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!

Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - Term 3 Post #11

 

     This is my next inspiration for the Creative Warriors Inspiration Team 

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group

I am using images from Annette's Bloom - a past Challenge.

This journal is almost full  - the pages left being mainly fabric ones - always a challenge for me...

This was my idea:

I started some quilted pieces I had made and stitched in place:

I printed the images on a Gelli pull and cut them out, adding black soot Distress Ink around the edges.

I then laid out the other images and sentiments where I thought They might go...

This was the final page:

Here's my desk!

This is how I left it on Saturday as we set off for a few days away...I was trying to get little bits out of dies. There are a few feathers printed on a Gelli Pull and cut out.

The table easel is obscured by two sets of ATCs I have just been sent - because they hide a journal page which I will blog later...

A couple of photos from last week before we set off, are these: the butternut squash are taking over...

Kevin making beetroot chutney outside:

We came to to the High Country of Victoria for a few days - so not much crafting being done! I did bring stuff to make a couple of sets of ATCs. I can't show you the first lot as I posted them before I took a photo. But these are the second using Gecko Galz freebies for this month's ATC challenge.

And I did bring a little cross-stitching:

The weather is much better today but we had some pretty grim days with torrential rain at the weekend. We drove up Mount Buffalo two days running and got two very different views:

Hope to get around to you all this week... one of my new year's resolutions is to comment on you all more often!

Happy  WOYWW!
