Here we are again, Wednesday - time for another get together with Julia at the gang at the Stamping-Ground.
It's been a kind of card making week - well Sunday; seems to be my only crafting time these days. By the time I get home from work and eaten, all I want to do is slump in front of the tv.
the dragonfly is from a Tracy Scott Paperartsy release from a year or (more) ago.. again not used before!
then I played more in the journal - the numbers stencil again!! I stamped loads more different numbers over the page, and the new Paperartsy birds - I don't like the way this page turned out I wish I;d left it at the numbers!
was quite a productive Sunday!
Kew on Saturday was another walk round the orchids mainly but outside, lots and lots of crocuses.
the smallest of the chameleons in the display is so cute!
had it not been so muddy from the week's rain I would so have laid down on the grass to get closer to the crocus "carpet"
I wish you all a happy WOYWW and Valentine's day if you celebrate, with your loved ones. See you next week.

Lovely photos from Kew as always. Helen, I have never seen you do so much work. You certainly went at a fair pace of knots on Sunday with your crafting. And what lovely cards you made - I too like that number stencil, is it one of Tracey's?
The dragonfly one, what inks did you use please, it is gorgeous. But then I like the blue one, and the journal page in blues and greens.
I'm going to come back for a closer look at the last picture.

Hi Helen, You've really got going with cards and journal pages since last Wednesday! I can understand you having one main day to craft, work so gets in the way doesn't it. Loving the Kew pics too. Sending you happy woyww hugs, Angela x2x
Love the numbers stencil! A lot to look at today! As always love the pics from Kew!
Happy Valentine's and WOYWW! Susan #9
Helen, your cards are so pretty! Love how you used your numbers stencil. I think stenciled backgrounds are so interesting!
Your pictures in Kew Gardens are fabulous! My son was once engaged to a young lady from England. Whenever they visited England, a stop at "The Kew" was a must.
Hugz,

I love your Sunday crafty activity Helen. The cards are fab. Wonderful signs of Spring at Kew. x x Jo
Loving the beautiful are you have shared. Awesome colors. How large is KEW? Seems to have a lot of great color. Happy Valentines Day and thanks for your visit. 💕💕❤️
LOL! Hard to spot the chameleon when I can only focus on those two sort of purpleish blobs that look like fingertips! DOH! All the pages look wonderful - you are so prolific - I swear you could build a desk from all your art journals - if you ever get tired of the floor... :D
Happy WOYWW so Ready, set, hop!

Gorgeous cards today Helen. I love the colours on your page but maybe less is more....it's know when to stop when you're having fun isn't it?

Wow, you had a productive Sunday! Fab to see you playing so much especially with some NBUS as well. Love the bright colours on the page. And look at those crocuseseseses (Inever know when to stop spelling that word!) completely breathtaking, isn’t nature wonderful?

Great cards and journaling, Helen. I love the dragonfly. Your photos from Kew are stunning today. I love that there’s a ‘cool orchids room.’😉. They make fantastic animals for the display as well as the gorgeous flowers- I liked Big bird as well as the Aye-Ayes and chameleons.
We have a couple of snowdrops and the daffs are nearly waking up here.
Thanks for your kind support
Take care and happy WOYWW

Looks like you had a busy crafty Sunday Helen - some great projects there. Thanks for the visit - you can tell it's half term lol. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #16
Lovely cards and journal pages. I particularly like the top card. Great Kew photographs, I was itching to lie down and take pictures of the snowdrops last Sunday, just was sure if I could get up again 🤣🤣. Happy WOYWW Angela #6
Super birthday cards, wish I was on your list LOL. Adore your stencilling work with the numbers, although trying not to focus on my number for tomorrow. Kinda pleased and kinda eeeek - how did that happen? Hugs BJ#5
I love the way you used the numbers stencil as a background, it works really well! I wasn't sure about that chameleon...a real chameleon? Then I looked closely and saw some eyes...I've never seen anything like this before! Have a wonderful week, Happy ❤️ Day! Lindart #19
Sorry I'm so late. That chameleon is so clever isn't it, the minds at Kew are very clever with their points of internet aren't they. The crocus lawn is just stunning..am staggered that you didn't sacrifice your clothing and dignity by lying down!! Loving the use of the numbers stencil, you were on a roll, huh!
Yay, I can comment this week! I have a link to some Kew gardens papers on week. loving the carpet of flowers. Will miss going to see them and the snowdrops and then the bluebells this year. It won't be the same on my own sorry this is a week late! ((Lyn)) #18
