After prepping all the demo's for Ally Pally, doing the show and coming home with bags of stash, I thought I should tidy up a bit to make more room! It still doesn't look much different but at least I've put all my dies on magnetic sheets now!
So, on my desk today are the new Teresa Collins papers from Creative Expressions, some Studio 490 stamps and an arched wall hanging (also Studio 490). There's some acrylic paint and the usual Archival inkpads as well.
So what was I up to? Well, I was sent a set of stamps to make a project for the Creative Expressions Design Team call as I had made it onto the shortlist. After much searching under the table and in various cupboards, I finally located my mojo and came up with this.
Even if I don't get on the team I had a lot of fun making this. I've used Summer Meadow Gilding Flakes on it and the stamps are from the "Belle of the Ball" A5 set. The flowers were made using the stamp in the previous picture.
It's my turn on the Creative Studios Design Team blog today and here's my take on the challenge that was set by Sam. We had to use the "Wise Friend" set and something from the Halloween stamps. Great fun to do, I love a challenge!! All of the step by step pictures and instructions are on the Creative Studios blog. Just go to the link on the right for Sam Poole.
Lastly, thanks to everyone who came and said "Hi" at the show. It's lovely to put faces to names.
I'll try and get round as many desks as possible this week, hopefully more than last week...that was a bit of a disaster!
Many thanks for your visit and comments.

Well, you've shown the range of your crafty talents this week from that gloriously vintage gilded frame to that very punky skull...and I love them both equally!!
So glad you had a good weekend at AP, tiring but worthwhile, eh?
Hugs, LLJ 33 xx
Well your desk looks pretty calm..am super impressed that you did demos and still managed to shop..I've never managed both! Good luck with your DT piece..isn't always that way - something you want to make a really good effort with and the mojo scarpers. It's fear. You nailed it!
Well done on getting into the short list your project is lovely
Ally pally was busy as was the rubberneckers stall

If making someone want to buy product is a help to making the design team, then you should be on the top of the list. I LOVE that dress image. The gold flaking is a perfect touch. Creative Blessings! ~Kelly #15
