Well, the colours on the trees are certainly showing us it's autumn at the moment and I made a card for an Autumn Mingle on a stamping group I am on. Wanted to think outside the box a bit and so I used the Unity stamp I have had for years and never used. Coloured the image in autumnal colours (they don't show very well here) and then diecut some leaves and coloured them with Distress Inks and scattered them about on the card underneath the image.
It did look better in real life
I love autumn for its colours and so enjoy going for a ride in the car and seeing all the reds, yellows and oranges contrasting against the browns and greens. We have a whole row of yellow leaves on some kind of bushes in our garden. I just wish I had the Japanese Acer somewhere nearer with its dark red leaves. I feel like going for a walk in woodland right now just to see all the contrasting colours and maybe listen to the rustle of the fallen leaves under my feet. Nothing nicer than being wrapped up nice and warm with a hat, gloves and scarf and a paid of boots on a crisp autumnal morning is there.
Well, after waxing lyrical about autumn I had better show you my desk because I want to link up with WOYWW which is probably the longest running blog in blogland. What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday was an idea thought up by the Queen of Deskers, Julia herself. We usually have an annual crop but we missed out this last summer on account of Covid 19 but to celebrate the 600th edition we are hoping to hold a virtual crop. How exciting is that!!
So if you fancy coming along why not pop over to Julia's blog, here, right now and join in today, or next week if I am giving you too short a notice and then you can come and play with us in just over a month's time.
As you can see I have been playing with Janet Klein's figures yet again. I have so many pages for this book I am making I am beginning to doubt it will hold together with so many pages. The pages are at an end now, no more figures to make so perhaps in a week or two I will have it finished. OK so I have been saying this for a month now - will happen this time. So there is a box at the back with my stamps in and next to it some AALL & Create stencils plus some Cut N'Dry then my pencil case (Shaz & Doug, you would love this - sorry it caught the light, it's one of those 3D pictures) and in the front my Inktense pencils and my little figures. you can just see one of my pages peeking out.
Right, it's time to call this a day. See you next week.
ps am annoyed again - it will not fully justify after the first paragraph then also after I have put a photograph in it centres writing - so now I have a mis-mash of styles and I do NOT like it. I am a bit of a fuss pot when it comes to displaying my blog and I like straight edges with photos in the centre. Grrrr.......
Revisited - still will not fully justify but at least it has done left hand justification
