WOYWW

Ok so it is Thursday but I have decided to follow loads of my friends and join in WOYWW - a day late - does it matter?  Hope not.  Here is my desk last night:


You can see my spray booth (love it - it is by Colorbox and folds up to nothing.  There are several pieces of lace hanging from it drying in readiness for attaching to my album for Chloe.  The pasta machine is to the right (waiting for me to get going on my claywork) and the box to the left with the brown edging is full of clay stuff too.  You can't really see but in front of that is a tile with some half finished clay pieces on - I really must get on with them.  The rest is just some of my drawers of rubber stamps and general stuff - bit of a mess behind the spray booth to be honest.

Well, this morning I put my lace ties on the album and did a bit more titivating on it - this is the result:


As you can see I have put some pearls on and a little charm which says "dream".  I then proceeded to use the four photographs her mummy had sent to me (remember?  "so you don't forget me") on the inside pages.  Might still add more in the way of pearls down the side and some charms - haven't decided yet.  Now I am not sure whether my friend would agree to me putting photographs of her little treasure on the internet so I have put paper circles over her face to preserve her anonymity.  


These photos are of her on a Ladybird ride - I wanted to put them both on a page so made a pocket, with MS punched lace border, and turned one photograph into a tag.  The letters are cut out with Spellbinders dies and were cut from some dark blue scrapbook paper which I dabbed all over with three or four colours of Ranger Dabbers.

Now a question for all you scrappers out there - what glue do you use for adhering your photographs?  I have been using Tombow but it has run out now luckily had another that said "acid free" but wonder what else I can use as I get in such a mess with glue sticks.
