WOYWW 683

 As has been mentioned once or twice round these parts... it's Wednesday again, already!  Which means it's WOYWW again already! Always a great day of the week, time to meet up at Julia's to share our crafty spaces; this week sees me looking forward to a week off work after today. 


I got some new stamps last week, released on Thursday, delivered on Saturday (always great service from Stamper's Grove)   Alison Bomber for Paperartsy

I had to have a play with them at the weekend, in between tennis, cricket, F1 ....

I used the rose hip sets on a journal page
and the brambles set too 
then I played with the distress sprays (uncharted mariner and villainous potion)  and then stencilled the same colours over the top
before adding some focal points , those funky peeps again and the words which are Seth Apter for Paperartsy





so that's me this week -  just time for the Kew link 


I probably won't get any time for visiting at lunchtime tomorrow as I'll be racing to get work finished before my week off so will catch you in the evening.


happy WOYWW!

Oh a week off sounds heavenly. Weirdly, as I don't "work" per se, I never seem to get a holiday, unless my back is playing up and I am stuck in bed. Not fun. Not a "vacation." :D Lovely new stamps, you have the best hauls, and I love the pages. I am making a few too so things are looking up!
Happy WOYWW on the day for a change :D !

Oooh, I hope you have a wonderful week iff, the weather is supposed to be really hot too so you should be well set for whatever you choose to do! I really love the rose hip and bramble stamps, remind me of the Edwardian Lady books which I adored.

I had to go off and check out those lovely stamps! I always think the Electica range a bit pricey so I don’t own any. Have a great week off. Happy WOYWW. Angela #10

I love your rosehip and bramble stamps. Your weekly Kew visit was beautiful as ever. This week I was entertained by your technical terms - arty farty and on the wonk 😀, as well as the gorgeous photos.
Enjoy your week off!
Take care and happy WOYWW

A week off work forgotten what that used to be like. people say every day's a holiday when you retire - don't believe it, I seem to get up earlier and work harder in my retirement.
Bet Kew is looking good this time of year. Ani

Great stash as always and lovely pages. Is it going to be a crafty week or are you getting away somewhere? Weather looks nice lol. I was offered tickets for HC on Monday as my friend has Covid, but it was a bit last minute and I'm feeling a bit gardened out - but enjoy. I'm sure there will be photos!! Happy WOYWW, love n hugs Cindy xx

Have a good week off! I am currently away - at work city trip to Adelaide and Sydney.
Love the Rose hip stamps.

Julia Dunnit said...

Excuse me. I bl**dy knew you’d do something to make me like the Uncharted Mariner! Great colour combo. Also like Alison Bombers images, they may have to go on my acquisitions list. Damn!
