WOYWW 504

Can't believe it's time to get together at Julia'as again for WOYWW  or indeed that it is the end of January...
I had another lovely morning at Kew on Saturday (pics here)  despite it being quite cold but luckily not wet.  They are talking about light snow on Saturday coming which will make it look even more magical... I almost hope it does!  

I had a play with some of the new stamps at the weekend - in my square journal

mix of distress oxides and archival inks 











I was hoping there would be new goodies to share today but they are still on the way
I went for the large flower die from Tim Holtz and once again from CraftStash who do very good prices.   Sadly the other dies I wanted are currently out of stock..

I will be a bit late home from work tonight (even if it doesn't snow) as I have a haircut after work so I'll catch up with your desks when I can.
short and sweet from me today!

Hi Helen it's nice to see you've had some creative time again. Love that hand stamp. I love all the flowers from the new TH collection, I believe they will become firm favourites alongside the wildflowers.
Not sure i'll get chance to join in this week as I've an early start tomorrow and my sleep has been disrupted due to power cuts this evening.. House alarms screeching throughout the neighbourhood. Either way Happy WoywW Tracey xx

Glad to see you've had some time to craft Helen. I've been a bit naughty too as I've oredered the new Oxide sprays Distress archivals and re-inkers. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #4

I do like the background on your journal pages - my kind of colours! Love that eye stamp too.
Well, I missed Creativation for the first time in about 14 years but it had lost its magic for me and funnily enough I have not kept up with it on the internet. Did see TH stuff though but nothing blew me away - I know, you will be shaking your head at that.
Enjoy a sprinkling at Kew, hopefully, should be magical.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

Happy WOYWW. I would love to see photos of Kew in the snow. We rarely get much snow in Pembrokeshire, which I am glad of as we need to get to the airport for early Saturday morning (staying at the hotel right next to the terminal on Friday night, so not far to travel at 4 am!). I haven't seen any of the new TH stuff, but will take a look to be nosey! I will not be buying (still being strict with myself until my credit card debt is cleared), but I like to see what the latest trends are. Ali x #8

Morning Helen. A fun page there in your square journal - enjoy your new stash when it arrives. Kew looks great at any time - but with the addition of snow... it will blow you away - hope your camera battery is well charged...!!
Take care. God bless.

Well, those background colours are rather lovely, especially the bright blue! The hands remind me of similar that are found in the prehistoric cave paintings in France.

Hi Helen, interesting page, like it a lot. saw your TH comment on Neets blog, I agree, I have been a bit underwhelmed by this years stuff. Liking the look of the Oxide sprays though, and I'll be getting those mini Archival Distress pads too. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #7 XxX

Love your journal page. So frustrating when what we want is out of stock. But it helps me use what I have. Happy week ahead #19

Love the colour on your journal page, and the hands walking up the page, and the eye peeking out are awesome! Have a great week, Lindart #24

HI Helen :) love the colors going on in the journal page and ooh yes, I bet that would make for some gorgeous shots of the gardens in the snow.
We've had some hoar frost the last few weeks off and on but, I have been too lazy to haul the camera outside with me when I am walking. ( I should probably try to practice with my cell phone again since it fits in my pocket) :) ~Stacy #26

I have to admit to having the hand stamp on order, love how you've used it. The Woodware stamp I've been using is lovely and stamps really well but I don't want to be blamed for you spending even more on stamps Lol! Have a great woyww and a happy creative week, Angela x15x

Stay warm it's so cold here. Happy WOYWW xx Jan (21)

Hi Helen. Thanks for the visit this morning. Love the journal page. Hand prints fascinate me. Every one is so different, even when stamped from the same hand. Hope your new toys arrive soon! Creative Blessings! Kelly #29

Ooh, so atmospheric and mysterious... that Seth Apter hand is probably my "most-tempted" of the new minis. I love the colours here. Hope the haircut went well.

I’m late, sorry! Lilacs the handprints...they guilt me about cleaning glass!! Hope you get to Kew alright, the forecast changes every hour!

Hi Helen, I'm only able to see the photo of your journal today - I'm on my mobile and it's not showing the others so I had a peek at your next post - love the flower stamp. I'm wondering if there's as much snow at Kew today as there has been elsewhere in the South. I'm not too well at the moment so sorry I'm a bit late in getting round to comment. Elizabeth x #22
