WOYWW One Hundred and Eighty something..

...i've missed the last few woyww's due to forgetfulness and generally not having any spare time, I think it's week 184!
Right to my desk..

 Not a great deal going on i'm afraid, A few cards i've yet to photograph and blog, and the remnants of a Utube video I filmed last night for my latest DT project
here's a peek

So what I thought I would share is a little unit I knocked up on Monday night for my Distress Stains, I had them stored in a basket but was just not using then as they ended up with stuff piled on top so I couldn't see them.. I'm quite a visual crafter, I work more with things if there right there staring me in the face, so to speak.

I was lucky to have the base box pre-made, I think it was a gift box base at some point, but I had it filled with random bits, and it worked out to be the perfect size. Then I just created a grid out of mountboard, and hay presto. I think it came out pretty good and I now hope to use my stains more now they're on show.
...............
This is a quick note to our fair leader Julia,
THANK YOU my scraps box is working fantastically, I can't believe I never had one b4 xx
...............
Right off to hop some desks, In case I don't get to do another desk hop b4 Christmas,
I wish you all a very Happy Festive Season xx

Journal Play

I was sat being very unproductive so I got out my journal and just started to play.

The first thing I grabbed was my spiced marmalade distress stain, I covered the whole page, I then pulled out some cosmic shimmer drawing inks and started splatting them about, then out came the water spritzer, more drawing inks,

some pan pastels and stencils, distress ink and tools...When I was happy with the background I gave it a quick spray of hairspray {my cheap fixative} and finished it off with one of Lily's cool octopode stamps {I love this ickle kitty critter}, Then I remembered a cool 'play' quote, so I stamped that out with a set of mini alpha's, added it to the page and hay presto.
I'm entering this in the Simon Says stamp and Show challenge as they have an 'anything goes' theme this week.
Right I best crack on, gotta finish my valentines card for tomorrow!

I'm BACK!

Did you miss me!!
Sorry i've been awol, I was literally wiped off my feet with a stomach bug that pretty much consumed the best part of last week with pain and sleep, but i'm just about better now which is very good news, The not so good news {for me} is I am now way behind with my prep for the upcoming craft fair I'm attending on saturday EEKKK!
*** WARNING *** SHAMELESS PLUG

So I'm afraid there probably won't be a lot of blogging from me this week either.
But I can share one of the cards I made recently that will be on my stall.

It's my entry for this weeks Stamp Man challenge with their 'Boys & Men' theme
Right I best get on..
Stay Inky
