WOYWW #736

  

It is Wednesday so I am linking to the Stamping Ground

 - and it is Week 736 - 

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 #736

SO here's my desk!


Rather a mess and probably with some of the things visible that were on my last 'desk'!
 Certainly the orange folder which was a prize from Mrs A - the turquoise note book was another prize from Mrs A (The Butterfly Challenge) which arrived this week.
You might be able to see two sets of ATCs which came from a friend with whom I swap every month.
At the front is my latest journal page (blogged this morning) - waiting for a little white Posca...

Not the usual amount to share... During the last two weeks, Kevin and I have been up in Queensland with son Matty, granddaughters Jas and Isa, and daughter Sophie. The first week we were sailing around the Whitsundays in glorious weather.



We saw whales, dolphins and turtles and many fish whilst snorkelling.


In the second week Matt took another group on the boat while the rest of us stayed in an apartment in Airlie Beach before flying back to Melbourne. We returned the girls to East Gippsland and their Mum at the weekend.

During that second week we say the giant mango!


On Friday we took the girls to see the Midnight musical (based on Cinderella) and the Lume exhibition of First Nation art.




Now that I am back I need to catch up on the ICAD Challenge and all my other crafty projects!
Wishing you a happy week...and hope to get around to you all this week...

Happy  WOYWW!

Addicted to Stamps and More #450 die cuts/stencils

 



This is my Die cut/Stencil project...for Challenge #450 at Addicted to Stamps and More

I have made a hexagon card using the tutorial from Beccy's Place

I used white card and a paper from Francheville 6 by 6 R. Spencer Warlukurlangu Paperstack.
 I used two scalloped circle dies and a butterfly die.


I was delighted to receive a prize from Mrs A of the Butterfly Challenge this week and will link this card to the current challenge #184.

Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - Term 2 Post #23


     This is my next inspiration for the Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - Term 2! 

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group




I started with a 'use-up' page in my small journal - pages coved with black acrylic. I then collaged this with a paper from the pack.


I then added the images from the pack - Michelle's one coloured in browns and my second version coloured with spritzed blue Distress Oxides


Finally I added the quote from Mark Twain and some white Posca Pen...
