WOYWW #825

 

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 #825 

For me this is quite a clear desk!!

The main thing I have been doing is the cover of an altered book ( this week's Wanderlust)


I have also been making a junk journal cover on a travel theme. The journal pages inside I was given and they are just tied in at the moment (easy to take in and out) but I also intend adding some more signatures. The cardboard cover is covered with fabric.

On my computer desk I have some faux postage stamps that I have been making:


My featured post above is about another meander book. A friend suggested making the pages into pockets - I put ATCs in these and I have used the recent Conjuror of Dreams Progressive Challenge image.


Kevin has just harvested our crop of Butternut/pumpkins... looking forward to some soup!


And I have just finished a jigsaw...

That's all for now...


Happy WOYWW!

Mermaid ATCs

I have been taking part in the Conjuror of Dreams Progressive Challenge.

The most recent image I have received is of a mermaid.

I have used this to decorate a little meander book containing ATCs.


The idea of making the pages into pockets was suggested by a friend of mine, Laura...

I matted the card base with a piece of Art By Marlene paper.
I stamped this with a Carabelle Studio stamp in black Archival.
Alice is from Scrimpingmommy
The sentiment is from Art by Marlene and it just appealed to me!



LeighSBDesigns' March Challenge has a Wonderland theme so
I will add this card to Leigh's current challenge #39

WOYWW #824

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 #824 

Well we are back from Matty's and I am back in my craftroom - On my desk you can see some of the junk journaling things I have been making - some chunky tickets and a folded notebook based on this video. There are also, underneath this, two more that I have been sent as a swap. (I mentioned this folded notebook in Week # 821 after seeing Spyder's)

On the desk easel there is a St Patrick's Day journal spread - the images are from Conjuror of Dreams.





As I was away last week I didn't share the recent journal page I had done: - the cat is from Karen Yates at Michelle Grant Designs.


And a zine which I made during a UKSN Zoom - workshop by Mickey. 
This used a lot of Art by Marlene stuff





I missed out on the Conjuror of Dreams Progressive Challenge as I was away - but this is the card I made when I got back with last week's image.


On the way home from East Gippsland we called in at Yinnar. There was a sculpture festival to see. Some of the sculptures were along the main street; some were in a gallery.
These are some that we liked:



That's all for now...

Happy WOYWW!

Outlawz Challenge, March, Songs and Rhymes - Reminder

  

This is my reminder post for the Outlawz Sunday Song & Rhyme Challenge 

I do hope you will go and check it out! 

This challenge has no sponsors, but you do have the opportunity to win a top 3 badge.


Now on to the challenge!

 

Our Song/Rhyme this fortnight is from Margaret



I was thinking of fairies...



These images and sentiment come from Scrimpingmommy. I fussy cut them all and then layered them up on a cream card blank. 
The upper layers are on dimensional tape.


But as it is St Patrick's Day tomorrow I also thought of Irish little folk - leprechauns. This image and sentiment are from LeighSBDesigns and firstly a card I made some time ago...then a new one - not quite a leprechaun but that's what it made me think of!!



The second one has layers of green papers - one from Scrimpingmommy, one from Gecko Galz and one just in my stash.

 

I coloured the image with markers and cut it out. 
I will add this card to Leigh's current challenge #39




If you haven't already, please join our 
to stay up with all the challenges.
Thanks for playing along!




Happy Crafting!
