well that week went fast again... here we are back to share our crafty workspaces once again. Julia as always, hosts
Amazingly, my floor shows signs of crafting activity - I don't really count the birthday cards because those were "must do"... at least both ladies liked them!

 but my large journal has been calling me... when I made the wedding card a few weeks ago for my work colleague Josh, I had turned the stencil covered in gloss gel paste down onto the empty page to get a reverse impression of the design and to avoid wasting the spare gel.

I took a couple of Lindys Stamp Gang sprays and spritzed over the page, and let it drip and run..

I filled some gaps with some DecoArt crackle paste

I added some distress oxides in toning colours (broken china and twited citron)

the right hand page has some tinted paste that I used for one of the birthday cards, smeared on randomly, (mixed up quite a bit more than I needed, as you can see) and although it doesn't show I added crackle paste to that too.

that's as far as it's got, the journal has been sat there since Sunday...


On Saturday I went to Kew, again.  I was keen to see some more of the temporary Sculpt at Kew exhibits...  just before I left, I saw one that was just perfect for our lovely LLJ -
the full post is here  but in case you can't stop by to see all of them, here is "Jan's"

not a very good picture, as I was in a rush at the time, I'll get some better ones  this weekend - I'll be heading back again this Saturday, it's the last day of their special opening early at 8am for members for the end of the season, so at least after this weekend, I get to have a bit of a lie in on a Saturday - but I'll be heading back lots after then anyway.

So, when you're all getting together at the crop at Margaret's I'll be at Kew - but with you in spirit - have a fabulous time, and take lots of pictures please!
