WOYWW 750

 Another week has gone in a flash and it's time again for WOYWW.  

 

I did stamp out some Christmas sentiments for trimming and adding to the images from last week - once I cut them down!

I decided to do some in coloured ink to tone with the colours in the masterboards that I'll be cutting up, although mostly I stamped in black. 





I also started playing in the small kraft journal 


I cut some circles from a sheet of collage tissue (Dina Wakley)








and added some neon to them - the orange and pink are the paints and the yellow is the gloss, because I couldn't get the yellow paint out of the bottle and couldn't be bothered to go and find a pin to clear the nozzle.

I've been too tired after work since to add to the page. 








Saturday's trip to Kew was chilly - it's definitely autumn now, but at least it was sunny (this weekend will be chilly and wet and no hint of sun at all!)

the colours are really developing in the trees. 


the lake was especially beautiful  


Hope you are all well, I will be round to catch up with your crafty spaces soon.

It won't be long until you have your Christmas cards finished and I haven't even thought about them. I need to get through Halloween first.

I love those circles your kraft journal. I love the colors you chose, too. I look forward to seeing what you plan to do with it next.

Yes, the colors at Kew are starting to turn. Not so in my world. I really loved the reds and yellows you shared this week. Happy WOYWW from #2.

That journal page is looking good - love the neon! Went to Kew last week with Chelsey and Lionel and it was so beautiful and a gorgeous day. Was thinking of you as we walked round. DD couldn't believe you went every week. Think that was one of the last good days though. Even I will allow it is Autumn now (sorry, 1st September is NOT Autumn) though the trees are pretty slow to turn this year. Heating is on, goodbye Summer. Love n hugs Cindyxx #8

Lovely Kew pics. We thought that the trees were slow to change this year. We really didn't see much Autumn colour while we were away.x x Jo

Always love to see the photos from Kew and the journal pages are coming along nicely. Good luck with the Christmas cards too, it seems to have stopped again at mine. Take care and wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x14x

Love your autumnal Kew photos.
Same goes for your journal page, it shouts 'autumn' and so I look forward to you being a little less tired (I am typing with eyes half shut) and the page being completed.
Have a good week and weekend.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

Fabulous autumnal photographs. I love the changing colours of autumn. I don’t love all the leaves that clutter my lawn though it makes it hard to see where the dogs have been (I am sure you get my meaning 🤣🤣). Loving the circles and look forward to seeing the next stage. Happy WOYWW. Angela #13

Beautiful leaf colours in your lake pictures and still plenty of colour elsewhere, including in your pretty journal pages. Sorry your way home was delayed. Damn trespassers!
Take care and happy WOYWW

Love the journal pages, that was something I didn't try. I mainly just make flowers and put them on cards. I love the idea of journals but just tried to stay in my lane! Happy Wednesday!!

How long do you have before you retire? Then crafting can take precedence which is a much better state of affairs, lol!! I like the neons, they really pop off the page. Gorgeous colours at Kew, I can’t wait for a return visit to Aberglasney but we’re without a car at the moment and it’s not easy to get to by public transport!

I think the cold is very tiring . . . love your circles and I might pinch your idea of stamping out sentiments to cut up . . . time savers unite!!

That page is so bright and fun but honestly - there seem to always be issues with the packaging for so much of the Ranger stuff, going right back 20 years. V V annoying. Kew looks lovely but the cold will soon be here properly so wrap up warm :)

Happy day-late WOYWW!

A good start on the Christmas sentiment stamping I see. Love your small journal, did you make it yourself perchance? You keep reminding me to do some more stamping on tissue, but do I remember otherwise - um NO! Love the circles and the neon, coming along nicely. Kew is looking beautiful. Hugs BJ#5

Love your journal page, always good to get a head start on xmas cards. Love those autumn trees. Happy WOYWW! Elle #20, EOTC

Julia Dunnit said...

Yep, although the storm warning has now been downgraded, I think Saturday may well be just wet and cold. This weeks Kew pictures are lovely, autumn has so so much to recommend it doesn't it! Loving the masterboard work, and then the journal too, crikey, a prolific weekend! I don't think the 'limbo' between autumn arriving and the clocks going back helps you worker bees at this time of year, absolutely sure that on top of a lonfpg day at work, trying to decide where you are in terms of daylight can't help the old bodyclock.

I really like the Dina Wakely circles and the lovely fall colours you chose! And Kew is looking lovely too with all it's glorious colours! Have a lovely week, Lindart #19
