WOYWW # 260 What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday

Hi WOYWW friends,  hope you are all well on this special day lol!

Here we are again for another week on my desk and desks throughout the world, brought to you by our host Julia at the Stamping Ground.

But this week is extra special as it is..........drum role!!!....

           The WOYWW's 5th birthday.




Don't know what I am babbling on about? then visit the Stamping Ground and all will be revealed.

And here is my desk offering for this week.

You guessed it... ATCs are the order of the day.
I made this Masterboard some weeks ago and it started off looking like this:


 
Instructions for making this Masterboard can be found here.
 
I have made a greeting card with part of it and the remaining card to make the anniversary ATCs.
 
I used some satin board to cut the numbers which were to be the focal point for the ATCs, using a Tim Holtz die.


 
I had not originally intended making envelopes to go with the cards
but as there was plenty of paper I decided to add those too.


 
I hope you all have a great week and happy WOYWW birthday.
 
Back soon,
 
Angela x

Your masterboard looks fab and I love the ATCs from it. So much easier than doing them one by one! Oddly, although I am having a lot of trouble getting to blogger desks today, YOUR blog popped right up. Got totally ambushed yesterday so late to the party I hope this shows up...

Happy 5 year WOYWW!

HI Angela,
Thanks for visiting and being jealous of me doing Foxton lacks, but perhaps you wouldn't have been so jealous if you realised that it poured with rain all day and even got into the camera and stopped it working.
Your master board is fabulous, I've never used one, but when I get home I will folow your link and have a go. Probably won't be as good as yours though.
bless you,
Chris #19

Nan G said...

Love the ATCs! I made three master boards! Kept mucking them up finally ended up using the catch paper (overspray catcher) for my ATCs. No thought involved and they turned out nice. Go figure... ;D Thanks for the earlier visit! Hugs and Happy WOYWW5! Nan G #73

Kim said...

Hmm, Masterboard...will give it a look! I love your ATC;s, and thanks for the tip on the Crocodile...DUH! I forgot it could punch through the panel.. To Another year of WOYWWing!

I love the background you created and the way it looks with the TH cargo numbers stencil. The envelopes were a very clever addition. Blessings!

I'm so glad to see another person started with a masterboard for the WOYWW 5 ATCs. But that's where the similarity ends. Yours are incredible. And envies for them, too. Clever you! I'm running late because of my continued internet woes, but happy belated WOYWW 5 from #21. And thanks for visiting me earlier, too.

Minxy said...

what a clever use of the number die, i have them and don't think i've used them more than once!!
Happy Belated 5th WoYwW Anniversary xo I'm still trying to catch up!
Hugs Minxy #4

Hettie said...

I haven't heard of a masterboard before so I'll have to check that out. Love the ATCs - still working on mine...... yep, I'm late in visiting desks AND late in getting my ATCs out. Bad me!

Thank you for visiting me already. I can't believe it's already Sunday and I'm just now getting around.
Happy belated WOYWW

Lovely desk and exciting goings-on this week, Angela. What delightful ATCs. 'Scuse my ignorance, but what's a "masterboard"?
Thanks for visiting.

Hi Angela
5 certainly is the focus of your ATCs they look great. Making a masterboard is the best way to do these isn't it. I made 2 x A4 sheets and made 16 it was fun playing again I haven't done any for ages. Thanks for your visit ... I'm still playing catch up with visits
