WOYWW #725

 Another Wednesday, time for a peek at each other's desks and projects! If you would like to learn more, just go to http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/p/what-is-woyww.html. Maybe you could join our little group!


Hello! I missed last week due to an asthma attack, not fun, but feeling better now. I didn't get a lot done as I was ordered to "Aggressively rest"! But I did sneak in a few things over the past 2 weeks.

First, here is my desk. Nothing much on it this morning, but I had just finished making some stencils yesterday.


I cut a couple of easy stencils last week...this was from a Tim Holtz die


And these waves were freehand


and I used one in my mini art journal


I completed a page in my JIYA Journal and started another one...



and did a few pages in my Mini-journal


this one is playing with a honeycomb die cut


I finally made the first page of Jasper's Quiet Book...not perfect, but she won't notice!


and a couple of birthday cards...


this one I made from the stamp that I carved, added the hair and beard, looks just like my SIL!
and I bought myself a pressie, a little Cricut Joy! Hoping to make stencils with it, and maybe some other things. I have resisted buying a cricut for years and years, but I think it will work well for stencils


But it's a big learning curve, the cricut design software is not as easy as it looks! Any tips on making stencils with a cricut?

And to my Spring Garden, everything is green, but we still only have a few flowers, and nothing spectacular:






So I guess that's it for me! Our days go from nice and warm to almost freezing, so the cats are getting annoyed! The fox is about, actually had caught a neighbor's cat, but it was thankfully rescued, so we keep our ears and eyes open when Inky is out. I think she knows, she is very watchful...here is a pic this morning that I could see from my computer of a brave little bunny...right out on the front lawn eating bird seed. 

I'm happy to say the fox was elsewhere!

Have a great week, May is just around the corner!

Another lovely Spring day! Today is SIL's birthday, I made him a card and forgot to take a picture of it. Oh well.

Iwas busy all weekend with DD and GD, and I'm now sick. It seems to happen every time. 😒So I haven't done anything yet this week. But I do have my desk:


Which doesn't look like much as the last thing I made on it was SIL's birthday card. Hopefully I can do something today.

But here are some Easter pics! The Easter Bunny brings everyone a basket!

Jasper got some bunny ears...



and a new dress which she loved...

And she helped to make the Deviled Eggs with her mom...


And her favourite thing to do was play Grandma's piano! It is an electric piano and has tons of demo tracks which she loves to play!


Well that's it for me today, back off to rest and recuperate! Hopefully I will feel more my self soon. Have a wonderful Spring week,

Happy April! We woke up this morning to a lovely thunderstorm, and it will probably rain all day. That's what April is for! Bring on the green!


Here is my desk this morning, I have a lovely prepared watercolour sheet to play with, all my favourite colours! 



I carved 2 new stamps this week:



And here is how I used them this week:



I love how they both turned out!

Here are a couple pages in my little mini journal that I did this week:



and some pages from my full sized journal:


On this page I added the script in the half circles - I photo copied one of my pages of script on to a round label sheet, which made them easy to add to this page!


I added the rainbow crown to this stamp! It changes her whole personality!

Well that's it for me this week, I am busy cleaning house for Easter visitors, so I'm not sure how much art will get done, but I will have pics!

Here is Inky, waiting for Spring to actually arrive so she can go out and sleep in the sunshine on the porch. Not today though!


It is so nice to watch the rain obliterate the snow that was left! Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
