WOYWW - 460 - 28.3.18



Morning crafty friends!!

I hope you are all well! If you would like to peek at some more desks or join in please swing by Julia's page here.

So here is my desk...


Please excuse the peeled off paint from the wall behind, hoping to get round to giving it a fresh coat soon. Anyyyyyyhow from left to right ; flower press I am using to put specimens into my fairy junk journal. Pen, inks, a canvas board I painted like a night sky recently. An ATC book box a lovely lady gave me, I decorated it last night, the tweezers are holding it closed. The ribbon on the right will be used to close it once everything is dry. Atc blank boards and oxides obviously hehe. 




This is the fairy junk journal, it's a chunky beast which I am enjoying writing in. Ontop of it is some spritzed inky journaling cards that are waiting to be popped in the journal. 

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday !
Crafty hugs !

    oooo Ellie... Will you please share some of the inside of the fairy journal? I'm planting more flowers myself this year in hopes of drying some. I don't have a press but several big-city phone books I've been saving for the occasion! Creative Blessings! Kelly #29

      This is a link to the page where there is photos of inside the journal. Lots more has been added since. If the link isn't working just go back through my posts and you will see a picture of the journal as the thumbnail. Oh yes you need to press some flowers, they look so delicate and beautiful. Have a lovely day ! Thank you for stopping by.

    It's so lovely to see someone pressing flowers - it seems to have gone out of fashion recently but the results are so pretty! And that ATC box is fab, what a lovely way to store all those amazing atcs!

    Ellie I have never seen flower press before. Not that i can use one as we have very few flowers here as we are on lime stone. Sounds like exciting plans for journals.

    My eldest daughter has one of those presses from when she was very small - she's 21 soon and we were just talking about it the other day - I think I need to get one. An ATC book box, what a brilliant idea - I'll have to look out for those.

    Thank you for stopping by to see me already.

    Hi Ellie, that is certainly an impressive fairy journal! The flower press brought back memories of when my daughters were small. They had a press and lived it! I can't for the life of me think what happened to it! Thanjs for stopping by earlier. Have a lovely week Heather x #37

    Hi Ellie, I'm sure I have, or had, a flower press somewhere. Not something you see much of these days. that's an old pastime, almost forgotten now. Running late this week, got distracted by the chance to do some gardening again yesterday! Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #8 XxX

    Crikey! Each time I enlarge the photos and come back here I delete what I have said already. It must be a large fairy to have a book so big - bet it is delightful inside. Love the canvas and the atc box.

    Lovely projects, Ellie, especially the ATC book box. Thank you for your comment and I’m so glad you like my album. My surgery went ahead and I was sent home Sunday. Yesterday though, they readmitted me because of bleeding from my stoma but I’m due to go home this afternoon.

 Good Morning Friends Happy WOYWW! So today, my desk is a tad empty. Yesterday there was no room to move as I had finished the advent swap envelopes.  So I had a trip to Bristol so popped into Hobbycraft to grab a few things, one being this pack on pretty coloured cardstock. I have also been playing with some more acrylic pouring, this was a dirty pour using the left over paint I had from making a gift. I use the spotty paper cups to pour the paint. I just wanted to apologise that I do take a few days to catch up, on reading your lovely blogs. I hope you don't mind as I like to relax with a cuppa and have a read of a few each day. Speaking of a cuppa I am enjoying a coffee right now, ready to start the day. If you want to join in with this desk madness, head over too The Stamping Ground! Thank you for spending some of your day with me. Ellie x

Hello Everyone! Today I have spent the morning sanding drawers for my advent calendar. Lots of dust and sandpaper. See more desks at the stamping ground, click here. Sharing my work desk for the first time today, a lovely friend, Sarah (www.sarahscraftshed.co.uk) told me about it and I was very excited to take part. If anyone else would like to join in head over to the link I posted above and get involved every Wednesday. On yesterday's blog I posted a photo of a background I had created using distress inks, I decided to make something using this colourful piece today. To start I cut the watercolour card in half so I could create two toppers or mixed media pieces. Firstly I used my 'Phill Martin Sentimentally yours' background stamp called 'Splatterlicious cracked & splattered background'. I love this stamp, I never use it on a block or using a stamp platform. I find I get wonderful effects just holding it and pressing certain areas into the ink, the

Happy Wednesday ! My second time posting for WOYWW and I am really enjoying myself, if you want to take part pop over to this pace. Its great fun seeing each others desks and crafty mess haha. This is my desk, a mess I know hehe! Okay, so working left to right on the first picture. Lots of ribbon on the left and a little jar of metal embellishments, a tub of bows, stick pins, mdf butterflies, a round box covered with vintage style tissue paper, small flowers and gems. Lastly on the right is adhesive glitter paper. This is a closer view, with all the goodies on my desk I decorated the box lid. So now I start being crafty if you would like to see the step by step, please read on. So to begin, I ripped some of the glitter adhesive paper into strips and stuck them randomly on the box. Next I cut some pieces of different ribbon and folded them in half. I then stuck the cut ends to the lid. I did this to add dimension to my arrangement. Then I chose th
