This picture shows the challenge - 

I was having a go at weaved edge cards, experimenting with the different papers in my stash to see which worked best. This one probably didn't cut so well.
I was following this you tube video

WOYWW #815

   

It is Wednesday so I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

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 #815 


I'm not sure what I have been doing this week but not a lot of crafting!
On my desk easel you can see a couple of the mini albums I have been making recently - one is in the featured post above, the other from here.

What have I been doing this week?
Several ATCs:


A master board from a Zoom craft and chat with UKSN:


We went to the Australian Open on Monday.


We saw Coco Gauff play Sofia Kenin


and Jannik Sinner versus Nicolas Jarry.




The veggie patch is doing well...such that we have placed more than we can use out for the neighbours...


Sophie has been round and put together calendars for us to add to. 


This was my January - just a quick collage from scraps, on paper, until we got organised with our usual books.


Finally a sunset...


Happy WOYWW and HAPPY 2025!




Addicted to Stamps and More - Any Occasion #484

 


The above is my Any Occasion project...for Challenge #484 at Addicted to Stamps and More


This card started with a kraft card blank matted with a  plaid paper from my stash.
I then added the stamped image using a couple of stamps - one the Bright and Happy Stamp from CMYK stamps by We R memory keepers. This used three stamp pads to produce the multi coloured image.  The coffee words are a stamp from Kelly Stamps.
To finish I added some dots...



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

  Happy Crafting!

Creative Warriors January 2025


This is my next inspiration for the Creative Warriors

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group

Today I am sharing another mini album. I have made several of these in the last few weeks. I transferred the dimensions to my Cricut making the pages east to cut and score.

The booklet forms 4 pockets in which I have placed tags.

I decorated each page with Michelle's Unbroken adding butterfly rub-ons.

The sentiments are mainly from Annette's Flutterflies.

The tags have images from Michelle's Reflective Prelude.

I am afraid I cannot provide links for these as the shop site is currently unavailable.

I am following my 'New Beginnings' theme as several other makes this January.






These are the tags - I haven't yet but I will probably add sentiments to these.



Happy Crafting!
