the paper flower.


The image is from Conjurer of Dreams - the progressive challenge on the Facebook group.


 


Happy Crafting!

Here is my workdesk:


Not much different from last week but you can see the little wooden stamp that I used on my next page in my tiny pieces of art: This month the theme is Easter/Furry Friends so this is my second page: - the theme is Aussie furry animals so I chose bandicoots.


The other thing I am going to share is a couple of images of a junk journal that I have put together with swaps.





Happy WOYWW! I did manage to get round to some of you last week but I hope I do better this week.



Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #515. Diecuts and/or Stencils


  



This is my Die cut/Stencil project...for Challenge #515 at Addicted to Stamps and More


This is an ATC made from scraps on my desk - a little pink card then patterned paper followed by a die cut fairy sitting on a leaf. The leaf was from my stash, the fairy die has been in my collection for along while.

Hope you will enter the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge! Do hop over to see the fabulous inspiration from my team-mates!

WOYWW #879

       

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 #879

Just been trying to work out what time Sarah will post as now that both countries have changed the hour we are now 9 hours ahead of you...

Here is my workdesk:


You can see a few new Visible image items that have just come in the post plus some junk journal makes to swap...


The gift bags that were on my desk last week have now been made into folios - one on my desk and one on the easel. This one you will see on Conjurer of Dreams


The one on my desk is for an Alice swap and these pictures give you an idea of it:


The other swaps are some altered envelopes and paper bags to hold ephemera.


The altered paper bags had to have serviettes adhered to them...


This is my next page in my tiny pieces of art: This month the theme is Easter/Furry Friends so this is my first page:


Also on my desk easel you will see another page in my whimsical journal which is an ongoing project. This used a Conjurer of Dreams image.


Happy WOYWW! I did manage to get round to you all last week but it was late in the week.  It will probably be the same this week.  I hope you all had a good Easter. It was also my Birthday on Easter Saturday so we had a nice family celebration that evening. With there being no postal deliveries on the public holidays, I am still getting Happy Birthday mail which is lovely!
