WOYWW #874

  

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 #874

Here is my workdesk:

To the left you can see my Gel plate as I am in the process of making some backgrounds.

To the right I am making some junk journal ephemera - sort of little slides.

On the desk easel there are two journal pages and on the smaller one that finished 30 prompt collage.

These both featured images from Conjurer of Dreams.

I also work on my computer desk and I thought I would also share that today.

I decided I needed a second screen - I always used to have one but it must have been disposed of in one of the moves. Very useful. You can also see my Cricut Maker and Joy. On the light box is my printer - it is currently pretty high up but will see how that goes...

That's all for today...

Happy WOYWW! I promise to get around all of you this week... hopefully it won't be too late.

I saved the pages from my last two tiny calendars and used some of these to make my grid - prompt #1.

12 Months of Christmas Link Up March 2026

 

  

This is my DT make for the August Challenge

of The 12 Months of Christmas Link up...

This month the theme is "Peppermint Twist"

Our sponsor is

Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Today I have made a simple card using the paper from this: - how pretty are the colours?

 I couldn't choose just one!!

I started with a beige card blank and then matted it with 5 of the papers printed and cut to decreasing sizes of squares. I added the sentiment to the final square (Imagine That Digistamps - no longer trading).

I am sharing a little of my makes the Conjuror of Dreams DT.

You will see more of these, made with Conjurer Of Dreams images, on the 29th of the month. However the optional month's challenge is Mystical Animals

This is a glimpse of one of my makes: a Lunar New Year Fan... I was shown the idea of the fan construction in a swap group I am a member of Junk Journal Creative Swaps in OZ

It can be used as a pocket in a junk journal by just gluing two sides down and also as tucks in each blade.

See more on the 29th!

Outlawz March Challenge - Greetings

  

This is a new Outlawz challenge which will scroll through the themes

Songs and Rhymes

Colour

Greetings

Sketch

This month it is Greetings  where your make should be inspired by this idea, chosen by Jane:

Make a card for Mum, Mummy or a special lady. It could also be Happy Birthday or Thinking of You.

This is my card for my sister-in-law:

I used a white card base followed by a mat of patterned paper. I topped this with a metallic oval with the image on top, I then added the die cut for the sentiment which I printed on the computer.

Finally I added a few embellishments.

 

Happy Crafting!
