HAPPY WOYWW 2nd ANNIVERSARY

Morning lovely crafters and all my WOYWW friends, the big day has finally arrived. My pif is made and ready to go so I hope whoever follows me on the list today likes it, it was made and will be sent with my love. I thought I better get posting early as we are up early and on our way out. It's half term here in the UK and Hubby has the week off too, his first holiday since Christmas, so we are making the most of it.


Here is my desk as I left it last night. I am in the middle of a card making session spurred on after making the ATC for The Stampman swap, which you can see further down this post. I had the beautiful Habico Oriental stamps out and decided to carry on stamping with them. I've coloured them with distress inks and promarkers, nothing like mixing mediums!!

You can't see from the photo but I'm also sharing the dining table with my Hubby who is on his computer on the other side playing World Of Warcraft!!!!! Don't get me started. Still he doesn't complain about my crafting so I try not to complain about his gaming obsession.

If you want to celebrate with Julia the 2nd Anniversary of this wonderful world of work desks she has created then pop over to her lovely blog and see what it's all about. I promise you won't be disappointed.


Now, on to the ATC I made for the Stampman ATC Swap. The first of the month certainly comes round with some speed and this time the theme is TREES. I saw a lady on C&C using shaving brushes with inks and remembered I had some stashed away and dug them out to have a play with creating a little scene using torn paper. I used Broken China and Bundled Sage Distress Inks after masking the blossom branches which were stamped first. The flowers are painted in with Worn Lipstick and some stickles added for a touch of bling. After struggling with the size of ATC's initially I'm beginning to like the challenge now.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the week whatever you are doing.

  1. Lovely ATC and I know what you mean about DH not complaining about your hobby so you have to keep quiet about his.
    Notice you have joined the asterisk club - I too forgot on my first posting to include it. But then I forgot a lot of other things too - really messed up today. #15

  3. As someone else who's partner is always playing video games, I can sympathise! Although you are right in saying it's good he has his own little obsession :-)

    A very happy 2nd WOYWW birthday to you Lisa. I've really enjoyed reading your blog and always appreciate the lovely, encouraging comments you make on mine.

    We WILL meet up for that coffee one day!

  12. Looks like some beautiful card and ATC making going on! Before our kids were born, I would sit in my craft room "playing" while my husband sat on the other side of the wall "playing" on the computer in his office! He hasn't done it much since the kids were born because I lost my craft room to the baby, and he doesn't want to wake anybody up by being in the office while they're asleep. But, it's true that hubbies are more tolerant of our crafting "habit" if they are busy with "habits" of their own! :-) Happy WOYWW!

  18. Never had a go at ATC's - yet another thing to add to the list. I was another one who forgot the asterisk the first time - I think there were quite a few of us. Never mind, we got there in the end. Thanks for all your support and lovely comments. Happy anniversary.
