WOYWW 278


Well, today's been a busy day - I intended to do something for WOYWW 278 much earlier today, but this is now my first opportunity.

You can see some Christmas things that need to be sorted and tidied, having had the goodies out when I was making cards for the challenge blog deadlines. You can also see a few things that are out ready for making a few more necessary cards.


A couple of weeks ago I said I would tidy up some of my unmounted stamps, so some progress has been made with the clear acrylic ones:


Earlier today I blogged a few cards for the start of some challenges - if you wish to you can scroll down to see these, including the new Buckwells Crafty Challenge blog - I am privileged to be part of the team for this new venture. I was pleased with the card I created for this, so thought I'd also include it here - I used the Lavinia stamps that you can see in the front of the box above, making a background with gelli plate, masks and acrylic paints:


Off now to have a look at what everyone else has been doing for WOYWW 278, including, of course, Julia, the queen on WOYWW - and if you still don't know what I'm talking about, please click the link, find out and join in the fun and the snooping!!

Oh ... and thanks for all the visits and comments last week - much appreciated.

  14. Lots of gorgeous goodies on your desk this week, Hazel, waiting to be made up! I love what you've done with the gelli plate. This is something I haven't tried yet.

    Thanks for your visit and your nice comment - I don't consider a WOYWW comment to be late until afte 11.59 p.m. on the Tuesday night lol!! I love them spread out through the week. I am glad you like what I'm up to at the moment, and my first piece of felt! I made another one last night, and have just uploaded the blog post about the class. Felt making is soooo much fun!

    Happy belated WOYWW,

    It's never too late to comment. I take a whole week to hop from desk to desk. (Today is Thursday and I got to yours)
    Thank you for letting me look over your shoulder.
    Have a good week,

  31. I like how your little pile of Christmas looks like it got shoved over to one side! And I loved your card when I saw it on Sparkles. Did you check Stamping Sensations blog yet? You and I both got Top3 using the exact same image!

  33. Lovely fairy card, Hazel! (I'm always a little slow with my woywwing, and only on very rare occasions make it to every desk--so you just drop in whenever you feel like it, okay?)

    Thank you for stopping in this week, and a happy woyww to you!
