I have made this tag for the tag challenge using the free image. I printed this several times to make a handful of small tags. I then placed these in a slot tag - this is a Matty's Crafting Joy die. I added a few stickers to the base.

WOYWW #872

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 #872

Here is my workdesk:



I am trying to get this typed up quickly before I set off for Aquarobics. We have just dropped Ollie off...
On my desk you will see some dimensional dot paints - - I was using them to add bright dots to the collage above.

You will also see some tubs of very fine glitter - I don't usually 'do' glitter but this was to make a card for a swap. I followed Sam Calcott's video here 
So this is what my desk looked like:




I forgot to take a photo of the two cards I made before posting them but they were sparkly!


This is my week 8 of my Tiny Pieces of Art Year long challenge:
 The theme this month  is Still My Beating Heart.


The theme for this one is Love birds and items to use were washi tape and paper strips - I placed these as the background. I added extra lace, an image from Gecko Galz and a paper strip from Kaisercraft.

Another thing I made for a swap this week and which I also posted on the Gecko Galz Facebook Group - it used GG Alice images - is this little piece of fold out ephemera...






If you look through my February posts you will see lots of Valentines and hearts. Valentine's Day is a special day in our household as it is our wedding anniversary. And this year it was 50 years...here we are enjoying a cup of tea at our daughter's (and testing one of her cucumbers) on Saturday afternoon. 


This was after we had been to a Garden Centre - we wanted to buy some special plants to mark our anniversary. There I saw this marvellous display to mark the Chinese New Year...


That's all for today...

Happy WOYWW! I will get around all of you this week... but it may be late like last week - but better late than never!!



Addicted to Stamps and More - Make your Mark #506

 


This is my Make Your Mark project...for the Challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More



This ATC is made from a red card rectangle 2.5 by 3.5 inches, matted with some paper. To this I added the image (Kate Crane) coloured with markers and fussy cut. The sentiment is from an Art By Marlene sticker book.



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