Where did this week go? I am loving the fact that it is June and we have actually had some sun... 4 days of picnic tea in the garden much to Alex's delight.
As it is Wednesday it is time for
WOYWW again and here is my desk in the process of making a card for my nephew. Apologies for the terrible photo... the camera didn't like the sun streaming in through the window. Propped up against my mug (sadly empty) are the wonderful ATCs I have received so far from the anniversary hop... there are more to come from abroad which is very exciting. The open drawer holds my promarkers, then there is the image I am about to colour in, the die cuts I was going to use to cut it out and some possible background papers.
This is a close up of the gorgeous ATCs I have received. The top left gorgeous green is from Redanne, top middle vintage stamping and washi tape from Julia (our erstwhile leader), and top right amazing stitching from Wipso. The bottom row consists of the pink heart (and the gorgeous tag) both from Ria Gall, the stunning zentangle from JoZarty, and the stitching from Twiglet. Thank you all so much... they are gorgeous!
JoZarty also sent Alex a special ATC which he loves.... he has now decided that he wants to make them and was happy yesterday after school and this morning making a couple.
Here are the ones I sent - I hope that they have got there by now! The background was made using my gelliplate, a stencil and a mask, and then stamping over the top and colouring using promarkers. I am entering these into
SSSS 'things starting with S' (Summery colours, Stamping and Stencils).
This is the finished birthday card which loosely follows this weeks
Unscripted sketch, and fits with the
creative card crew 'punches/dies',
Kaboodle Doodles 'for the kids' and
PTW 'anything goes' challenges. That is all from me for now. Have a great week everyone.
Love
Caro

Hi Caro great ATC's you have made/received. Love that Alex wants to make some. Lovely card I am wracking my brains at the moment for ideas for my eldest grandson's birthday card. Happy WOYWW Anne x #52
How super of Jo to send Alex his own - she is a lovely lady! All your atc's are just fab, Caro!! Helen, 5
I love the sun and isn't it funny how we all complain about the lack of it in our pics then when we get bright sun we still complain hehehe.
Thanks so much for the gorgeous ATC and ribbons...life has just got in my way and I haven't managed to email all my friends who have sent mine to me [Sorry]. I love them all and the fact that they were sent by friends I haven't met [as yet].
Hugs,
