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 #894

Here is my desk today: 



My desk is much the same as last week. I haven't a lot to share - I had a virtual retreat last week with 3Quarter Designs. I have a lot of projects half started. I will share when I have something to share!! Then this week I have another - Black and White and Wow...I will share some of this when I have something finished. I did do this little 4 by 4 make which was a first little challenge...


I have taken photos of the ICADs up to July 16th:


These are blogged here

I made a couple of cards using a stamping on acetate technique:


Each July I usually do a Junk Journal July - I will just share the first couple of pages. I made a journal using used commercial greetings cards.




This is introduced by Ink and Page.

At the weekend Sophie and I went to see Lightscape in the Botanic Garden. Before we went we did a bit of Cricut crafting making this mug for Kevin.


This picture is from Lightscape:


Happy crafting - hope to get around you all at some stage...
Happy WOYWW!

Gecko Galz July ATC Challenge


    

These are my makes for the Gecko Galz


with a freebie image set. 

The theme this month is Vintage toys.



I used the ATC backs on scraps of brown card and then the fussy cut images. 
These ATCs contain just items from the freebie sheet.



The next one is my favourite.


I will link these to the challenge.

Conjurer of Dreams July ATC Challenge

             

These are my makes for the 

Conjurer of Dreams


with a freebie image set. 

The theme this month is Christmas in July.

As I live in Australia I had to do this challenge - these images could be used as our Christmas in December!


I used the ATC backs on scraps of blue card and then added the images (and title) fussy cut from the image set.
I then added some gems and added glossy accents to the hat on this first one.




I will link these to the challenge.


Happy Crafting!
