WOYWW 791

 Hello deskers, we find ourselves at Wednesday again, and desk sharing day/ 

Head over to Sarah's for the link up 

I don't have much to show this week - the Olympics have taken over here!

another journal page based on a you tube video by Alison Bomber and her most recent stamps for Paperartsy

Saturday saw nice weather at Kew and some bright sunshine (before it turned too hot the last couple of days  - never happy are we)

playing with some angles 

sunlit flowers in the Temperate House

and some gorgeous sunflowers

I can't believe tomorrow is August -  the year is running along at a fair old pace - but Happy Birthday tomorrow to our lovely Jan  - hope you have a great day! 

WOYWW 790

 Well,another week has flown by and we find ourselves at Wednesday and heading to Sarah's Craft Shed for WOYWW for a nose at crafty spaces. 

I made a couple of cards at the weekend, one of which I can't share here yet

but this is my brother and sister in law's anniversary card for once made in plenty of time!  

I was talking to my Kew buddy Kim about not being able to find a happy anniversary stamp i used in the card and she said I should buy some of those multi-drawer boxes to organise them... so I showed her I have one or two..... you all have seen these many times but I am sharing them again!

(in fact I knew exactly where the stamp was, it was just I thought it would be too big for the card)

No fox cubs or swans surrounding Kim last week at Kew, but we did see....

a small deer - we've seen deer once or twice before but not normally in summer

some of my favourites along the Broad Walk

and the hydrangeas - thought this one looked as if someone had thrown paint over it!

I enjoyed the golf at the weekend - and now looking forward to the Olympics starting this Friday

thanks for looking, I'll get round to your desks soon. Happy WOYWW

 Hello, deskers, Happy WOYWW time for another trip round the desks of the world. You can join in at Sarah's Craft Shed. 

 

I don't have a lot to share this week -  a page in my square Dina kraft journal.

The weekend was a bit sport heavy after Kew on Saturday (and this weekend will be golf filled!) 

it was a shame England couldn't manage to win the Euros but Spain deserved to win.  

Kew was good though, after Kim and I dodged some unexpected early rain! 

the swans by the lake thought we had come to feed them!  they're quite friendly though.  the cygnets are growing fast!  

Hoping for a sunny trip this weekend - so far, the forecast is looking decent!  

Happy WOYWW and I'll be round to see your desk soon. 

WOYWW 788

 Hello deskers,  happy WOYWW to you all.  Another week flew by and it is time to meet up at Sarah's for the weekly desk hop. 

I took my birthday cards down at the weekend and thought to photograph the hand-made ones.(not all deskers) 

top left, LLJ, Miriam,

bottom left my cousin Angela (collage of her photographs) Lesley and Cindy. 

in between football, tennis and Formula 1 at the weekend I made a journal page on a linen page in the original Dina Wakley journal.

based on something she did in one of her supporter FB live posts. 

Saturday at Kew was wet - very different to the previous weekend (most of the week has been wet, it's getting boring now)

it was a water drop kind of day! 

though it did stop for about 20 minutes!  

I'll be along to check out your desks soon.  

WOYWW 787

 Happy WOYWW deskers, happy July...   Sarah will have the link for you to join in and share your desk too.. 

Thank you all for the birthday wishes last week.  The champagne remains un-drunk, it was too hot for it last week (and I can't drink a whole bottle on my own)  

last week was new release week -  by Dina... 

more transparencies (I photographed the back of the packet so you can see the images included easier), stencils and some stamps...

and Paperartsy (with an ink pad thrown in for the free postage limit....as you do) 

on the left, designed by Seth Apter,  and on the right by Alison Bomber (they both had 3 sets in their releases, but I was restrained and only got one  from each of them...)

I had a bit of a play in a square journal using Alison's stamps.

Kirsty from work gave me some flowers... 

the lilies smell fabulous!  

and of course, there was a trip to Kew on Saturday where Kim and I had fun with the reflections in the Marc Quinn sculptures..  

my traditional blog opening shot this week was a glorious blue sky start to the visit .

lean in closer Kim  said...

this one is called  "who dat in der?"  

such big kids!  

am hoping that the forecast rain for this weekend holds off till after our visit..  there may be a gap so fingers crossed.

Happy WOYWW - I'll be along soon.
