Well, what a great Wednesday it was last week, so many people made so many beautiful things for the WOYWWAC. I always knew you were
all supremely talented. Thank you for those of you who liked my - what I still think - pathetic - effort! I was amazed at the response. Well done again, Julia. Check out
here for all the fun each Wednesday.
This week, there isn't much happening. I've got a part done card which needs to remain secret for now though this shot hopefully won't give too much away.
And these arrived in the post Tuesday - the new Paperartsy Hot Pick stamps- yummy images, or what - and the grunge flower die (thanks Leandra for confirming so speedily, the combination of plates to use!) Can't wait to use those wonderful stamps. I feel some tags coming on. I love the bookmark that's come with it, but I won't be able to use it (except maybe in a book!)
I've also tried the tattered florals with some metal - wow! This is the Kiss Me Pink from TSS, stamped with one of Wendy's background stamps.
Sorry about the flash on the background!
I've got a bit of a supply ready for use from various papers, but I must get some fabric remnants to try - the fabric ones I've seen done on other blogs look amazing. I'll need to try and find a Saturday morning free to try and find somewhere locally that sells fabric scraps! it won't be this week as I'm going to the Craft Barn Extravaganza in Lingfield - can't wait! Am going to treat myself (as it's my birthday later this month) to a couple of bits (ha ha!).
Well, that's about it for me today, I'll try and get round you all later - I don't think I'll have time at work this week, so it will be later on probably. I will try and get this linked if Julia's up and about early!!
(EDIT - Woo hoo!!! I made the top 3 for the Stampotique colour challenge last week!!! See my card
here I am so chuffed!)

Congrats on being in the top 3. As for your working area ....love nosing at all your bits . Your flower is so beautiful and I love that you keep a box of cut paper flowers at the ready ...a thought that had crossed my mind.
Now I have seen that stamp sitting on your desk ...I want it ... now ...but in reality it will have to wait.
Everything looks very yummy and the metal flower is gorgeous!
Congratulations on being in the Top 3 too.
LOVE your workspace! And that flower is just all metal-y goodness *smiles*
I'm also playing along with WOYWW, so stop by when you get a chance.

HA! see, I knew we were twins! Tis my birthday later this month too. Alas, I doubt I will make it to Lingfield. I am so broke I am about to come out the other side into debt ridden penury :( Real life and acting grown up is just no fun *sigh*

That metal flower is AWESOME! and congratulations my friend, on being chosen for Stampotique, that is also, very AWESOME!

I don't know how you do it on the floor! (Man, that sentence sounded better in my head) I don't really have trouble taking pictures, I rather enjoy it. I'm still young, so still no problems on that area (this sounded better in my head too LOL)

Wow. It's all looking very productive. Very keen to know about your secret project going on. Super nosey me! See you at the CB and try those flowers thru the die backed with sticky canvas ( claudines stuff is good). Gives a nice support to the metal and another surface you can spray or goop!!
Love those flowers - they are awesome!
Have a good day

Those hot pick stamps look like they are worth investigating. Also like the look of some papers in the right hand corner of your desk shot.
