Morning and happy Wednesday to you - but not just any Wednesday - it's
What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, the anniversary edition! Amazingly, the brainchild of Julia is 3 years old today! For 3 years we've been gathering - looking - snooping - at the desks and other places we create.
Julia, we salute you and thank you - and hopefully you are enjoying Spain! So, this isn't going to be a particularly short post sorry! Surprise, I have some new stash - some goodies I treated myself to - and a blog giveaway win!
these I treated myself to - Blossom Bucket embellishments, designed by Wendy Vecchi - and some Dina Wakley stamps - and my WOYWW badge ( well, it had to make an appearance today!!- and my anniversary ATC ready to wend it's way to someone!) There's a "spare" for Julia too...
This is my blog win - the uber talented and recently Ranger University educated
Kaz had a giveaway recently and I was picked at random to win this set of Dylusions stamps - and she sent the fab tag you can see, too. Thanks again, Kaz! If you don't know her blog, check it out, she makes some amazing things!
Also and finally (thank goodness you cry!) it's time for Dragons-Dream
Tag it On again - this time, Sue is setting the recipe is "To Dye For" and to use dies, spray inks and embossing (either heat or dry).
I used some Dylusion sprays on my tag - this is a second generation tag, one I used to "blot" the sprays on the original, so it's slightly less intensely coloured - used the pink and the yellow - and then embossed it in Tim Holtz's brick texture fade. I die cut some rosettes with coredinations paper and cut some coffee stirers to make the stems The leaves (Dylusions stamps) on the tag are stamped in seedless preserves DI and the sentiment is one of Tim's
The embossed tag. Looks like I added some white to it - that'll be picket fence distress stain then!
Hi Helen! Happy WOYWW!! Your name appeared below mine for the ATC swap though you have so many amazing new goodies that I wish you were above me! I'll send you an email for your address. Have a great week of playing!

Hi Helen
ReplyDeleteReally quick comment for now as am dashing out. Just spotted what you said about Portobello Road papers on my blog. I won't use the whole pack and am more than happy to send you one each of the papers to play with (6" x 6"), they won't be useful really after the Jubilee/Olympics so I'd have some spare for sure. Also, finding that pack isn't easy right now as loads of places are out of stock.
All I'd ask is that you come and play again in the snippets playground - I think you have linked a snippets card in the past? No conditions really, am just teasing.
If you want one of each of the papers my email addy is:
di_wray@hotmail.com
I'd post them 1st Class tomorrow so you'd have them for Friday to play :))
Di xx

Well done on your blog giveaway win 0 exciting stuff there. We were very licky with the weather in Norfolk. It is some years since we went and we got rained out on that occasion. At least we did not get much rain this time, just a sudden jump from freezing to scorching. British weather! Have a good week. xx Maggie #99
