What's on YOUR Workdesk Wednesday 501

Happy Wednesday everyone.

It's time to share what's on our workdesk's for it's WOYWW 501 

so let's take a stroll around those who care to share over at the 

stamping ground courtesy of Julia our hostess.

I was hoping to be a lot tidier this week but there has been more stops 

than starts whilst I try to find a home for found odds and ends.

Not helped by my madness of deciding to sort out the cupboard that's behind me!!

You didn't think that little crafty corner was it did you :))

This is the first time in two years that I have actually been able to open the door 

without something falling on me... Sadly there's more to go in yet!! Grrr...

Sorry if I missed visiting anyone last week, with a poorly dog, Hubbies Cardio 

appointments along with the Christmas clean up there was little time left for 

me or those Dorset buttons.. I'm having withdrawal symptoms already!

I will do better this week to both visit and button I promise.

Catch you all later..

Paperbabe Stamps ~ #90 (New) Fresh Start

Happy New Year from all at Paperbabe Stamps and 

welcome to a brand (New) blog challenge... Fresh Start.

A New Year can bring many changes from resolutions, new home, job, 

journal or a new craft, so let those changes guide you to create anything  

inspired by the theme #90 (New) Fresh Start.

Here's my interpretation and a handful of how to do's for my Folio of Faces.

Using a TH Folio Folder as my foundation I used the standard Paperbabe Doll Face 

set stamping first onto an old book page then adhered to the folio adding leftover book 

paper, lace and rice paper strips. Water soluble crayons begin the painting process.

Heavy Gel Medium is pushed through the Roses Stencil 

when dry the painting process begins again using watercolour brush pens.

I love watching how the markers react when water is applied.

Her Hair flows across the back cover along with stencilled Roses.

Exaggerated features brings out that Vintage Doll stare, 

with fragments and threads embellishing her hair.

A Fibreboard whimsical word leaves a creative prompt 

completing the cover of my Folio of Faces. 

This folder houses faces of all shapes and sizes awaiting new adventures!

...but I'm saving what's within for another day... Hee hee!!

You have the whole of JANUARY to play along.

HAVE FUN if your joining in with the challenge or just pop on over 

and see what the Design Team have created to inspire you HERE..

I look forward to seeing all that you create.

Take good care everyone & Stay Safe

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday 500

Happy 2019 Creative Friends..

What a way to start off the blogging New Year.

Making it's 500 appearance let's welcome WOYWW 500, 

What a mammoth achievement congrats to Julia the leader of the pack 

over at the stamping ground and all those loyal Woyww(ers).

I wish I could say I have been here from the beginning but sadly not but I've enjoyed 

my time sharing my desks over the past eight months with like minded Crafter's.

Today's desk is full of things i've been using whilst sat in front of the TV.

Guests over during New Year, one of which is still here limits crafting.

There's a handful of those Dorset buttons made up from last week, very
addictive craft and ideal for some up coming projects in the pipeline.

It's business as usual today with care duties, Hubby's first Cardio rehab and 

administering the Dog's medication after a very expensive visit to the vet!!

So i'll be round to visit after I scrape the ice off the car it's frosty out there...

Take Care everyone & Happy New Year!!
