WOYWW 772

 Happy Wednesday, deskers.  Another week flew by and it's time to meet up with Julia again  for WOYWW . Sending lots of love to fellow desker Sarah. Our collective thoughts are with you. 

it was a card making time at the weekend, couple of work birthdays coming up...

this one used the Paperartsy Mattints to colour.  
and some paints for the stencilling on this one. 















Kew was beautifully sunny on Saturday - it makes such a difference! 

 



and here's me hiding in the magnolias with my back to red head!  




thanks for stopping by, I will be round to catch your craft spaces soon.  Happy WOYWW

  1. Our magnolia is starting to burst out so am looking forward to seeing it full. It was lovely the other week to look out onto the front garden and see all the colour that is starting to peep out, the crocus Tete a tetes, grape hyacinths all bringing colour at last.
    Love the cards, especially the bottom one
    Have a good week

  3. I keep saying that I need to schedule a cardmaking session or pretty soon I will be forced to buy cards LOL! Oh the shame of it all. I really must snap a photo of our magnolia to share but I fear it might already be waning. I seem to miss it every year!
    Happy WOYWW!

  8. Magnolias seem to be soooo wonderful this year, the warmer winter has helped I think.

    1. That was me, Morti - for some reason I’m having problems with Blogger anonymising my comments! Yikes.
