WOYWW 692

 Morning  deskers, time for another week's WOYWW     We're edging closer to our crop, I must do some travel sorting!!   I have accommodation sorted thanks to Julia but right now no idea how I'm getting there. 

But first, some crafting!  I was watching YouTube on Sunday morning as I often do, in bed on my phone (useless, screen is too small for that really but I don't have a tablet or laptop). Anyhow, I saw something that inspired me and I was up and at it! 

the background on the journal page already had a gloss spray of the flowery stencil on it and I just went in over the top with more stencilled layers

it is a very loose interpretation of my visit to the Tower of London to see the Superbloom planting for the Queen's jubilee.  (pics of the real thing here)

I even used the foam alphabet stamps (Tim Holtz) for the first time yay!

then later on another page,


again, some of the pink background was already down,  leftover from something or other.

the faces were already stamped from an earlier session (a Dina Wakley supporter demo probably)


Had another lovely visit to Kew on Saturday - a first real taste of autumn mist in the air, just gorgeous!  pics here 




and as I shared to FB at the time - double shadows just for Julia!  (my buddy Kim from the regulars group on the left, me on the right)

both equally laden with camera equipment!  







Thanks for looking, happy Wednesday.

Absolutely adore the superbloom page it's amazing, good old YouTube. The faces represent my week LOL, I'm moving churches but from everything else it is a bit difficult - Oh my! yep definite Autumn in the air, loving it despite still being HOT - when will this end? BJ#5

That floral background is certainly reminiscent of the Tower of London wildflowers! Like the Dina Wakley faces too - I think I have those stamps.
Happy WOYWW! Susan #7

You just reminded me `I did a photo of our shadows the other week and never posted it.
My word you have been a busy bee crafting wise. I love the first page you show us with all those gorgeous flowers. That reminded me I have some foam letter stamps that I used to love but I rarely use these days - I must get them out - I know exactly where they are. Thanks!
Great journaling.
Hugs, Neet 6 xx

Hi Helen, your superbloom pages are lovely. Thanks for sharing your Kew visit again. I so enjoy your visits. That little orchidy woodland flower was so beautiful that I think it’s my favourite this week. Enjoy your lie-in on Saturday!

Your flowery journal pages are gorgeous Helen - what a bit of inspiration can do! xx Jo

Lindart said...

Isn't you tube wonderful! It is my go-to when I am feeling down with no inspiration. It never fails! I love your page of flowers - it looks better than the real thing I think, but it does bring your memory back to that day and that is a good thing. The faces look very ghostly...you could turn in into a Halloween or October page! Have a great week, and thanks for your visit, Lindart #18
