WOYWW 205



It's WOYWW they do come around so quickly!  If you want to find out more click on the link and go check out Julia and her WOYWW page.  It's addictive, so you have been warned.

Here on my little "worktray" you can see some new ideas I've been trying out.  I had some plastic packaging I was going to throw in the recycle bin and then changed my mind!  Instead I cut it into A6 sized pieces and put them through my Cuttlebug.  I used some border edges and they are in the process of being made into cards.  I also had some more ideas with the embossed card which you will see made into cards soon.

Also as so many of you were interested in my "Weetabix card" (please note other breakfast cereals are available to use!). I decided to make a small photo tutorial for you which I will post after WOYWW so look out for that one. 

The UFO I saw yesterday (bright yellow circle in the sky, very strange!) has now disappeared and we're back to coats and a nice hot cup of coffee later (my one a day I'm allowed!).

Have fun and keep smiling!

Well the emossing works a treat, huh! When you wanna get inky with it..use a brilliance or something that will dry inside the embossing folder, messy, but another way to 'stain' the image. Clever you. One cup of coffee..Oh my life...I need that just to get the sheet imprint off my face!!

Great work space, thanks for sharing.

Have a great week and happy crafting
