WOYWW - 864 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

Not very exciting I'm sure you're thinking but for good reason.

I'm in the middle of having a tidy up ready to start something other than Christmas stuff but have found time to work in the journal again.

If you like this the instructions for making can be found here:

As I had my christmas card here last week I've done an extra festive journal page for you instead.

You might guess by now that I've been playing with techniques to make a Aurora Borealis.

Hope you like them.

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to and if you're here today I would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas

and a great woyww

Make it on Monday.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you a new ledger journal page:

Couldn't resist having a go at creating the Aurora Borealis.

They look so beautiful.

After adding the background I worked on the colours using a variety of Distress oxide inks.

I didn't want to over do my first go at this.

After adding the colours I splattered white paint to give the effect of stars and then stamped on the trees and heat embossed them with clear powder. 

This looks better in real life as it's not easy to photograph.

Then finished this with a sentiment.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week though it doesn't feel like much as I've been staying in finishing Christmas stuff and waiting for the postman.

The Red Arrows are back and have been doing lots of practice over the last few weeks.

And they're not the only thing flying by!

I have never lived anywhere before where there are

so many Magpies.

We have quite a collection here.

 

This is at the bottom of our garden, just over the fence.

Guess it's because no one collects their eggs anymore.

I don't know about buying from a second hand Craft store, I could do with giving them some stash but it's right I do feel happy when I get to buy new stash.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

WOYWW - 863 - What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

I'm not sure how many of you will be here next Wednesday as it's Christmas Eve so I'm wishing you all a Merry Christmas today just in case and a special wish for Neet too.

Made this card for my hubby but thought you might like it too.

My new journal page for this week and the details can be found here:

Everything's ready to start the next journal page but I'm afraid you will have to wait for this one.

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you another page in my Ledger journal:

I've placed low tack tape around the edge and applied some Distress ink on the surface by placing it onto a stamping block, spray a little water onto the ink and then tap the colour lightly onto the page. You need to dry this a little between colours.

I have this new stencil by Honey Doo Crafts and I wanted to try it out so this looked like a good place to start.

Once this was dry I splattered it with white paint and then stamped over it with a Honey Doo stamp.

I coloured the flowers and leaves but then decided I wanted the flowers to stand out more.

I stamped the image again and heat embossed it then coloured the flowers and added a clear glaze.

Next cut the flowers out and attached them in place.

The flowers stand out much better now.

I felt it needed a little extra and applied Stickles Glitter glue along some of the lines around the stencil then added the sentiment.

 This was a great way to test out this stencil and stamp and hope you like it too.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

Another garden centre to show you this week.

We saw this house in the garden centre!

I wonder if you can guess where we saw it?

And here's the answer. 

You put them on your TV like screen savers.

 I should have done a Video actually as the snow on this one looked gorgeous falling.

This is Brigg garden centre (near Scunthorpe) and they always decorate it beautifully for Christmas.

I love these guys they are so cute.

Love the Post Box too.

And these Guys entertaining everyone.

Thursday I met up with my friends that I used to work with.

Scones, Coffee and lots of chat....lovely.

Today I'm off to the Hairdressers and taking the dogs for a haircut too and then off to pick up some new spectacles.....it's all go but I'll get round to seeing what you've all been up to when I get back.

So I'll finish now but couldn't resist this....

Lots of you can relate to this too!

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.
