Another WOYWW day and I do have something to show you. Been busy doing Christmas Cards again but had to sneak a couple of other cards in between.
This was a birthday card for a horse crazy young girl the daughter of a friend I used to work with. I made a horsey card last year and I have another image ready for next year. Hope at 15 she is not too old for these cards.
And this one, below, was for my niece who is one of the loveliest young mums you could ever wish to meet, she is a real sweetie. It is much nicer in real life. The two flowers at the top are very delicate, made with Parchment, stamped in white and embossed. It's all very pale pink and sadly I don't know how to darken the photo so you can see it better.
The third one is one I made for a Mingle with a Papercraft group that I am in. We lost one of our longest serving members. She was a lovely lady, bags of fun and so we were asked to make a humorous card in her memory. This was mine to a lady called Wendy - I almost changed the wording to some of my own until I found out what its background was. Let's just say the ladies are drinking tea and the recipients husband used to be a vicar.
Well, you came here to see my desk and here it is in all its glory. I was near to the end of putting "ladies" in my Open Spine Journal so I took a couple of photographs for you:
Far left you can see a silver tin which has several small journals inside, it normally sits on a shelf. Then there are my Caran D'Ache crayons and above it a picture I am colouring for my Journal. The grey thing behind is a three pen set and then two of my paint boxes and some tiny paint brushes. That is my Open Spine Journal in the front and my scalpel. Still haven't got around to videoing my Journal so here are a couple of shots where I am at now - just one page to go
Four of the pages - as you can see one is blank at the moment
I am not sure whether I will decorate the pages more than they are - maybe it will be a bit too much with the heavily patterned paper on some of the pages and I did put some borders and things on anyway. There are a few left blank for writing on but, as in the one above with the lady in red, it does look a bit plain. Maybe when I have something on all of the pages and do a video you can advise as to whether to leave or carry on decorating.
Got my booster on Friday - not through my GP, I feel they have let me down so I have booked through the NHS who sent me a letter instructing me how to go about it. Chas had his on Monday so hopefully in two weeks we will both be fully covered again.
Nothing else on the horizon so I guess I will leave it there for now and hopefully see you next Wednesday here at WOYWW.
