Woyww

Well it's Wednesday and this week I've finally managed to remember to get a post sorted for woyww Click here for the awesome blog by Julia at stamping ground.


So onto my desk, what's on my desk this week, well not a lot to be honest



I have a rather naughty kitten who thinks my craft space is a great play area and most of the time when I craft he likes to get involved


Well at least he had fun!

As this is a crafty post I thought I better include so of the things I managed to get on with once the cat left me alone! Christmas cards... At last












Well off to work now and will explore some desks later, thanks for looking :) x

Forever is a long time

but I wouldn't mind spending it with you.

Here is my entry for the bears next literature Challenge. This month you had to chose your favourite cubhood (childhood) book. Either one that you still enjoy today or one that you remember well and use it as inspiration for your project.

I chose Judy Blume's, Forever. This is still one of my favourites




It's about a teenage girl, Katherine, who believes that she has found love forever and so agrees to take her relationship further with Michael.

This book reminds me of the feeling when your a teenager and you really do believe love is forever. So taking inspiration from the title and thinking of my husband, who I hope will be mine forever I created this page




I used old book pages for the background, then followed a technique from craft stamper using chipboard shapes and tissue paper to create texture.

I gesso'd on top and finished off with a light pink wash.

Thanks for looking and I hope you pop over to the bears blog to take part.
