Hi Workdesk friends.
Here we are for another Wednesday at the Workdesk.
I am here again to show you:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".
If you don't know what this is all about then please visit the
Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.
So here is my desk for today!
I think we should have the UFO challenge more often as it gave me the push to use some stuff that's been sitting around for ages.
Some of you commented about the postage stamps that I had collected.
I am being honest now that I didn't realise that I had so many.
I Bought some at a country show from a charity, I remember that and I always take them off envelopes at Christmas but I have a packet from W H Smiths and do not remember when I got those at all.
However I have been good and started doing something with them and I've created a kind of Masterboard thingy to get me started. I have to say it took a while putting this together but I found it quite relaxing really.
I'm working on a card but not quite there yet as I've had a few distractions but my mum is picking up nicely.
Anyway the desk has a few dies by Poppy stamps and Memory Box which I'm using and other than that it's all the usual bits and pieces.
On the left some rubber gloves, my daylight lamp, some enamel dots and a scanned copy of the new mastrboard.
On the right are various types of glue and my box of tools and Baby wipes.
Hope to have something made for you to see next week.
For now stay safe.
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,

Hi Angela. Had to chuckle at your comment about so many stamps... I had this image of you drowning under the pile of them - sorry!! They look good all stuck down together - well done.
Take care. Stay safe. God bless.

Good morning, Angela.
Do you always think masterboards? LOL I do love the idea of doing one with stamps. I might have to give this a shot on a small piece. Thank you for the lovely visit last week. I always love when you stop by. No desk for me this week. Dealing with personal security issue. Hugs & Creative Blessings! ~Kel
Hi Angela, I too take stamps of envelopes, and have some bought from various places, with the intention of using them. Not got round to it yet though.Like the masterboard idea with them.Have a great week, Stay safe, Hugs, Shaz #17 X
Amazing master board Angela, the stamps are looking wonderful and I can see you have lots of my favourite Andy Goldsworthy ones on there - can't wait to see what you do with it.
Hope you have a good week,
Hugs, Diana x #21
I used to love looking at stamps as a child - they always fascinate me even now. I save them for a local charity. Your masterboard looks fab - we will all want to see what happens to it! xx Jo #12
That really is a very cool masterboard - I look forward to seeing what you make with it. Happy WOYWW. Stay safe my friend, and I hope you have a good week. With love & God Bless, Caro x (#4)
Hi Angela, oh I agree I really tried hard to finish sorting stamps because of that challenge. Love the stamp board that is under construction too. It totally makes me think maybe I should unearth mine and see how many of them there really are. ha, not yet have to finish sorting stamps first. but, I really like the idea of a background to build on. ~Stacy #32
I must say that your desk is looking remarkably tidy my crafty friend.
I have a box of stamps that I bought when my girls were small. You could buy them in packets for £1 in one of our local 'Alladin's Cave' shops. They came in themed packets ie flowers, animals, travel, etc. I still have most of them as I just can't seem to part with them although I always forget to add them to anything. Perhaps I will have to try a masterboard lol.

Finally visiting after a morning of plumbers and clean up!
Love the postage stamp master board! You got the colors well scrambled! Looking forward to projects!
Thanks for popping by and have a great week!

Love what you are doing with the stamps.
Thanks for the visit BJ#11
Oooh I love your postage stamp masterboard, Angela! That's really original. I am sure you will do something amazing with it, as usual! Thank you for your visit and I'm glad you liked my wedding dress. I designed the dresses myself and mine was mixed-ethnic really - a cross between Russian and Thai! I think the kitties liked their card. Ruby gave it a good sniff when I showed her, but Lily hasn't showed much interest really. Reading between the lines what you said about your dogs, I think our old cat Beatrice would have been the same - it would have got CHEWED!!!
Happy WOYWW,

Like what you've started with those stamps Angela, sure you will do something amazing with it. I had to smile that you had a packet of stamps you don't recall buying - that would be half my craft room. Thanks for your visit, yes, we must both keep trudging around doing our watering. A small price to pay for suxh glorious weather. Happy belated WOYWW, Stay well, Stay safe, Cindy #14

Your desk looks great. And I like that collection of stamps you have.
Hi Angela! I like how you are using your stamps. I collect stamps from different countries. I love seeing all the detail in the beautiful international stamps. It's fun to repurpose items. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
Stay well.

What a great Masterboard, and I'm glad to hear that your mom is doing better these days. Onwards and upwards, Angela - looking forward to seeing more!!
Well, that's a different kind of "stamped" background - a great first layer for a masterboard with a difference.

What a fun idea to use the stamps in this way and I am so looking forward to seeing what amazing creations you do with it x. Sending hugs x
I love how you layed down those stamps, and can think of it being medidative doing so.. would make a great canvas or card, just the stamps like it is... Sorry I am late with my return visit, happy belated woyww, have nice weekend! Love from Holland. Marit #25
I can imagine that sticking all those stamps down was quite therapeutic. Sending lots of love to you and your mum for brighter days ahead xx
ooh that is a LOT of stamps! Must admit I collect mine all through the year to send to RNIB each January as they sell them to raise money. Also LOVED the photo of your mum on your latest post too!!
