WOYWW 142

Afternoon lovely crafters and dear WOYWW friends. I'm late again this week. No excuses this time because the weather is awful, but I'm very good at spending hours doing very little and then wondering where the day has gone.


Here's my desk today. I'm in the middle of some makes for my little basket where I sell my cards. It's being going great guns lately and I'm having trouble keeping up with demand, which is a lovely problem to have I have to admit.

I thought I'd show you the miserable weather I've been looking out on here in Yorkshire today so it's made my desk a little dark, sorry about that. As you can see I'm back in my craft room today. Bet you get dizzy with all this running around I do. I get on quicker in there as everything is to hand so tend to be more productive.


I was very lucky to win Kezzy's generous blog candy last week. thanks so muck Kezzy I love it all, there are some fantastic things that I shall get a lot of pleasure from using. She also enclosed a lovely card which you might be able to spot on my desk. It's under my nose so that I can keep admiring it.

I've shown you mine so lets see yours. Pop over to see the Desk Headmistress, Julia, HERE and get desk hopping.

It was half term here last week and as DD was still recuperating from her recent Chicken Pox we managed to do some crafting together which was nice. It was my Best Friend's birthday last weekend so we made her some special cards.


Mine was inspired by a card I saw on my WOYWW travels last week on Zoe's lovely Blog. I've had this Stamp from Sheena for ages uninked so it was high time to use it. I hope you don't mind me borrowing your idea, Zoe. I was really pleased with the end result and will try it with other flowers now.


DD used her new Gorjuss girl stamp and coloured her with my new flexmarkers. I think I have competition here, don't you?

My friend loved her cards so it was an afternoon well spent.

Well, that's me today. I will try and do better getting round more desks this week, time just ran out on me last week so thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting.

Hi Lisa

Wow, what fabulous cards! Tee, hee - I think your DD is a cardmaker in the making (lock up your stash instead of lock up your daughters here I suspect!).

Right chick, you mentioned tootling off to look for a Dove blender to use with chalks - I had a bit of a search but found them over at Crafts U Love online. I bought a blender pen, bottle of blender liquid and two packs of spare nibs - with P and P it cost £17.75. I figured it was cheaper than launching into Pan Pastels :))

Happy WOYWW!! Di xx

Loving your cards Lisa, especially the first one. To be honest I would never of thought of putting such a bold flower in front of the scenery stamp but it works really well. It’s amazing how we gain inspiration from each other’s blogs (as we know) and that’s just what today is all about.

Congratulations on the candy win too. It looks like to have some wonderful new things to play with there.

Happy Crafting!

Hi Lisa, lovely cards and yes, I think your daughter is shaping up very nicely as competition for you ... her colouring is very nice. I am stunned that you had that stamp and not inked it up yet! Shame about the rain ... we've had it here all day :( I've not seen any iris out in bloom up here yet, maybe a week or two to go. As for the tidying, sadly, it's a bit of a compulsion and/or a distraction for me, and it does have its bonuses ... I frequently find things I had forgotten but liked :)) Have a great week.

Jo said...

For sure your DD is going to give you a little friendly competition there. I remember seeing Zoe's card from last week and enjoy your take on it. It is so cool how inspirational WOYWW can be. I noticed the rain outside your window right off. We are coming up on a weekend where it almost always rains, but none is in the forecast. If there is truly no rain then for sure the world will end soon. Happy crafting!

Oh wow, your poppy card is beautiful. Of course I don't mind you using it, I'm flattered that you thought my card was inspirational enough. You've made my day! Hope you enjoy this week's snoop around the creative desks for WOYWW. I'm still nosing, I know it's Friday, but I will get to everyone! Take care Zo xx 81
