Happy WOYWW to one and all.
Well as you can see, mine is a complete mess again!
I've been working on demo samples for Ally Pally and have had a great time covering myself and everything else with gilding flakes. I've warned the family that they had better not stay still for too long otherwise I'll gild them as well!
I've also been playing with some home décor which is something I've never really done before but have fallen in love with.
For this one I've used the Studio490 Art Parts. The stamps are by Sam Poole for Creative Expressions and are the Vintage Baking set. I bought them ages ago and had forgotten about them but they seemed just right for this wall hanging. The roses were made from the Button Floral stamp set (again Sam and CE). They've been dipped in the Melt Pot with clear UTEE as have all the little stamped images and the message. I cut out the shape for the message before I dipped in in the UTEE. I didn't have the right size die for the matt so I drew around the outside of the shape and cut it out by hand. It's a great way of getting more from your dies.
The papers are from a Tim Holtz pad.
I used some wire that I twisted around a pencil for the hanger and added some ribbon scraps to finish.
Hope you like it.
Getting VERY excited about Ally Pally now. I do love to demo and have got some lovely projects ready with the gilding flakes so hope to see some of you there.....if only to see how much of a mess I can get in.....that glue is soooo strong!!
Don't forget Sue is on C&C and Ideal World today with her amazing Spellbinder shows. Come and see her on the Rubbernecker stand at Ally Pally this weekend. Sam Poole will be on the Creative Expressions stand as will Julia Watts and on Sunday they'll be joined by Hels and Leonie.
The blog candy is still up for grabs. To enter, find the posting further down and follow the instructions.
Right, back to the studio to prep for the afternoon demo!
Thank you so much for visiting and leaving comments.

What a magnificent project!! Just stunning! I have had four little pots of gilding flakes on my desk since they arrived in the mail...about two months ago. I refuse to put them away because I want to use them! Things keep getting in my way though, lol! SOON!!
Happy Crafting!

Thanks for visiting my desk and for your kind comment, just back from shopping (no craft I'm afraid) and catching up on a few desks.
Looks like you have been working hard on your samples and prep for Ally Pally, just wished I lived nearer and could come - maybe sometime.

Awww...so many of you are going to Ally Pally--I don't know what it is, but it sounds fun! I will be sure and post my celery stamping results--I do plan to paint it with acrylic paint...I'm going to try it tonight. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #52
I love the fact that you gild everything that stands still, lol! I'm a bit like that with glitter at cHristmas time (I work in a school you see!)
Hope Ally Pally goes well :)

I love the mask on your desk and I have to say that it doesn't look messy at all - you can actually see the desk! The home decor is stunning, well done you. Thanks for sharing. Caro #53
Those gilding flakes look beautiful. It's one of those things I always plan on getting, and still haven't gotten. Love the ornament too!
It's my first week for WOYWW, and it was fun visiting. Kathi #109
Hi Pam, love your home decor piece the colours are great and the images perfect. I'm doing a melt pot workshop with Hels in May and hope I will be learning how to make gorgeous blooms like yours. Have a great time at AP and enjoy your workshop with Dyan. Thanks for your visit MMx #66
Never been to Ally Pally, not sure I could cope with the journey despite only living in North Surrey! (not a good traveller) Have a great time there. Thanks for visiting me today BJ#20

Magnificent project! I am trying to visit everyone! jenx 129
awesome looking home decor. I love making canvases and I have run out of wall space so I may have to try something different too. Bought some gilding flakes and glue but have yet to try them out! Sorry I have been absent the past couple weeks but life has taken its toll and sometimes you just have to give in to it and go with the flow! Thanks for sharing and have a great week! Vickie #58
Oh, fantastic post, Pam! Entering here is like traveling to another planet to me and I love the visit! Your work is amazing!!
Thanks for coming by to visit me! Have a wonderful week! Darnell #47
One day I hope to get to Ally Pally...just have to time my trips across the pond more carefully!
Be sure to pop back and show us what you created afterwards!
I had a good snoop around your blog, and I very much like what I saw. I'm glad to have found you!

Hi Pam
Hope the demoing went well. Oh I love gilding flakes and have done something similar using cold laminate sheets that have an adhesive side built in to them.Love the arty hanging project too. Thanks for dropping by my desk/blog too. I've resigned myself to the fact that I shall ever be running late to get to others blogs due to my work but here I am.
hugs

Thanks for stopping by this week Pam. I’m sorry it’s taken my so long to make a return visit but just not felt much like spending time on the computer up till now. But I’m on the mend now and ‘ready to party’.
You certainly were having fun with those gilding flakes and I love all the cards you’ve made, especially the one with the hearts on that you showed on Friday, it’s beautiful. Hope you have fun at Ally Pally, I’m not going this time.
Happy Crafting!
Sue
