WOYWW #722

  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!


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!

Hello everyone! We have a glorious sunny day today, though still  very cold at -5°C, feeling like -12°! I hope you are warming up for spring - I can't wait!

Here is my desk this morning, I'm working on a kind of star crown for the head on one of my pages that I didn't like. Hopefully this will fix it! I will show you next week if it did.


Last week I mentioned that I was going to make a few stamps of my own, and that is what I did this week! This is the most recent stamp - a fox!


And here is where I used it in my journal


Here are two more stamps I carved this week. I started with the girl, then wondered why hadn't I ever used "man" stamps, so I made one of those too


And this is how I used them in my journal




This page was a page I didn't like, it had a big orange butterfly where the man is now. I took it off and I had outlined in black around the butterfly, which was left on the page. Here is a great tip for removing things like that - use hand sanitizer! It came off easily with hand sanitizer and a Q-Tip! You can't tell at all that there was a butterfly outline behind the man! (I also carved his hat)

And this guy is just starting a new page





Here are some more pages I worked on this week:

Here is a Character Construction man stamp that I found...



I added words to this page


And to this page

The ladies open up...


Mittsy did survive her trip to the vet...apparently she is overweight. Oh well, she has a summer to run it off!


Next week it will be SPRING!!! It may not look like it, but things will be warming up, and the kitties and I can't wait! Have a great week, and "meow" from Inky and Mittsy!
