WOYWW
Good Morning and a very happy WOYWW! Wasn't last week terrific!! I tried to get around as many desks as possible but time ran out and I can only apologise to those I didn't get to.
Time waits for no man etc. so here we are, another week on and my desk still hasn't shown much sign of improvement!
I found a chipboard book I'd bought in a sale about 3 years ago for 30p lurking in the back of a cupboard so thought I should start to do something with it. I've only got as far as covering it with some Graphic 45 papers so far. I have used some of the paper to cut out the pictures to decorate parts of it. The stamps on the desk are the Art Houses from Creative Studios. Not sure if they are going in the book yet but wanted to colour them in!!
What I have been working on though, is my next DT project for Creative Studios using the Wise Owl set of stamps. I just can't stop using them!
I'm posting the full step by step on the Creative Studios blog this morning so I won't do it on here as well (hope you don't mind!) The background is Alcohol Inks and the owl is coloured in with Copics to give you some idea. Hope you like it and it is a nice quick card to make.
Sam will be demoing the Wise Owl and Enchanted Tree stamp sets on Create and Craft this Saturday (8th) and you might just recognise a few of the samples!!
Now for today's travel photo!
These are the giant waterlillies that grow in the Amazon. They really are quite spectacular and I just wish that the photo did them justice.
Please don't forget the blog candy...I really would like to draw out a winner! It's easy to enter, just sign up as a follower and when I reach 300 I'll draw a winner for the Paper Artsy stamps and Tim Holtz mini mask.
That's all for today, I'll try and get to as many of you as possible over the next couple of days. As always, many thanks for visiting and leaving all your lovely comments.
Have a happy and crafty day!

I do love G45 papers. They have a certain style. Do show the book next week or when ever you get it finished. #38
Oh thanks for mentioning the blog candy as my screen isn't as wide as your blog page and I didn't see the right hand bar beforehand! Don't do following so I'm out though, shame.
Adore your owl card, couldn't find a link to where you were showing it off though.
Super waterlillies. BJ#22

Hi there,
Just popping in briefly, I'm supposed to be mowing the lawn!

Great desk, I have a thing for brown in crafting so I like the look of what you're working on. The owl is cute too and I can imagine how big those water lilies are, didn't the Victorians used to take photos of people standing on them?

Your card is a beauty. I love the eyes on your owl and the way you colored them really brought them to the forefront. Good job young lady! Your Amazon photo is so pretty. Isn't Mother Nature a wonderful crafter?
30p! what a bargain, love the graphic 45 papers I will have to watch out for the finished item. The wise owl stamp is so cute he makes a lovely card. Thanks for paying me a visit today.
Happy art making

I do like the owl, and the nice bright colours you've used. The lily-pads are spectacular. I saw some at a water park/garden centre many years ago, but I'd love to see some in their natural environment. Kate x #33
