Just realised that it is Wednesday again -
so better write a post to link to the Stamping Ground.
Here's my desk picture for WOYWW 609!
It looks rather dark as I am taking the photo towards a bright window.
Also it has a dark cloth on the table. When I left the UK, I left my waterproof crafting tablecloth behind (bright pink with tulips). I bought more of the fabric here but noticed it rolled up in the corner the other day. I cut the piece in half - half went on here - the other half in my messy area (see below). It is black with coffee words all over it.
Anyway - on my desk you may be able to see new goodies. I won a prize from Uniko and these stamps and stencils are what I chose...
I am in the process of applying Gelatos through a Chrysanthemum stencil.
You can also see my diary balanced on my Cricut.
This is my messy area - part way through another journal page.
So what else to show you? A taste of what I did in January 2017 - That year I challenged myself to make an ATC every day - these are a few...
Hoping you are all keeping well...
Fabulous journal pages Susan. Well done on winning that prize. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #10
ReplyDeleteLovely pages - really love the first with the doodles. I am so crap at doodling so it looks good! Interesting to see gelatos thru a stencil. That is a technique I never thought would work! Hope to see the final page at some point, but I might have to jump the gun and give it a go myself. I love a new technique....
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW to all!

Put the Gelatos on the stencil, then rub with your fingers into the spaces.
ReplyDeleteMorning Susan. Congrats on your prize. Enjoy using it all! Great pages - you have been busy this week - unlike me!! That ATC challenge you gave yourself was some challenge! Did you complete it? Certainly the few you have chosen to show us today look great. Well done.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Your journal pages are great! I particularly like the teal coloured pages because it's one of my favourite colours. Even though it has florals on it, it reminded me of an under the sea type image with the natural colours at the bottom. Well done on the prize win too! Stay safe and keep smiling, Lisa-Jane #2
ReplyDeleteI love your journal pages - the doodling one is quite spectacular, and the little ATC's are fabulous. Lovely to see so much creativity going on, and congratulations on winning a prize.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, stay safe and well,

Fabulous journal pages, your January zentangle is gorgeous, hugs, Lori m
ReplyDeleteCool that January page is fabulous, I love everything about it! In fact you’ve used lovely bright colours throughout your post today which brightens up a dull Welsh day for sure! The chrysanthemum stencil is lovely and looks very Japanese, I do like it.

ReplyDeleteHow fun to see your craft area Susan! Congratulations on winning the Uniko prize - one of my favourite stamp companies! That Crysanth stencil is gorgeous isn't it - I'm amazed at the gelatos working! Vicky x

Oh I love your wander lust pages and especially was struck by the doodling for January. An ATC a day what a big ask! BJ#25
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely projects, Susan. I especially love the journal page with your grandmother on it. I've got pictures a bit like that of mine - she was quite a fashionista in the 1920s! I've also got photos of her in her VAD nursing uniform in WW1, and a collection of very touching letters written to her by the soldiers she nursed. I love your collection of ATCs as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW,

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Your journal pages are awesome! I love working with Gelatos but I have never used them on a stencil. I will have to give that a try!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win, and I love your journal pages - especially the ones you're not happy with, they're lovely! Funny how we all see with different eyes, so to speak.

What a lovely win, I've had a win this week too! I love your colours in 'January' Also love the idea of making an ATC's every day. I did run a swap years back but the forum seems to have disappeared now (been away from blogland for a few years!) I've still got a few left but dated 2010! Stay Safe! Happy Crafting -Happy late WOYWW!? ((Lyn))
ReplyDeleteThanks for your return visit, Susan - I'm glad you enjoyed my post.
ReplyDeleteSee you tomorrow!
