WOYWW 869

 Welcome back for an other week's WOYWW meeting at Sarah's Craft Shed. We're already at the end of the month, unbelievably.  I hope you've all stayed dry and free of floods and storms. 

I've been quite busy this weekend with my crafting.

I made a birthday card for a friend, with a tag I'd already stencilled the base pattern on, and mounted it on a card and added the layers. 

I added some layers to a journal page that had used the same stencil as the card,  with some collage tissue and more stencilling (the words are from Seth Apter designs for Stencil Girl) 

and the mop up in the Dina watercolour journal (neon paints used on the transparency figures in the card, with some added pink)

and then some new Dina goodies arrived. (I haven't bought any of the new Paperartsy goodies ....yet) 

the top 2 packs are coloured transparencies 

Saturday's trip to Kew saw a beautiful sunny winter's day... 

there are in the Alpine House, but I hope you can tell the amount of sun shining through the windows illuminating them.

I'll leave it there,  Happy WOYWW see you soon.

Neet, I heard you are home from hospital and I hope you are recovering and that we see you on the desks again soon.  much love.

 Welcome once more , fellow deskers,  Wednesday again, time for WOYWW at Sarah's CraftShed  . 

I am about to put in an order for some new Paperartsy stamps (oops)  and hoping by writing this first I won't order all of them.....

so let me share what happened to last week's journal page. 

I added some collage tissue (the faces) and a bit of transparency (the pattern) and some stamped words from a Dina set 

oh yes, and some stencilled lines (top left bottom right) and some script stamping in the background, using a toning ink colour (toning so well that I can't see it in the photo !)

Kim and I were surprised on Saturday at Kew by some sunny spells - it was meant to be cloudy - but no complaints!

sun behind clouds gives an almost black and while feel to the trees.  

colour was found from Goldie, the golden pheasant in the woodland area. 

we've kept missing him the last few times so we timed it well this week 

Sending continued love to Neet and to anyone else who is under the weather. 

Happy WOYWW all.

 Here we are again, at Wednesday - time for  WOYWW .   I hope you've all had a good week and Neet, if you're reading this I hope you are feeling better. 

I added some more details to the journal page from last week, but haven't searched out a quote or any words to add to it yet. 

the opposite page, I tried to add some stencilled words but the paint either splodged or didn't show up over the background, so I re-stencilled the pattern over the page again 

.... and stopped!  

Saturday was of course Kew..  it was meant to be sunny but at the last moment the forecast changed and it was dull... 

there were 2 swans back on the lake, for the first time in months. 

they made Kim and I laugh, skating over the still icy lake!  there were some great reflections though. 

there was some colour in the Temperate House

Hopefully next week will be a little brighter (and the forecast changes from the currently wet one!!)

See you at a desk near you soon.  happy WOYWW

 Welcome one and all, it's Wednesday again and time to share our crafty spaces at WOYWW.

I have been mostly trying to keep warm from the cold 

I did managed to put some colour on another journal page though so I have at least something to show!

Kim and I got cold first off  at Kew on Saturday but it was very bright, and sunny again and by the time we left we even felt reasonably warm...

patterns in frost 

the birds were funny sliding about on the frozen lake

thanks for dropping by - I hope you are all safe from the snow and ice and I do hope Neet is recovering.  

happy WOYWW
