OK so it is that time of year when I have a grant to submit and I am mega stressed as a result. Anyway, you didn't come here to listen to me moan so here is Alex busy crafting at my desk using a stencil with stippling effect for the first time.
And here is his final picture!
For my entry to
WOYWW this week, this is my desk as it was on Tuesday evening (it hasn't changed much since then due to work). You can see my trusty mug of lovely hot tea, my smash book with a list of pages to do sat on top of it, a pencil, spare SD card and random post it notes. Rather dull today I'm afraid!
Here are those pages from my smash book... Alex's first tooth fairy visit and fun in one of our parks. I am gradually catching up!
This is a card I made for one of the PhD students who is leaving us. In case you couldn't guess she is into snowboarding! I am entering this into
SSSS 'stripes' (I hope that the dotted rays count),
CCC 'CAS and no flowers' (I hope this is CAS enough!)
This is the card I made for Tim for our anniversary. I am entering this into
Creative Card Crew 'no designer papers' as I decorated the background with stamping and inks entirely,and
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday 'create a splash' (water colours and ink splats etc). That's all from me for now. Have a great rest of the week everyone...I will visit when I can, grant permitting.
Love
Caro

Wow you have a bevy of beautiful crafting projects! All stunning! I guess Alex taught you all you know! His stencilling is brilliant! Good luck with the grant application, a cuppa tea works wonders with stress...as does some chocolate! RELAX! #70
Alex is a very talented boy, we love his arty design, it would make a fabulous start to a journal page.
Thanks for visiting the bears already today,

I am uber impressed, your little man's picture is brilliant! Love the scrapbook pages, the tooth fairy one is great, don't think I ever did one of my son for that! :( Good luck with the grant application... I used to photocopy them and then I knew what to say the next time round!! LOL Annette #6
Someone looks like he has been very busy! I always stand, but I sit at the computer tho' (that's if the cat hasn't pushed me out of the chair!
Happy WOWW!

You are just like me. There is nearly always a mug of tea on my desk when I am busy working. It is great to see Alex enjoying his art so much. Have a good week. Kate x #52
WEll, Alex certainly created a lovely picture - is it turning into a card? It is lovely.
I really like the LO you have done, great reminder of an event in his life and two great cards too.
