WOYWW 600!! woohoo!!

 Good morning lovely, crafty friends!

It's week 600 of WOYWW! Absolutely fantastic collection of crafters and desks, seriously head over to the Stamping ground HERE to get involved. We are a friendly bunch, honest!

Unfortunately I wont be able to take part in the zoom meet up today, because of therapy. I trust you will all have a good giggle. Really thrilled to be part of this crazy group and so pleased to see the 600 milestone get smashed! 

So on the topic of desks, here is mine ...



You know all those Christmas elements I stamped, coloured and fussy cut. I didn't use a single one on my cards. What a plonker! Decided to pop one inside each card instead as an extra detail. So my cards are finally finished and now to write them all out. Then onto making some little boxes for bath bombs I am gifting to a few friends.

So the hounds, they both got bought a coat the other day, as its getting chilly. They look awfully posh now and seem to enjoy having them on too! 




Since its Lyrax's first Christmas as he's a pupper, we brought the decorations down from the attic. Lets just say he's not sure why there is a tree in the lounge. He's taken to sitting on his kitchen bed and giving it a disapproving look. hahaha such a daft dog! 

Annie loves Christmas, so she was bouncing around as the tree got unpacked. I think she knows it means treats and toys, smart little bugger!

Thank you for spending some of your day with me

    Well Ellie, the really good news is that you don’t have to miss the Zoom meeting(S) if you want to join in.....they’re on Saturday! I will post again about them on Friday. Meanwhile..oh gal, all that cutting and colouring, I thought it was only me that did that sort of thing! I’d be too mean to add them as extras, they would be waiting to be made into cards for next year!!

    Happy 600th WOYWW!! Wow, all that cutting and colouring, how therapeutic - I’m with Julia, they deserve to be cards in their own right. Love the though of Lyrax being afraid of the tree, better that than having it over, lol!

    Was just panicking about the zoom meetings then saw Julia's comment above - phew. thought I'd got it wrong again! Hope you can make it. I'm just loving that script Merry Christmas - is it a stamp? (Please don't tell me it's your handwriting I'll get depressed). Doggies look splendid intheir winter coats and clever them to realise Christmas means extra rteats! Happy 600th WOYWW, have a lovely week, stay well, stay safe, Cindy xx #30

    Hi Ellie. Oh my - and you were being so industrious last week with all that cutting out! Still, if you are popping them inside the cards, folks will think they are getting a nice little gift!! Win, win! Had to chuckle at the thought of the disapproving look - hope the pup soon gets used to the tree! My daughter has a couple of cats, and now has discovered she needs to tie the tree to the ceiling each year... yes, cat in branches soon brings the whole lot tumbling down...
    Hope you get to join in the zoom meeting on Saturday.
    Take care. God bless.

    You make adorable cards. I love the way you made these. They are stunning. Cute pups, too. Love their sweaters. I'm not sure we've met before, because I haven't been round much this past year. Happy 600th from #6.

    The cards are gorgeous, I love the beautiful papers you used. The dogs look very smart in their new jackets and hopefully won't get too interested in the tree!

    Hi Ellie, lovely cards and paper. Lots of deskers are well on with Christmas cards. I must get on with some, although I am not sending many this year. Dogs look very cosy in their new coats. I hope to see you on Saturday if you can join in. Happy 600th WOYWW and have a lovely week, Heather xx #25

    A nice busy desk, Ellie, and I'm glad all that fussy cutting isn't going to waste lol! Thank you for sharing about your adorable dogs! Their new coats are very smart. The kitties had to wear little body suits after they were spayed, because they kept pulling their stitches out, and they looked so cute! They soon got used to them and weren't fazed by them. They all have different little personalities, don't they, and like humans, some love Christmas and some don't lol lol!!

    Happy WOYWW 600,

 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
