WOYWW 28.04

 
Hello Blogging Buddies.

It's Wednesday and that means time for another WOYWW.  

Well, what is on my workdesk today?


A MESS, that's what, and a Thomas !!!

Now, here's a puzzle for you.  You may have heard of "Where's Wally?"  Well my version is "Where's Thomas?"


Here he is LOL!!!


Honestly, it really is getting to be beyond a joke. As soon as my photo tent comes out Thomas gets in it - what is this all about? !!

After all the excitement of the photo tent, Thomas went off to find his friend Pablo for a little cuddle Ahhh !!!


Anyway, I'm off to Julia's Blog to see what everyone else has on their workdesks today.  Please feel free to pop along too and join in if you dare LOL!!!

Digi Stamps at Cuddly Buddly

    
Hi

Did you know that Cuddly Buddly now have their own range of Digi Stamps?  I love my rubber stamps, but digis are so versatile.  You can easily alter the size of each image to suit your needs and, of course, they take up no storage space. 

Here's a card I've made using the Daisy With Balloons Digi.


I've coloured the image using my Copic Markers and used some Glossy Accents on the balloons.  The papers are also downloadable from Cuddly Buddly.  The ribbon is from my stash.


I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Angels - Summer
Cupcake Craft Challenges - Don't be square


Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you like it.

Hi

I'm a little late with my workspace today, and there's not much going on either !!!

There's an image of Edwin that I've coloured and another image that's part coloured. 
I still need to do something with the template hubby made me and I want to alter the After Eight Tube too - so many ideas yet so little time !!!


That's Thomas sitting there in the corner, I have to watch him or he'll steal something !!!

Here he is stretching up - not sure what he is after !



And Pablo resting at the bottom of the stairs - such a sensible place to rest don't you think !?!

WOYWW 14 April

 
Hi

I can't believe that it's Wednesday again already !!!!  Time for ths week's WOYWW

Not much going on here I'm afraid



I've painted this Tilda using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads and now I want to make her into a card, but I'm not really sure how I want it !!!  I do like the way she turned out though, it made a nice change from my usual Copic colouring!!! Although, I now NEED to buy all the new colours (ahem maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all !!!)
Here's a couple of photo's of Thomas getting into mischief - I think he fancies himself as a bit of a model !!!




"Do you think this Photo Tent improves my colour Mum?"

Anyway, time for a nosy.  Hop on over Julia's Blog to see what the other WOYWWers are up to and if you're feeling brave you can always join in !!!

Wednesday again !!!

Here's my desk ....


Hubby's made another template for me, so I am in the process of making this up.  You can see the prototype there.   I've also got some stamps to mount - I really don't enjoy this job, but I guess it has to be done !!! 

I bet you're all wondering whether Hubby labelled my CD cases for me.   He says, and I quote, "Of course I did, because I'm wonderful and fabulous" - Oh dear, I seem to have created a monster LOL!!!


And last but by no means least, here are some kitty pics to keep your addictions fed!!!


Thomas, just checking today's mail!!

Hi

Well, April is here and that means another challenge over at In2Stamps.  This month the challenge is to make a Spring themed card or gift idea using an In2Stamps stamp.

Here's my card.


I used the "Elmit in Tomato Can" stamp.  This stamp made me think of April Showers, which is a sure sign of Spring here in the UK !!!

I coloured the image using my Copic Markers.  I used some Ranger Glossy Accents on the raindrops, but the camera hasn't picked this up very well. 


As always, In2Stamps is offering a fantastic prize to the lucky winner of this month's challenge.


16 sheets Marianne Design Eline's Vintage patterned papers
3 In2stamps stamps of your choice

So, hop on over to the In2Stamps Challenge Blog and check out the rest of the Design Team's fabulous creations.  The challenge lasts for the whole month of April, so you have plenty of time to join in.

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Colouring Medium: Copic Markers
Paper & Card: From my stash
Tools: Nesties Labels Eight with Sizzix Big Shot
