WOYWW 851

 Here we are again - WOYWW once more... The link can be found at Sarah's  

it was a very unproductive weekend's crafting -  I had smooshed some gloss on two tags and then wasn't sure what to do next...

I smooshed some paint using a round brush and a swirly motion on the journal page and then added some white gloss using the end of the spray tube 

I like the way the page looks, I might do something else with it....

in an attempt to find something for the page I added paint through this new stencil with a flat brush almost managing not to get the paint under the stencil!!  

I really like these pastel paint colours and might have to get the newly released glosses to go with them (I resisted when I bought the stencils recently.  

Last week saw the penultimate early entry at Kew, so this week is the final one of the summer (boo, boo,)  and sadly at the moment meant to be wet (still going though)  

the recent rain and cooler temperatures meant there were lots of mushrooms all over the place

but we did also find some remnants of summer colour!

Thanks for looking, happy WOYWW and see you soon.

 Happy Wednesday, deskers - time to report for action with Sarah at Sarah's CraftShed for another WOYWW .  My week off flew by as they tend to, and I managed a further Kew visit after last week's desk share.  

I also gave myself back ache with some crafting - too long on the floor!  

a journal page started in the Kraft journal - not finished 

I used the cut out coaster shape stencil on a different journal page and added some stamped raven images  

this one's finished! 

a third journal page - this one's actually finished too 

and a birthday card for my boss Monica using some of the previously stored stamped and coloured flowers

I'm running out of pink poppies now so will have to stamp some more! 

I'll link Kew from Saturday but the post before the linked one was also from last week 

there'd been some rain but it made some fabulous  reflections on the lake crossing 

and then later the sun really came out 

there's a new exhibition opening for Saturday called Material World which will be interesting to see - watch this space ! 

WOYWW 849

 Happy Wednesday, ladies! Time for WOYWW again. 

So the goodies I was waiting for arrived last Wednesday (of course)  

I bought some of the new Dina August release, and stacked up on another Ledger journal as they were out of stock so long, I grabbed one when it was available again!  

I started a page with the coaster stencil 

and the petals stenncil 

I wasn't sure what to do with the first page so cut a page out of the ledger journal having drawn round the coaster stencil and then cut it out with a craft knife.

it will feature on the page somewhere !  

I am off work this week (you may have come across two blogs of my days out so far, one was Kew again and Tuesday was London - despite the tube strike. 

I won't link all the posts, it would be too much, I am sure you know where to find them if you want to! 

here's a taster though 

nothing if not varied! 

Thanks for dropping by - I'll be visiting at some time today (the weather looks as if it's not a out taking photographs day but it could change)  

Happy WOYWW  

WOYWW 848

 Happy WOYWW one and all.  Another week has flown by and Sarah has the link as usual 

I had hoped to have new goodies this week to show but they're not here yet... due to be delivered to work today . 

I did start another page in the ledger journal though 

layers of paint, and stencils 

then added some stamped images and some tissue birds 

We're running out of early entries at Kew (they go so fast) so it was good to see some sunshine last weekend 

I did a lot of wide angle shooting which enhances the blue sky beautifully!

and the centrepiece in the Carbon Garden

This is  me trying to get up again after photographing on the floor!  

I will probably be late round most people's desks this week as we have a team meeting in the afternoon and we're staying on for drinks and possibly something to eat afterwards (we go to the local Holiday Inn so there are no phones )

so I'll see you when I can!  Happy WOYWW
