WOYWW #746

 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 all! It's a beautiful chilly day here, I'm enjoying all the greenery while I can! Here is my desk this morning. My Sister-in-Law sadly passed away last Sunday, and so I am making a memorial page for her in my journal.


I am amazed all the time about my pre-made journal pages, how I always seem to find the perfect thing for each page, as if I made that page for that specific event, even though I made the page months ago. Here are my 2 newest pages finished, though I pre-made the pages months ago:



And I am still making paper dolls, hopefully it isn't too boring for you! Each one has such a unique personality, I'm really enjoying making them. I now have a pretty full cigar box of them. Soon you will be seeing them in my journal pages!

Well, that's it for me today! Next week I will be at my DD's playing with Jasper, who knows what we will get up to! Here are two pics of Mittsy to end this post. Have  a great week!


And watching the pouring rain...

Well, the heat wave is over, it's now chilly! Waking up to 15°C, and single digits overnight. I can deal with this! It does warm up a bit through the day, just enough to be very pleasant on the porch during wine time!

Here is my desk this morning, I was working on this page at 2am because I couldn't sleep! And then I had to come in and check on it in the morning because I couldn't remember what I did!

This is in my Donna Downey journal that I have been working in off and on for a few years now. I think I have 2 pages left. Each page has a little insert that is fun. Here are my last few pages as if you were looking at it left to right:





And of course, I'm still making paper dolls, and mermaids too! I think a lot of people are taking Megan Quillan's Paper Doll Compedium course, which is why we are seeing so many of them around. They are so much fun - and addicting!
(I think we will be seeing more of this guy!)




This one is a stamp that a friend gave me:




And last but not least I'm making some fall fodder. I think acorns would be fun to make!

No kitty pics today, but Mittsy does not like this cooler weather. She has been in and out many times this morning, I'm thinking she comes in, warms up then wants to go out again! Hope you are all having wonderful weather  wherever you are, and have a great crafty week!

PS: I LOVE Lynne Parella face stamps, but I can't get them here without paying a small fortune. Does anyone have any? If so, please contact me (don't worry I don't want to buy them off you!) Thanks in advance

Hello all! We are in the midst of a heatwave, just for a few days, probably the most "summer weather" we've had all summer, so I'm happy! It's very quiet here now, with all the neighborhood kids back at school!


Here is my desk this morning. It is mostly the underpaper that I have been using, which I will use in a project someday, but if you look hard you can see a little pile of mushrooms...


I made a mushroom stencil, as I am now running low on this type of fodder, and then made a bunch of cute little mushrooms


I will probably make more today

I have also been playing with paper dolls (which I loved to do as a kid!). I bought a course from Megan Quillan called "The Comprehensive Paper Doll" and I am having a lot of fun with it! I had ben watching "The Witcher" on Netflix, and 2 of these paper dolls were inspired by a couple of the characters!





So I will probably be making more paper dolls this week as well!

And, as promised, a picture of Mittsy! She often comes to the window while I am at the computer just to see what I'm doing and to make sure I'm safe, then off she goes!


With that said, everyone have a safe and creative week this week!
