WOYWW 714

 We have zoomed or way to another Wednesday's WOYWW.. 

hmmm..  new stencils!  
came across these on Stampers Grove when looking to see if he had the new TH distress inks in yet..

added some more layers-  stamping this time -  to the purple page I started a couple of weeks ago

here's the "desk" shot.... the only other thing I've done is to stencil a couple of faces on some card - I think it was my raffle prize from the Crop -  white with a hint of gold -  the gold really shows up in the bad electric light in my living room!!   (not so much in the photo)  










Saturday was Kew, of course and a mega long post showing the Orchid display....




just a hint of the many on the post!

I'm going back again this week for seconds!  

Thanks for looking, Happy WOYWW, see you at a desk near here soon.  Kyla had trouble visiting my desk last week, and was told it was a  dangerous phishing site so I hope no-one else gets the same.

Hope you get hold of the new Distress soon Helen - the colour is fabulous. Love the new stencils. Sucha pain when photos don't do justice to a page. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #?

Interesting new stencils and that purple page is lush! I have foregone the orchids this year as limiting commitments at the mo - and I knew I would be able to attend vicariously through your posts!! Happy WOYWW, love n hugs Cindyxx #4

What superb stencils!!! May have to take a look . . . although, hopefully, I'm off to a local craft fair at the weekend. It's up by the NEC so it's not really local but it is a good one. One room to travel round, lots of exhibitors and, usually, some bargains. Will have to look out for those stencils although I am only going to get some Oriental stash . . . yeah!
Have a good week, hope it's warmer for Kew visit.

Your photographs were beautiful. Last week you mentioned Stampers Grove and I popped over there and had a nice lot in my basket, then my IPad had a blip and closed all my open pages, I forgot about it until you mentioned it again today - must go and check if they still have a sale! Happy WOYWW. Angela #10

Hi Helen, love the look of those new stencils. Your purple piece is lovely too. Orchids are gorgeous so don't blame you going back for seconds this weekend. How weird for your long standing blog to be accused of phishing! Hope it's all fine this week. Hugs, Elizabeth x#15

Lindart said...

What a magnificent lion! A Showstopper! I love your new stencils, gorgeous! Who made the head stencils? I think I might need a few more varieties, and they look lovely and wild! Have a great week, Lindart #16

Struggling with my neck which is why I am so late visiting, sorry.
Love the Kew photos, I have four orchids, had them years and one is about to bloom. Nothing like Kew in my window sill.
Great stencils and love the purple page.
Hugs, Neet 6 xx

Mary Anne said...

Kew looks glorious and your journal page as well. You are the WORST to tempting me to buy but I am sticking to my stash diet for now. Have fun with the new stencils...
Best intentions, total fail!

Love the purple background, and beautiful photos Helen. I've been appreciating all the snowdrops and crocuses since I've got out walking again.
By an amazing coincidence, Hubby and I bumped into Julie-Ann Lee and her family today, walking in our local woods. It was lovely to catch up.
Thanks for your good wishes, we are both so much better.
Hope you're well Helen.

Oh my seriously late this week - every time I sat down to the PC to do my replies something cropped up and life ran away from me...And there was me getting excited by the 2 orchid flowers nearly open on my kitchen plants then see the Kew display! Mine are a bit late this year, but just glad they decide to flower at all the way I look after them! Love your botanical stencils. Bet it was good seeing me in a mess - LOL
