Hmmm - Wednesday again!! Another WOYWW - my ATC is done (I think!) ready for the anniversary in 3 weeks time... Welcome to my workdesk on what may be a fine sunny Wednesday but in probability will be dull and wet again!!
Tuesday night when I took these photos saw me working in my journal again - Paperartsy Fresco paints in moonlight and pansy (yes, I'm still in a purple phase!) and stamping with seedless preserves distress ink. Stamps are by Stampendous and I haven't used them for ages and ages!
I'll finish this off tomorrow!
There is also a sneak peak of a DT piece I'm working on - so had to hide that with the stencil.... and my latest toys, the fab new distress inks. I LOVE these new colours.
I was going to say I hadn't got anything new to show you - but have just disproved that statement!!!
The grungepaper flower is waiting for something suitable to use it on! As are the butterflies.
Hope you have a good Wednesday and I'll catch as many of you as I can. Till then, happy WOYWW!

Working on journals seem to be a very common theme on woyww. I probably should be working on ATC's. Hope you are going to participate.

Fabulous pages.. Love the colours and stamping.. Love the new distress inks! Have a happy week, Hugs May x x x#31
LOL! I was in a bit of a purple mood this week too. Must be going around...
Can't quite tell if those DI colours are NEW or just new-to-you. I have to say I don't keep up with the Seasonal DI releases but the blue and the green look interesting, and if that is purple at the bottom of the stack I may have to go shopping. You wicked temptress you!

Yes my desk is huge, 150cm x150cm and I have that extention on at the end as well, I need lots of room when I am creating as I do a few projects at a time. Cant wait to see the DT bit. I just got my new DI colours too, used the reinker already on the background

I can be one of the cool kids and say that I have the new Distress inks too. I can't wait to play with them. I recognized your stamps as oldie but goodies Stampendous ones right off the bat. You've made a great journal page with them. I'm proud that you have your ATC done. I need to work on mine. I had ideas but I got sick and they leaked out my nose, so starting at square one...
Loving those stampendous stamps, real pretty {i dont need them, i dont need them}
Happy Woyww, look forward to seeing your hidden project.

You can't go wrong with purple. My favourite colour.
I wore a purple dress to a Dance on Saturday and someone came up to me and told me it was a fabulous colour on me and that I should wear it often. Little did she know! Hee Hee.

I love the page in your journal - it's so pretty and delicate.
Thanks for stopping by my desk - have a great week
Love your stamped page, Helen - cool all in one (lovely) colour. Those stencils are awesome. I am in the process of drawing and cutting my own, something along these lines, using Inkscape and my Cougar cutting machine, but it's a long slow process!
Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #84

Hi Helen, it must feel good to be using those neglected stamps - they are lovely. The colours of the new ink pads look really pretty ... not Sir Tim's usual taste, more mine in fact :) Too late to wish you a happy day so have a happy and crafty week instead. Elizabeth x #68
Isnt seedless preserves the most gorgeous colour, I have ordered the new ones just waiting for them to arrive. Thank you for visiting me and am feeling much better today. Hugs, Amanda #104
