WOYWW #515 - The Decopatch Come Back!

After over a year I've actually got something to show on my desk plus the wherewithal to actually blog it!!!








A friend suggested I decopatch one of my many blank items for her, so I did the turtle, then did the hearts for a couple of my other friends and finally the moon for me.

I have made cards in the past year but only when needed and I'm now TWO YEARS behind in my photo scrapping, oopsey.


I turned 55yrs this year and am still "pending" menopause, no wonder I am all over the place!

Hope everyone is OK and I'm looking forward to getting back to stuff and crafting....

Happy WOYWW and Happy Easter everyone.

WOYWW #461 - Scrapped & Tree

Well it was nearly light enough at 6.21am this morning, when I was greeted by a Waning Gibbous Moon on opening the curtains, always makes me smile, love the moon.

On to my desk is an Asda receipt awaiting the Price Guarantee Check. A note of how to put music onto my cloud.

My "NEXT" scrapbook LOs pending.

YES, Hallelujah, I scrapped over the Easter Weekend, not as much as I'd hoped but something all the same.

Here are the pages I completed.





1)  Some photos of our house and garden last April/May. I used my new alphabet (Zelda) acquired from Julia's sale, for the first time.

2) A page to recall my struggle with Varifocals before I settled on the Bifocals, which are brilliant I have to say.









3) And a page of where I placed a geocache last year having been given permission from the Vicar of the church plus a random car covered in GRASS.




Last but not least my
Easter Tree
all decorated.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #460 - Easter Tree

Having seen a white plastic Easter Tree in Asda a while ago and bought some decorations for one, I  shopped around for a nice one but none to be found.

So I pruned a branch from the bottom of my Silver Birch and got the Gesso out, followed last night by the Liquitex. Now I have a nice one.


Last week saw even more egg cutting out for our Easter Event as the number of children attending had risen from 80 > 130!

I went to a Ladies Day at church on Saturday and received the organza gift bag at the base of the tree.




I made a little cross from bits of the tree which were too long and that is sitting next to this month's SWAP which I received via the scenic route as the post code had been read completely wrong!





I did make up some cards though. I used the mini eggs and made one like the wreath for our Pastor's wife as a memento from the Amazing Easter Event she put on last week.

Happy Easter 

and

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #459 - Easter Cards

Last week I finished the mammoth task of cutting 1080 eggs for the church Children's Easter Day next Sunday. A super Easter Wreath.

I have got a sore neck from all the die cutting, but it's not too bad.


From the minimal waste papers I have managed to cut some small eggs and will be making Easter Cards with those.









I also received a new Quickutz alphabet courtesy of Julia's sale of Mary's craft supplies. It is the  Zelda one which I have always liked. It's a bit funky which certainly rings the changes. All I have managed to cut so far are my initials. I popped them on an ATC with my new Heart diecuts - nice Thanks JULIA super wrapping too.

And who spotted the WOYWW addition on my keyboard too?





Finally I made my March SWAP I used all items already cut as I just need a break from die-cutting just now.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #458 - Eggs-plosion!

Yep knee deep in egg diecuts this week.

They are for an Easter children's craft at church, I'd offered to help with cutting out stuff when required and just happened to have an egg die.

So I came home from church with 5 packs of 6x6 Dovecraft papers and a paper plate to make a protype based on a photo the leader (Pastor's Wife) gave me of an Easter Wreath.



This is my prototype.

I managed to fit 5 eggs per sheet and can cut 3 at a time and have cut one 48 sheet patterned pack and one 36 sheet plain pack so far. 420 of 1080 eggs cut.......... So YES knee deep.

My Easter cards are on the back burner for now. The stuff is on my desk somewhere!!! Need a bigger desk!


Bought a craft mag today too, such cutey heart dies came as the freebie, well I've not been out for 5 weeks when I bought the fairy die magazine.

I did make 3 birthday cards this past week too. Used a Kaiser Craft pad for those.




Back loads better so was busy doing stuff which accounts for the incredibly late replies from last week - Sorry.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
