At the risk of sounding repetitive.... I've bought some (more) new stuff from the Paperartsy launch... just one more parcel to come now... I have no willpower, do I hear you say? Quite possibly..
I have been playing with some of my new supplies already, which is always a good thing, right - buy it, use it...
the robot is from one of Jo Firth Young's new sets
I've tweeked this since, but not got a photo of it - I painted a piece of card with the pewter (older metallic) paint, then stamped and cut out the robot and layered it onto the tag. It wasn't my idea, I confess, it was Leandra's herself, but the pewter is a more robot-y colour!
I've also got a very pink start to a journal page... not sure yet where this is going - it involved a lot of splodging and dragging paint with a credit card (an old one, not the one I'm using to buy new stash with!)
Better go and catch your desks, now - but before I go, if any of you like orchids, I went to Kew on Saturday for the start of their annual orchid display... if you didn't catch the link on facebook or twitter head here for some visual delights!

Helen I don't know how you can use all the stamps you own it's mind boggling
but they are pretty
hugs Nikki ???
I love that pink and I am not a pink fan. It reminds me of raspberry.
Great buys - have you ever counted your stamps and if so dare you say how many?
Hugs, Neet 1 xx
Great background on your new Art journal page.
Welcome to my desk too.
Susan Lotus nr 8 on the list.
Well, I can't say anything can I, after splurging on fabric last week!! I really do like this floral stamps though...bet you'll use them loads!
Hugs, LLJ 13 xx

Oh you and your new goodies! I don't blame you though - these are really fabulous stamps! Look forward to seeing the pink page progress! Not sure whether I will be joining in - still having concentration issues and may not be up to keeping up with comments - but I am feeling much better! Hugs, Chrisx

Oh Helen I do love readying your posts...you make me chuckle with some of your comments. I love your new buys.
Hope you have a great week.
Hugs,

I'm not into orchids at all...but your Kew post is just beautiful. Waht a nice way to have spent a really crappy day! I'm a bit jealous of your purchases...I love the White Fire paint, at some stage that will be a 'need' for me!
Those orchids are beautiful! I saw some when we went to the Botanical Gardens in Washington - they were gorgeous.
I love your pages - can't wait to see what you do with the pink page.
What wonderful stamps those paper artsy ones are - love them
Have a great week

Lovely new stash! And that robot is very cute.
Oh, lovely stamps. The robot is cute and I love your pink background.
Still stash to come? You lucky girl!
Thank you for you lovely comment,
Have a good week,

Helen, your post cracked me up! So funny. Love the start to your journal page. I'm determined to start a junk journal this week.. soon as I finish my Tim Tag. Don't spend all your money in one place! Creative Blessings! Kelly #42
Hi Helen, I started okay this morning but got tied up with a difficult project so only just getting round to starting my visits. I love the robot and just might have to get it soon. Have a great woyww and happy crafting, Angela x 26
Oooh snap, Helen! I've just got those stamps too - they arrived this morning! I saw the review and that delicious Youtube video and simply could not resist. Can't wait to try them.
Love your pink page and look forward to seeing what you put on it! Now there's a good idea for weaning oneself off one's equipment purchasing addiction - use your credit card for art!
Thank you for your lovely comment and I'm glad you like my cats. As for getting published, this all happened last Sept. and I did a blog post about it then, but it may not have found its way onto WOYWW.
Happy WOYWW,

Hi Helen,
Lovely new stamps! But, honestly, where DO you put them all :)??
Thanks for your nice comment re. my zentangles. Didn't really think it was my cup of tea, but I actually enjoyed it.
Have a good week.

Been playing with White Fire too (though not up on the blog for a bit yet) and I agree it's gorgeouser than anything!! Love that adorable little robot, and looking forward to seeing where that vivid pink background is heading.

I have had a peek at the new stamps but so far I have resisted. Unlike you!!

Ahh, the robot. So cute! I love the metalic look... I think I have some metalic ink/paint (?) laying somewhere, I might go hunt for it today! Enjoy your weekend. Love from Holland (all quiet today, yay!) Marit #37
I love seeing your new stash as I don't really keep up with what is out there. That robot is sweet and even though I'm not a pink girl I do love that page! Take care Zo xx 31
