It's happy desk day again - WOYWW 589 - time to share your crafty spaces - head to Julia's for all the info
With not having a morning at Kew I thought I'd have lots of time at the weekend to get some crafting done...
I had a couple of birthday cards to make....
for the first one
my new Kew membership card arrived at the weekend and was in a lovely envelope covered in pictures of allium beds at Kew and other images - sadly the Palm House on the front cover was on the reverse of the alliums and I couldn't work out how to use both
and the Dina Wakley stamp set for the second one
Then I turned my attention to my journal
the alliums won and I repeated the crazy waves stencilling in the background and then added some flowers stencilled over the top
the green flaps were used for the hares in the birthday card
I still haven't rectified the journal page from last week... maybe next week!
so although i didn't get to go toKew last week, you still get a glimpse!
Love how you've managed to get Kew onto your journal page Helen. Great cards too. Thanks for the visit. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #?

ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Morning Helen, really nice to have a little bit of normality back into my life again. That crazy wave stencil is awesome, like a meadow backdrop for those hoppy hares. The journal page reminds me of a brochure, good use of the Kew envelope. Take care & Happy WoywW Tracey xx
ReplyDeleteSuper cards - I love that wavy stencil and the dancing hares (more stuff for my wishlist) - oh and the Dina Wakley stamps.
ReplyDeleteGreat journal page too...
Happy woyww! Susan #8
Great cards Helen, like that crazy wavy stencil in your hands. Did it feel nice to get down to some Cards again, you’ve had quite a break from them! great page with the Kew envelope, I think the alums would have won me over too!
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, great cards; I love your dancing hares. Your journal page is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW
Stay safe

Absolutely love those hares! Oh heck, I want!
ReplyDeleteI would have scanned the envelope to get the two images but you made the right choice and did something useable.
Why no visit to Kew, have I missed something?
Hugs, Neet 12 xx
Hi Helen, glad to see there's a touch of Kew in your post. The dancing hares are now on my shopping list!! I love aliums ... I have some bulbs ready to plant - I can't wait to see them in all their glory! Have a lovelyvweek, Heather xx #11
ReplyDeleteWell, I like the Crazy Waves stencilled background a lot - bet you'll use that for loads of things! And of course I love the hares too (goes without saying really!). The journal pages are fab, love what you've done with it.

Terrific cards and journal page ~ so many beautiful shades of purple to enjoy
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, couldn’t you ask them for another envelope? I find people are quite helpful when I ask. Great card and journal page. Angela #27
ReplyDeleteGreat journaling pages! I love how you added the envelope. And those hares are hilarious! Have a great week. Dorlene #24
ReplyDeleteLove your dancing hares, Helen, and your Kew envelope makeover is a triumph. You could always scan and print anything on the reverse that you want to keep. As always, your colours are wonderful - a lovely subtle blend. Great stuff! Thank you for your comment and I'm glad you enjoyed your visit!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,

Hippety hoppety - the dancing rabbits looks great against the crazy waves, and I love the DW one - really powerful in its simplicity. The journal spread is pure magic - well done, Kew, for your mailart!
