WOYWW #860

        

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 #860


On my desk easel is where I have got to with Trovember - add one piece of collage each day in November - this is a very quick challenge each day!

Since that photo I added the next prompt - Add something that beeps - can you spot it?


At the front of my desk is  a number of pages which I have been making with serviettes on book pages - the next step is to make them into envelopes but I'm not that happy with the results.


Also on my desk is a junk journal page, part made, from an Art by Marlene workshop. I will share the finished page next week. This was part of a virtual retreat that really starts tomorrow - so I have a busy weekend ahead. Not sure how much I will be able to do as I also have Hydro and an Osteo appointment tomorrow. We have just taken Ollie home and now I 'm about to get ready for my book group Christmas dinner. This is at a college where the students run a restaurant.

I have been continuing the Christmas card challenge at Beccy's Place which is adding to my Christmas card stash but I have fallen behind the last couple of days with having Ollie. My last one was U - an Upright Diamond Fold - but I now have V and W to do...


I have just realised my Conjurer of Dreams post didn't post - Better sort it out!!



Fingers crossed I will visit you all this week...

All for now... 
Happy WOYWW!

  This is a make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

Today I made a simple card starting with a white card blank.

I matted this with pale grey card and then two strips of TARTAN.

I then added a retro card TOPPER from Gecko Galz matted on more pale grey. The Topper also has a snowman wearing a TOPPER. Finally I added a sentiment.

Third Seven Days of Trovember

  

 I decided to join the November Trovember Challenge instigated by

Collage-Lab

I started with an A3 piece of substrate.

Day 15 - Add a pattern.

The pattern is part of a dress pattern.

Day 16 - In the kitchen.

The jars of pickles are an image from Daphne's Diary.

Day 17 - Add 3 triangles.

These triangles came from a paper in the Bee Arty pack Sweet Affair. I am still trying to add some splashes of pink.

Day 18 - Add asemic writing.

I used a stencil from Scrapbookingncraft to add asemic writing to the triangles using saltwater taffy Distress Oxide.

Day 19 - Something hot.

The fireplace came from Extraordinary Things to Cut Out and Collage by Maria Rivans.

Day 20 - Add money.

This is the 2/3 point!

The image of $5 notes was printed from the internet.

Day 21 - Add something sweet.

These macarons came from the Bee Arty pack Sweet Affair.

Now onto the next 7...

Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards Challenge Day 21 CASE

This is a make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 13th year!

This card follows the prompt CASE yourself - Day 21

For the M prompt I made this die cut card.

Today I am CASEing this, making another die cut card.

It is very similar with a few differences.

I started with a white card base with a frame cut in red. The next shapes were in green followed by the central pieces cut from a paper from a Francheville Christmas Paper pack.

To finish I added embellishments: images from Dylusions Christmas collage sheets and Christmas Joy from 49 & Market!

I will add this to the challenge
