Hope everyone had a great weekend and wasn't it wonderful to see the sun shining even if it was only for a couple of days!
Today's view of the desk isn't really of the desk, more like next to the desk. I've been having a clear out of bits of paper, card and old rubber stamps that haven't seen the light of day since Noah was a boy. Unfortunately, they're all too good to throw away so I have decided that my friend Jo is going to be the lucky? recipient of this lot!! That's what friends are for, isn't it???
Now for today's card. The wonderful, yet slightly naughty, Sam Poole set her design team a challenge this week. Make a purple card using the Enchanted Tree stamp set.
Well, I can't resist a challenge so here's my offering.
I've done a full step by step (with piccies) on the Creative Studios blog. The stamps are gorgeous and really versatile. Sam is an amazing designer and I just hope I've done her stamps proud. The other DT members are posting their takes on the stamp set this week and all with a purple theme so stop by and have a look.
Now on to the travel photo of the day!
Don't forget the blog candy...it's still up for grabs.
Until next time, have a very good crafty day and thank you for visiting.

That enchanted tree stamp is really lovely, isn't it?? I can see you making good use of that one! Nice pics of Cambridge too, I'm very fond of that city...great museums!
Happy 4th WOYWW!
Hugs, LLJ 9 xx
What a view of the Cam. Love the card too. Happy 4th.... Helen 39
You wouldn't be on the DT if you didn't do a great job now, would you! Love the colour - makes a change for such a subject, huh!

Just gorgeous, love the embossing and the colour is fabulous. Your travel photo is lovely too... those trees that bend down to the water makes for a very tranquil look. Happy 4th WOYWW Anniversary! Annette #2
What a great card. I adore purple but would never have thought of using it with trees. You've opened my eyes to a whole new way of working. Thank you.
Happy anniversary,
Love Rachel, #48

Wishing you and everyone a Very Happy WOYWW today

Ooh, lovely photo of the river.
Your friend Jo is going to be ever so pleased with her new goodies. I am taking some of mine to the club on Saturday - hope they all take some.
Love the card you made - am sure it will go down a storm.
Thanks for visiting me earlier and Happy WOYWW 4th Year Birthday.
Hugs, Neet xx 1
Happy Special WOYWW. What a gorgeous card - love the purple. Happy memories of the Cam (I spent my early childhood living near Cambridge - we used to cycle in for shopping!). Ali x #93
Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comment. I love that tree stamp! It's gorgeous!
Happy WOYWW,

It’s amazing that the internet can bring together so many likeminded people and I’m grateful that WOYWW has also brought along so many new friends, thanks to Julia.
Oooo, another one having a clear out but if you’re anything like me it’s hard to part with stuff, even if it hasn’t been used in years.
Enjoy your Wednesday snooping on this very special Day
Happy Crafting!

Have a Happy WOYWW 4th Anniversary

Lovely peaceful view of the Cam and I love the colour scheme of your card. I always chuckle at your blog title. Happy WOYWW4. x Jo #54
GORGEOUS card and pretty River Cam picture.
Happy 4th Anniversary WOYWW.

Nice tree card...I am not usually a purple girl, don't have much in the way of inks and paper in that colour. Thanks for the visit already. Happy WOYWW4. #8
I just unloaded a bunch on a dear friend of mine and she was ever so grateful...one man's trash is anothers treasures. Love the card. I have floated the Cam...went to Cambridge as a scouting trip and the boys were treated to an excursion punting the Cam. DH got his punt caught in the muck and was knocked into the river...not such a nice thing. Happy WOYWW 4th Anniversary. Have a great week. Vickie #14
Seems like every one is tidying at the moment...
Happy WOYWW

Punting! That takes me back only in my case it was the Cherwell and not the CAM. The card is stunning. Thanks for sharing. Have a very happy 4th WOYWW birthday. Caro x (#67)
Always enjoy your post on a Wednesday
Like the card I am sure Sam will to
Like the photo on the river cam which makes me think we don't live soooo far apart me being in Cambridgeshire as well

You have done an amazing job with that stamp, love the colour and the way you have edged it too. Jo is very lucky to get that lot - hope she has room for it all! Happy 4th WOYWW, Hugs, Anne x #61 (thanks for your visit too)
Beautiful card with the tree and the color! Thanks for the tranquil picture, I sat for a couple of minutes imagining myself b7eing there. #47
Hi Pam
Many thanks for stopping by earlier ! Love your tree card ! Ali #23
Happy 4th, Pam!
I love purple and o by default I am in love with your purple tree card! I live near the River Itchen and it also has scenes like this, although the section of the river that runs through town is too small for boats. Thanks for popping round. I work several pieces at the same time so I don't get bored of the designs, which is bad when that happens and puts me off for months at a time. Have a great week, Lucy #22 x
Hi Pam, thanks for your comments and good wishes - Happy WOYWW4 to you too! I love Sam's stamps and I am ashamed to say I have two sets that I haven't used yet - just can't seem to find time to do ethm justice. But I'm thinking they might be taking a journey to Wiltshire with me on Saturday! Cindy #51
Hi there Pam, thanks for your earlier visit, I'm running way behind in my commenting back but better late than never I guess.
Wow that's quite a stack of stash you're unloading too. Love the travel photo, happy woyww 4th anniv.
Elaine
Fabulous card Pam. Never would have thought of purple trees but it looks great. Another lovely photo. Jo's going to be a lucky lady. Hugs x ChrisB
hi Pam happy 4th
that is one lucky friend... even if she doesnt know it yet.
love the tree stamp
janet #32
I really like your card and I'm not even usually a big fan of purple, still looks like you did her stamp justice to me. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me an encouraging comment. I hope the flush goes well, too! :) I know what you mean about K & Company papers...so far I've just been eyeballing them and contemplating all the possibilities...someday I may actually cut into them! lol Have a great WOYWW ~ Deeyll #29
Yes, you've certainly done Sam up proud with your delightful purple card, Pam! And how about that lucky Jo!! One crafter's junk is another crafter's treasure, right?! It must feel good to have cleared out all that stuff!
Thanks for coming by the Playhouse earlier! Happy WOYWW Anniversary and have a wonderful week!! Darnell #34
Happy 4th ...you have made me feel guilty as I was meant to have a sort out 3 or so weeks ago but life and its problems got in the way.
That is a gorgeous card ...love the colour... beautiful photo too.
Thanks for your good wishes health wise ...it seems to be a perminant problem which would be helped if I had willpower to diet and stay off sugar...thats why I'm experimenting with low sugar tea breads...they already have no fat(except for an egg) ... as I NEED cake. lol xx71
That tree is incredible. Love it, from the color to the composition. Had to laugh at your tripping over those bags. Sorry, but I thought it was funny, since it is something I would do.
Happy WOYWW4 from # 17.
Fab card! Cool stamp. Love the weeping willow tree pic so very peaceful looking. Jo is lucky...I hope. :) Thanks for the earlier visit. Happy WOYWW4! Nan G #6
How lucky is your friend Jo, so many goodies in there. Love that card and the photo of the Cam is gorgeous.
Such a serene looking place.
Happy 4th WOYWW and have a great week.
Von #68
Hi Pam-
Have I told you how much I love the title of your blog?? (either a million times or not at all I'm sure). So clever. Those weeping willow trees are gorgeous. We have beautiful mountains in Alaska, but no weeping anythings...we can grow about 10 different kind of trees - kind of limiting, but at least it finally turned green here. And I bet Jo will be ecstatic with her new found fortune. Hope you have some lovely summer days ahead of you!

happy woyww 4th anniversary if a little late didn't get the chance yesterday to visit anyone love the card fab colour choice and love the stamps used. You are a True friend I'm sure she will be over the moon with your kindness. fab photo of the river s sounds like you had a fab too have a great week Andrea#40
The card is lovely and I adore that stamp - I have two or three tree stamps but might need just ONE more....
Happy 4th Birthday, WOYWW! (a little late)

Love the colours on your dard and the pic of the Cam is wonderful.
Happy 4th Birthday celebrations....here's to many more.

G'day Pam
thanks for dropping by my blog for WOYWW. Happy 4th WOYWW to you. Can you come over and sort my stash too LOL. Love the purple card and the Cam looks gorgeous!!
hugs

What a lucky crafter Jo is to have such a generous friend!
I love the travel photo. Rivers are so tranquil!
I looked back and saw your flower fairy card. It is gorgeous. I have one room decorated only with my collection of flower fairy items - plates, clocks, pots, pictures etc. I have one of the original books too.
I laughed at the mention of being an aging hippie at the festivals. I wonder which ones you go to. if you see a small stall called Jonny P's coffee stop, go and intoduce yourself. It is my son. He spends all summer doing the festivals, and then the food markets over Christmas, and he brews a mean coffee. (Sometimes he doesn't have his cart and is in the mobile shop instead). Don't do too much head-banging! Kate x #44
Love your purple card, my favourite colour. Thanks for stopping by my desk BJ#76
Ooo I love, love, love the purple tree card, but then I am a bit of a purple addict. Looks like you had a beautiful day for your punt down the river. I am off to the creative studio blog now, the lure of more purple cards is just too much.
Happy art making
Hugs Lottie #92
Hi Pam, I am absolutely loving your purple tree card, and what a lovely view of the cam on what looks like one of the few sunny days this year. Sorry I am so late visiting, and thanks for dropping in. Hugs Mo x #50
Love your purple card and the pics on the Cam...... shame I'm not the Jo who is getting all that stash!!
Happy 4th WOYWW anniversary!

Hi - your purple tree is beautiful... I usually give my sister all my bits of paper I don't think I will use - then when I see what she did with it I kick myself - LOL - Happy 4th WOYWW Birthday... Mxx #137
Hi there, your purple card is lovely and that is why you are on the DT, you can rise to any challenge. If I was your friend, I'd be bursting with anticipation ... it's old stash to you but it will new stash to her :) Belated happy WOYWW4 and have a great weekend. Elizabeth x #155
