WOYWW 208 - 4 YEAR CELEBRATION :-D

Hello and welcome to WOYWW 208.... this week is a celebration... celebrating 4 years of snooping round other people's workdesks :-D  This baby was the brainchild of Julia over at STAMPING GROUND and it has been soooo successful. I love going round and seeing things/getting inspiration from what other crafting Peeps are up to.

        There is also an added bit of fun this time... If you want to take part in the WOYWW ATC Swap, just add an * after your name when you add your name to Mr Linky and then look for the next name on the list after you which has an * and that's the person you send an ATC to. :-D  The last person with * sends to the first person with *. Leave a comment for your person and a way to contact you - you will need their address :-)

So, here is the left-hand side of my workdesk. Some of my ATCs are stacked on the lamp base.  I had to fuzz out some addresses on bits of paper on the side there :-D. 

So, I'm up for an ATC Swap.... How's about you ???!!! 

HAPPY WOYWW xxxxxxxxxxxx

HOUSE OF BEARS BOOK CHALLENGE

Hi there,
Over at THE HOUSE OF BEARS they are having their Book Challenge again :-) This month it is 'Little Women' and the Bears have kindly given us a few inspirational quotes. Now I've used one of those quotes with one of my new images I am releasing today. I drew them for the Tooth & Claw Theme in the DT Throwdown at Smeared & Smudged. Voting starts today for the DT with the best pieces so why not pop over and vote for Me... errr... someone :-D 

Now - I'm sorry little Bears, but I think you are going to be totally freaked out and scared with my ATC for your Challenge. I have used "Scream" - one of my new digis and taken one of your quotes. Let's hope you recover quickly !!!!!

QUOTH THE RAVEN CHALLENGE - MIDWAY REMINDER

Beloveds - herewith doth we find ourselves midway twixt the allotted time for thy current QUEST.
For thine inspiration I offer thee a re-visit of a work I produced for the sisters of darkness that doth name themselves SMUDGY ANTICS. 'Twas for a Quest akin to 'Movies' if memory doth serve me rightly, and the image doth illustrate the eerie tale by The Master.... "The Cask of Amontillado". (Image by IKE - available from Smeared Ink). Shouldst thou wish to read the sorry tale - it abideth HERE.

Thou hast until 5th JUNE to enter thy creations in QUEST 21....Anything POES.

Placeth thy creations at Mr Linky on the Blog Post below :-D 

Now - The Master hath seen that the Beloved Followers are in number - 94. This hath pleased him greatly and much excitement and elation doth reign within his Realm with his Minions that the magic number of 100 draws near !!!

He is busy as we speak preparing a worthy Prize - to be hailed when the esteemed and prized Followers doth reach that number :-D

RUDOLPH DAY - MAY 2013

Gosh - doesn't this come around quickly.... I totally missed last month :-(

RUDOLPH DAY over at Sandra's Blog ..... STAMPING FOR PLEASURE is a little Challenge she poses every month which also gives us a chance to get some cards made in preparation for Chrimbo, well ahead of time.... well at least that's the theory !! Doesn't always work for me LoL :-D
Here's my one for this month - see... only 1 hahahahaha !!!

I actually did some rubber stamping on this one... shock, horror !!!! :-)

This stamp is 'A Beautiful Sight' from the Unity Stamp Co.

I used a die cut and then embossed it at the back. The red frame was the left-over from a previous die cut. I printed my stamp on a snippet of white card and then sewed the frame onto the main card. My Reindeer is a die cut from a friend and I stamped onto him as well.

I edged the card with Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Peeled Paint.

Challenges I am entering:
