WOYWW 742

 Welcome again, deskers,  tis time for WOYWW .   

It's been another fairly unproductive week (what's new!)  


I added some stamping  layers to the background I started and shared last week....keeping to the same colours and keeping to Seth's stamps.


it's sat on top of the journal I intend to add it to.. either in pieces or in halves with something in the background.... not sure yet!

had intended to play with it Tuesday evening (i.e now)  but I am falling asleep so  not going to risk ruining it and will carry on flicking between the cricket and the athletics...





Saturday of course was Kew,.  my Kew mate Kim wasn't able to make it (she's having problems with gallstones ) so I was on my own.  

I noticed this teeny teeny snail on the centre of an echinacea flower... smaller than my little fingernail.    so cute!  
and in the Temperate House I loved these passionflowers tumbling down the outside of a beautiful terracotta pot.


Thanks for looking, happy WOYWW.

I like how you keep adding t that lovely piece you started earlier in the month. I think it will go nicely in your journal.

That snail still freaks me out. They are nasty and you find such enjoyment in them. Happy WOYWW from # 7.

That piece is going to be perfect for a journal. I love the colours. Your designs would make good digital prints for fabric

I think it is the weather that is stopping us being productive. I took loads away with me and never did a thing.
Not to worry, your piece is looking good and will no doubt be in your journal next week.

Neets right this weather is no good for crafting, it's too humid. I'll be pleased when it cools down again. However the journal page looks good and the little snail pic is gorgeous. Wishing you a very happy and productive woyww, Angela x14x

You certainly know what you're doing with those make making stencils, that piece looks fab. Am super impressed that you've left it alone because you're tired..it's just the perfect situation for ruination isn't it, well done you!! Am very sorry for Kim, gall stones are a hideous problem. Hope she can make do with your fantastic photos this week!

You’d have thought that the Echinoidea would have been too prickly for that little snail! It makes for a great pic though. Love the colours appearing in your journal spread, sometimes it’s good to not just rush things!

Hi Helen!! Was in a garden centre yesterday and had to say the echinaceas and a passionflower just that shade really caught my eye. That snail is tiny!! I love the colours of your stamped piece even though you haven't decided what to do with it yet! Inspiration will strike I'm sure. Have a wonderful week, love n hugs Cindyxx #16

Hi Helen! Loving all the layers on that journal Pages! And that snail is SO darned cute! When I clicked on your website on Wednesday my Norton blocked it! Said it was "phishing"! Well, I told them a thing or two (and probably a few others did as well!) and now your are safe! Have a great week, Lindart #21
