Morning!
it's getting closer to the end of the week, and tomorrow I'll be away on a wee jaunt across town to meet up with my crafty buddies Anne and Kath and blonde deliciousness that is Buddy for a catch up. This'll be the first time we've got together since - is it as long ago as the SECC?? Then I'll probably see them both again plus Jacqui at Simply Create for the shop relaunch and Kath's Hero Arts demo. If you are within driving distance of Alford then you really must see Kath in action - the woman is amazing.
So what have I been up to? well with a lovely tidy desk again (see previous WOYWW posts) it's been a joy to craft. And it will be even better from now on because after hopping round half of the WOYWWers yesterday I decided that I needed a hutch for the top of my desk as the wee shelf just wasn't cutting the mustard. I did my usual and googled "desk hutch" but oh my goodness they are expensive, and with "adapt and overcome" being my motto of the moment - I had a bit of a brainwave. I had previously picked up a faux leather DVD holder at Asda, and that was where I kept all my 8x8 and 6x6 papers, so I thought I could turn it on its side and it would make a great hutch - especially if I bought another 2 so that it stretched the length of my desk. So last night was spent rearranging all my bits in my nice new hutch, but I won't show you just yet - think I'll keep that wee surprise for next week's WOYWW.
I think I mentioned before that I'd splashed out on the 4 new soft centre stamps from Sugar Nellie last week. Just to be different I decided to colour Oscar the Owl - he's dead easy to colour.

papers are all Cosmo Cricket Earth Love, stitched on . The brads are papermania and the wooden button is from a stall at the SECC in October.
I followed Kiki's sketch at The Sugar Bowl, so I'd like to enter him there

LOL I nearly forgot the teaser - tomorrow I will be back with some fabulous candy, have some brand spanking new goodies from Letraset to give away and after my clear out I've unearthed lots of other goodies to give away too - including some of my favourite Sugar Nellie stamps, so remember to pop back tomorrow.

I used that idea for a 'hutch' (although didn't know they were called that) about 2 to 3 years ago for my Sizzix dies and CB folders. It works very well and wanted to add to it a few months back (ran out of space) but my local Asda have stopped selling them :( Not only does it work well, it looks good to with the faux leather. Have fun this weekend.
... should have said, I stacked mine - one on top of the other :)

This card is amazing Debbie. I spotted it yesterday when I visited your blog, but my internet was playing up, so had to come back to comment today. I just love those papers! Stunning. I like how you have stiched them on (its quite brave to use a machine I think, I can only hand stitch! :D). The heart looks fantastic and your colouring is just perfect! Seriously :)
Have a great day,
hugs

the owl card is so so stinking cute
Love the card Debbie xx
Very nice card.
I love the colours you have used, very masculine and springlike at the same time. And I don't know exactly why but the owl makes me laugh. So cute, and I hope it will bring a smile to the person who receives it.
Happy crafting,
Laetitia xx
I love all the zig zag stitching on this card! I have got to try that! Thanks for sharing
