WOYWW 826

 Happy April - and WOYWW.  Head to Sarah's for the link up and nose-round!   


we'll start with new goodies!  
and a card I  made with some of the Alison Bomber stamps from last week

the card base is actually cream but the phone doesn't pick it up well. 
and a journal page with some of the Paperartsy tissue (the stuff they used as packing filler before deciding they could sell the stuff!)  

I coloured the pieces with Neocolour II crayons.  
how long is it since I used them... ahem!!  

it's a WIP of course!  they need work to make them seamless and blended.







Had a lovely walk at Kew on Saturday in warm sunshine...

it was packed, as it was 10k fun run day 
cherry blossom
pasque flowers

sunlit magnolias.


Thanks for dropping by 
I'll be round when I can!

More new stuf Helen, but you do make good use of everything you buy which I'm not sure I do as sometimes I forget about it before it's out of the packet! Have a nice day and a happy woyww, hugs Angela x9x

Those Kew flowers are Spring in a Pic! Absolutely gorgeous xx. The hedgerows round here are starting to burst with hawthorn blossom, one of my favourites. Lovely new stash there and it’s nice to see the card and journal page too, both work really well!

Beautiful new Kew photos Helen, I must say your up/down shots make it sound the complete workout! Loved seeing the magnolia and the Pasque flowers especially.

Gorgeous pics, everything is bursting out all over. Great stash and I love the lavender card. desperate to get some crafting done today but its already 2, and all I've done is chores and put washing out. My DiL was at that running event, she is training for the London Marathon in a few weeks.
Have a lovely week, long may the sunshine last, Love n Hugs Cindyxx #10

As I didn't get around everyone last week I thought I would try and be early this - it may just be your Wednesday still but it is already my Thursday morning! What a lot of lovely new stuff! My husband has just made me a new light box as my photos were getting really bad in my old one - I think the light strip had begun to droop! Happy WOYWW! Susan #15

Love the new stuff and I love your comment regarding the tissue paper.

Hi Helen, I am in Ontario, so you may have seen videos from my area. My Dad in BC, on the other side of Canada, saw a photo of a house on my street that I hadn't even seen! Someone was hit by a falling branch while trying to get to his car and had to be hospitalized. We saw the fire engines, ambulance, and other emergency trucks go by but didn't know why until my Dad sent the photo! It was only a few doors up from us. Luckily we didnlt have any big branches fall. You have a lovely stash of new toys to play with! Your journal page is lovely, I haven't played with those Neocolours lately either. It's so nice that you are actually getting flowers, it looks so wonderful! Have a great week, Lindart #14

Hello Helen, your Kew photos are beautiful. It's so nice to see the blossom - so cheering after months of winter. I'm sure you're going to have a lot of fun with your new goodies, as always. The card is lovely. Have a lovely week. Hugs, Elizabeth x #13

BJ said...

Super goodies, love the stencils. Oh funny about the Paperartsy tissue packing to selling - what are they like? Love the white cherry blossom, there is a hedge full in the fields behind us I was quite struck by it today. Our magnolia is still coming out..... Hugs BJ#12

Ooh new stash, what's the white tub on the right? Some type of paste or glaze? Always love seeing how you use your stash as some great ideas.
