WOYWW 594 - Okay..I have a problem

 Good afternoon crafty friends, 

I didn't take part if last week's WOYWW some of you may have noticed, I was going through some difficult things so didn't have the energy. 

To take part with Julia at The stamping ground click here!

It will be photo heavy this week but I need to show you all something, which will force me to organise it all. The first pic below I wanted to share the container I got from Ryman for a good price. I bought it to keep backgrounds or unused elements, along with completed cards.

Okay, I think I am obsessed with G45 so thought I would share my "small" collection before I organise it all. Hold onto your bums!
















Well if you got to the end without having a heart attack , well done! It needs a good sort through. The box on the left is a Graphic 45 tag box which I plan to decorate with said tony collection.

I hope you are all well and I look forward to scrolling through and nosing at your desks and creations.
Any tips of how I can organise the pads, tags, ephemera, pockets, sticker and chipboard would be really appreciated.
Thank you for spending some of your day with me
Ellie x

    Hi Ellie, wow that really is a fabulous collection of papers. I am trying very hard not to buy any more, as I have such a lot that I've had for years and not used. Stay safe, Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #4 X

    Those are lovely papers, I can see why you've got such a stash of them. Hope you're feeling a bit better this week, I was missing in action last week as well so sending hugs.

    Not surprised at all with your G45 collection. I love all their papers, the only problem I have with them is to use the last sheet in a set....yes I know it's silly but they are so lovely. Good luck with the sorting. Wishing you a lovely week and a very happy woyww, Angela x20x

    Ellie, WOW at the collection!! I need to do a huge sort of all my collections to be sure! As we all do have, I probably have things in there I haven't used in years! LOL Best wishes for a better rest of the week! Felicia #32

    That's a wonderful collection of Graphic 45 - I do love their papers but I find some are just too gorgeous to use!
    Hope this week is better than last week for you,
    Stay safe and well,

    Hi Ellie. My word. That's some collection. Can't help with how to sort it all, I'm afraid - it's actually not the sort of things I have stashed away... don't know how to organize most of that either, mind you.
    Take care. God bless.

    G45 is beautiful paper but I find it very difficult to use because it's so darn nice.. i've stopped buying paper pads now I have boxes and boxes of it.. but it does smell fantastic hee hee.. I hope you can bring yourself to use them when organised and make beautiful things.
    Happy WoywW.. Stay safe & keep creative Tracey #8 x

    I expect that lots of us could do with having a sort out of stash... I certainly do. Often I've bought things and then decided that once home, I don't really like it or wouldn't really use it, but it's hard to throw it away!
    Stay Safe

    Graphic 45 have some lovely designs, I love the albums people have made with them.
    Having a sort out is something that needs doing often - it reminds me of what I have got! Angela #36

    I've never heard of G45 ~ Oh this could mean trouble! I keep finding all kinds of products to enable myself if I'm not careful! Have fun sorting your stash ~ I enjoy it as half the fun is seeing everything all over again I think. Love, Karen#40

    Gorgeous collection of papers, Ellie. When I have papers like that, I just get them out every now and then and stroke them - I can never bear to use them!! Sorry you've been having a difficult time lately and I hope things settle down for you soon.

    Happy belated WOYWW,

    Oh Ellie that made me smile! ditch using the good value basket for small cards and stuff that you’re going to end up having to keep searching through and store your G45 collections in it instead! Everything can stand upright for ease of access. I love G45, but rarely buy it, it sort of frightens me!

 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
