Hi all, it is that time again. Time for another WOYWW... this week I am going to keep it short, I hope. But, first let us give thanks to the wonderful Julia at The Stamping Ground for starting this blogfest. It is a time to run around the world and gawk at what other crafters/artist are working on. It is addictive and fun. I have not missed a week since I started. So here it is.
First, I have to show 2 more of the wonderful ATCs that I received in the recent anniversary swap.
The first is from Sandra Scott from the UK. and her blog is Stamping for Pleasure. The second is from May O'Connor also from East Sussex, along with the ATC there were 2 hearts and a gorgeous paper bag with the cutest angels on it. I can't wait to use them in a project. And there was also a wonderful silver butterfly. Thank you ladies. Soo, I had to make another ATC for myself and I ended up making an extra five since the backgrounds were already done. So if there is anyone that still has extras and would like to swap, I have 5 more ATCs that I am willing to swap with. Let me know.
Now, In a few months my scrapbook group will be heading to the beach for our annual retreat, this time for 4 days and 3 nights. Normally a couple of us make little gifts for the others and this year I have decided to make 2 different ATCs and a small mini album made from TP rolls. So I had to get started early.
This is the first. The second will have a beach theme. and other than that there is not much going on on my desk. I will show it anyway. I have a lot of projects to get through over the next few months.
On the left I have papers waiting to cut for my beach journal. I have decided that I don't want to do 12x12 pages right now. Since I made the travel journal for Italy. I need to do something different than the normal 12x12 papers. So stay tuned . I have cut most of my papers, and just want to decorate some of the ones that are not double sided. That is it for now hope you come back soon. The strips of paper next to the ATCs is some from the papers that I cut for the journal pages and I am using them as the background for the ATCs. Hate to waste good paper.

Love how you have done the strips on the ATC, must try that one. Thanks for stopping by BJ#4
ReplyDeleteHello Joy. Your retreat sounds like a wonderful idea. Scrappy friends with nothing to do but chat, crop......probably eat chocolate (I'm guessing) maybe a glass of wine just to be sociable and all that with a fab beach to walk upon. I wish I was coming Joy! WOYWW Hugs from you pal Helen 89
ReplyDeleteSounds like there is a lot of fun coming up, love the ATC's.

Lots of lovely creativity going on here. Love the ATCs you've received and the ones you've made. The forthcoming get together sounds fun. Thanks for letting us have a peep into your workspace today. Hope you have a good week. Hazel, WOYWW #27 x
ReplyDeleteI am the same as you I hate to waste anything and any little scrap can be saved and made into something of interest even if it is a patchwork greeting card. Thanks for sharing your space, I always look forward to seeing what you are upto.

Oh I am so envious of a 4 day 3 night get away with the girls. The longest I go away with my crafty girlfriends is 3 days two nights. I am happy for you. What fun that will be. What lucky girlfriends to receive such beautiful gifts.
ReplyDeleteYou know I hate throwing away scraps too and I am finally finding use for them on cards and now ATCs.
Come play on my desk when you are free.

Hi Joynana! Thanks for your visit :) I have lots of comments about the drawers on my desk, they are great & hold loads, but I have never shown the other 12 drawers behind my desk, they are also full! My new space works better for me now! You got some wonderful ATC's in the swap, I have yet to receive my two from the USA :( you have a busy desk going on there this week ! Bright Blessings!
