WOYWW 300 # What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

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

Hi Workdesk friends. 

Back again for another Wednesday or at least it's not because this is extra special as it is the 300th WOYWW!

What an achievement Julia!

We all love you to bits girl!

I for one am sure I would never have made so many great blogging friend if it hadn't been for this weekly get-together.

So here I am 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 and our dear host Julia will explain and all will be revealed.

And here is my desk this week.

First the mess Lol!

I have labelled some of it so you can see what I've been up to but you will need to click on it for a better view.

And then there was this! 

My Masterboard for February has just arrived back from Gloria.

Posted the photos of this on Monday if you want to see more.

I just seem to have had so many things going on at the same time but managed to clear it in order to work on my Tim Holtz tag.

This was rather a last minute but managed in the end to finish it and pleased I did as I got a great surprise when I found it had been included as one of the winning tags for February!!!

Hope that wasn't too long.

I'm off to look at what the others have been up to, hope you'll join me.

Happy woyww crafting,

Breaking News!

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

We are very pleased to say that we did not go skiing last week or that we were going this week as there have been road blocks all weekend due to a large rock falling into the road about 9 km from the bottom of the mountain (Moutiers town).

Luckily it happened on Friday when the roads were fairly quiet so no-one was there when it happened.
It is a very large rock!!!!

Apparently it also caused problems on the Motor Way as no-one could get passed which meant the traffic was at a standstill for miles behind it and people in the resorts could not get out.

This is what it looked like:

This is the link to the Daily Mail who reported on it if you are interested.

Have a good weekend and take care.

Tim Holtz Tag for February 2015.

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

I have been planning to join in with the tags but other things just kept getting in the way, however I have made the effort (after a little push from my friend Kelly who thought my chocolate bar would be a good layout for the tag) and managed to get it finished, though it was tight. Thanks Kelly!

This is Tim's Tag for February 2015.

And this is mine.

I decided to use some of the Tim Holtz fabrics for my interpretation of Tim's tag plus the addition of some embellishments this is what I came up with.

I started with these:

And when I was satisfied with the arrangement I stitched the pieces together before attaching it to the tag.

I quite liked the button paper that Tim had used but didn't have fabric like that so I have actually sewn on some small buttons which seem to have worked quite well.

I have made the heart in felt but sewn it to another piece of Tim's fabric so that the heart opens up revealing the patterned fabric below. 

The 14 was a small piece again cut from one of Tim's fabrics and has a small clear tag attached to give it more dimension.

Small amounts of antique lace have also been added to soften the effect.

I used a Faber-Castell artist pen for the shadow, quite like these as they come in different shades.

Just a few closeups to show you.

I have put a little bit of wadding into the globe to make it 3D but not sure how clear that is?

Altogether I am quite pleased with the finished tag and hope to join in again next month.

I have just made the deadline for joining in this month with a few hours to go. If you would like to pop over and have a look click here to see Tim's tag.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

WOYWW 299 # What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

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

Hi Workdesk friends.
Back again for another Wednesday.

Angela here 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 and our dear host Julia will explain and all will be revealed.

So here is my desk this week.

But before I show you I have to warn you that it may not be quite what you expect......

Have you guessed what is on my desk?

Well here it is a bar of chocolate.

A gift from a friend and when I opened it.... just look at the design!

Inspiration comes from everywhere Lol! 

and this is proof of it.

I just had to photograph this fantastic design.

 Now wonder where this will take me?

Fairly quick today, just how you like it!

Not a lot to see as I have been busy making place cards for a friend's wedding anniversary lunch and practising with the new alcohol pens of course.

Birthday cards, Mother's Day, Father's Day cards, loads more to follow and that's before I even think of swaps and DT stuff.

Hope you all have a great WOYWW, 
I'm off now to check out what the rest of you have been up to.

Happy crafting,

Restauration de Notre Dame de la Vie

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

Sorry no Masterboard today but hope you enjoy this instead.

Some of you who viewed my Ski pics were interested in the Churches.
This is the one closest to the resort where we stay.

I would like to thank Jackie as she asked for photographs of the inside but we only really pass it when arriving or leaving the mountain so I thought it would be nice to see if I could find some on-line.

I have uploaded some photographs and a link to the website which shows the recent renovation of the building both inside and out.

So first a few photographs of the inside.

 And the Renovation.

 

This is complete now and here are a few photographs showing a better view of the outside.

Hope you enjoyed looking, have a great week.
