WOYWW 701

 Happy desk sharing day one and all.  WOYWW again  head to Julia's for the details

first the floor shot...I haven't used the background from last week yet,  think it needs toning down.. 


made another couple of masterboard backgrounds...
and actually assembled the start of some Christmas cards.. just needs a greeting for the fronts 

I'll probably do another one in red when the new Distress ink pads arrive (yes, I succumbed) 



It's a very red week,  all over....


my wet trip to Kew (although it did stop now and then)

saw me colour matching the trees...

it was a brolly and welly day!  



the forecast this weekend is a bit better - but the ground will still be muddy!  




I hope you've all had a good week.  see you soon!  Happy WOYWW

Great colour coordinating Helen. We managed the three, let's hope we can keep the trend going tonight.

Love that photo of you at Kew.
I can see I need to get my skates on with the Christmas card making, can't have you so far ahead of me this year. You will be showing us lots next week already done.
Hugs, Neet xx

The cards are lovely and yeah, I am with you - speed is of the essence as December looms! Had to smile at how well you math the tree. If I even went mad with my haircolour I'd def. go purple :)
Happy WOYWW!

Love the pic of you and the tree, lol! A good pic to keep when you you need to go to the hairdresser again and tell her which colour you want *grin*. Those master boards are looking great, have fun with the new red when it arrives.

Love that last photo Helen, well done, on those master boards too, must admit like the new red too, but it’s not a colour I use lots.
Happy WOYWW.

First off . . . love, love that photo of you and your obliging tree!
Your backgrounds are beautiful and yes . . . I knew you'd succumb. I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the playtime. Enjoy the new colour when it arrives.
Have a good week

Love those backgrounds - is it multi stamping or stencilling? Lovely new stash. Well done for making a start on the Christmas cards. Happy WOYWW. Angela #10

Julia Dunnit said...

Pretty masterboards, make lovely cards. Go you, bet you’ll have finished making yours before I finish fiddling about trying to use up stuff! Love that you and the trees are matching, beautiful. I like the new red too, but will wait till I come across it somewhere before succumbing. I think!

Annie said...

I'm chasing my tail as always. Another busy day and it's not stopped yet lol. I just needed a break so thought I'd catch up with a few blogs.
Really love the card backgrounds.
Hugs,

Great master boards Helen. It's such a good way to start a project off. I think I need to make some for my Christmas cards - no idea what to do just yet. x x Jo

Your lovely new hairdo certainly matched the autumn colours in your Kew visit this week, Helen. That was some dedication in the rain! Hope it’s more clement this week.
Take care and happy WOYWW

Love your master boards and simple Christmas cards but lovely and with a greeting meaningful. Can I borrow your brolly, wellies etc it has just started thundering, lightening and now is pouring with rain here. Can't complain though it is November and we need the rain. ANi

Tracy said...

Gorgeous photo of you at Kew Helen, beautiful you are ❤I'm loving the card fronts you created with the master boards 😍 Thank you so much for stopping by ... the walking soothes my Soul 😊 Wishing you beautiful week ahead with love and hugs Tracy #12 xxxx

BJ said...

The colour match hair is epic so are the masterboards. Still love the hot red myself. So I thought I had a lot of Distress ink pads (40) but you must have loads more as I stopped acquiring them years ago - not even an oxide here! BJ#15

Great start to your Christmas Cards! I haven't really thought about mine yet, I guess I better get crackin'! Kew looks nice in the Fall! Have a great week, Lindart #17

Great master boards Helen! I keep thinking I should start some Christmas cards myself.
Thanks for your lovely comment on my collage page, it was good to hear from you. Hope you are keeping well.
