It is Wednesday so I am linking to the Stamping Ground
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 #763
Here's my desk!
Now you can see the journal page which blogged the other day. You can also see some pieces of upcycled cardboard that I am using for a junk journal.
So we got home on Thursday - just in time to share a workshop with my friends in the UK Stampers Network. This was 8pm Thursday their time/ 7am Friday my time.
I demonstrated how to make this 'clutch bag gift box' (and matching card)
which you may have seen on my blog before based on a video by Monica Hayward.
These were my examples
We went to the first day of the Australian Tennis Open in the Rod Laver arena, looked after Ollie for 24 hours and now today we are off to Perth for 10 days - to see my sister and her husband (who are over from Devon) and their son and family who live there.
Probably no crafting for a while and I am not sure if I will be able to post next week!
Hope to get around to you all this week...
Happy WOYWW!
I hope you enjoyed the tennis! it s being shown here on a subscription channel I don't have so I've not seen any of the action but it's a bit early when they play so I probably wouldn't anyway... have a good trip away and see you when you can! Helen #1
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your family time Susan. Did you get to see Andy Murray as he was knocked out in the first round. Safe travels. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately not - we saw the first round Sinner match and the Sakkari one. And they did not televise Andy Murray!
DeleteYour clutch projects are awesome! Have a fabulous time with your family!

Beautiful clutch bag boxes, very pretty, enjoy the family time, hugs, Lori m
ReplyDeleteI love using recycled materials as well! How funny crafters can be - they will pay a ton for stuff but also try to use free resources when they can. Go figure. Still keen on those ATCs...
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW Day!

Your clutch bags are beautiful. Great idea linking the tags with ribbon, just remember have some ribbon that would do nicely - must go look for it. Happy WOYWW. Angela #15
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are Livin' the Life Susan! The clutch and card sets are awesome! I'm always saving pieces of cardboard too for bookmaking and journaling! Enjoy your travels! And aren't you lucky to not have to deal with dreaded snow❄️! Lindart #18
ReplyDeleteSuper clutch bag gift box what a great workshop. Looking forward to seeing what/how you use the cardboard in the junk journaling. Hugs BJ#14
ReplyDeleteThe gift box and card looks fab and your desk amazingly colourful, I must make more room in mine to add more arty things! Have fun on your travels...Tennis? Makes me think of hot sun and strawberries and cream! Happy WOYWW ((Lyn)) #16
ReplyDeleteHave a fab time in Perth, don't worry at all about posting here, it'll be so nice to catch up with fam from the UK. Talking of which, your dedication at 7am for UK Stampers is wonderful, and a great project to boot. I admire your discipline in getting up and getting on SUsan! I bet the tennis was a great day, it's on pay per view here so we're only getting very selected highlights in the sports section at the end of the news each night....and I suspect that as soon as there's no Brits left in the competition, we won't even get that. Envying you the sunshine this month too!
ReplyDeleteYou apologised for posting late, but look at me!I am mega late with my comments.
ReplyDeleteLove your post, so much to see , you have been a really busy crafter whereas I have done very little.
How good to have family in Perth. My excuse is an accident o nTuesday resulting in a day at hospital. Broken ribs and a mess Of a split knee. Wont be doing much in the immediate future.
HUGS, NEET 7 XX
So sorry to read this Neet. Get better soon...
