WOYWW 28.04

 
Hello Blogging Buddies.

It's Wednesday and that means time for another WOYWW.  

Well, what is on my workdesk today?

A MESS, that's what, and a Thomas !!!

Now, here's a puzzle for you.  You may have heard of "Where's Wally?"  Well my version is "Where's Thomas?"

Here he is LOL!!!

Honestly, it really is getting to be beyond a joke. As soon as my photo tent comes out Thomas gets in it - what is this all about? !!

After all the excitement of the photo tent, Thomas went off to find his friend Pablo for a little cuddle Ahhh !!!

Anyway, I'm off to Julia's Blog to see what everyone else has on their workdesks today.  Please feel free to pop along too and join in if you dare LOL!!!

Digi Stamps at Cuddly Buddly

    
Hi

Did you know that Cuddly Buddly now have their own range of Digi Stamps?  I love my rubber stamps, but digis are so versatile.  You can easily alter the size of each image to suit your needs and, of course, they take up no storage space. 

Here's a card I've made using the Daisy With Balloons Digi.

I've coloured the image using my Copic Markers and used some Glossy Accents on the balloons.  The papers are also downloadable from Cuddly Buddly.  The ribbon is from my stash.

I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Angels - Summer
Cupcake Craft Challenges - Don't be square

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you like it.

WOYWW 21 April

 
Hi

I'm a little late with my workspace today, and there's not much going on either !!!

There's an image of Edwin that I've coloured and another image that's part coloured. 
I still need to do something with the template hubby made me and I want to alter the After Eight Tube too - so many ideas yet so little time !!!

That's Thomas sitting there in the corner, I have to watch him or he'll steal something !!!

Here he is stretching up - not sure what he is after !

And Pablo resting at the bottom of the stairs - such a sensible place to rest don't you think !?!

Thanks for stopping by today, I'm off to Julia's Blog to see what the other WOYWWers are up to.

WOYWW 14 April

 
Hi

I can't believe that it's Wednesday again already !!!!  Time for ths week's WOYWW

Not much going on here I'm afraid

I've painted this Tilda using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads and now I want to make her into a card, but I'm not really sure how I want it !!!  I do like the way she turned out though, it made a nice change from my usual Copic colouring!!! Although, I now NEED to buy all the new colours (ahem maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all !!!)
Here's a couple of photo's of Thomas getting into mischief - I think he fancies himself as a bit of a model !!!

"Do you think this Photo Tent improves my colour Mum?"

Anyway, time for a nosy.  Hop on over Julia's Blog to see what the other WOYWWers are up to and if you're feeling brave you can always join in !!!

Wednesday again !!!

Here's my desk ....

Hubby's made another template for me, so I am in the process of making this up.  You can see the prototype there.   I've also got some stamps to mount - I really don't enjoy this job, but I guess it has to be done !!!

And last but by no means least, here are some kitty pics to keep your addictions fed!!!

Thomas, just checking today's mail!!
