WOYWW stencils, stamps, dies & midnight meanderings

Today was supposed to be an "At Home" day. You know, so I could get some things done, possibly even finished. Well, after a quick trip to the gym, an even quicker trip to the shops and a lightning quick visit to the library, I did spend the rest of the day dabbling in arty endeavours.  So, here's an early morning pic ...

A very new Altenew stamp and die set waiting to be used, and a ballet dancer stencil which I managed to cut out in the wee small hours the other night, during one of my insomnia bouts. Luckily, I was awake enough to take care with the extremely sharp cutting blade. I guess it could have ended badly.

And much later today ...

Still admiring the Altenew stamps and dies. Oh, and a new tree die which I think will be very versatile. I'm still trying to finish that (Wanderlust) recycled packaging project.  It's nowhere near finished but I've now added random pieces torn from a (copied) piece of my own artwork.

What are you doing, at your desk?  Desk watching brought to you courtesy of Julia at her Stamping Ground.

WOYWW Water ("colouring in") and wedding card

I've taken to watercolours, but really, all I'm doing is "Colouring In". Maybe the only artistic ability required here is to figure out where the shading goes. 

As you probably guessed, I have used that nice Altenew stamp, "Beautiful Day".

And if you came by here last week, I did make another card which turned out to be

 The (final) Wedding Card ...

ah, yes ... same stamp again! It's versatile, right?

WOYWW Wedding Card

I need to make a wedding card for this Friday! Of course, there was plenty of notice for the wedding, but I have put off actually making the card. So, best get on with it ...

Not totally happy with the two on the right. The one on the left will be the final one ... I think.

I've also been busy with other projects ... a recycled brown paper bag and some original print cards.  Oh, and the Wanderlust September Challenge.

Anyway, that's all for now.  See you over at Julia's place.

WOYWW a mini tidy up ... and an Altenew Challenge

and look there's room to actually finish something ...

Following the Pick a Stick prompts (for the May challenge), and here's my finished spread.
I know, it makes no sense unless you have a look at the directions. Anyway, I'm quite pleased with it. There are more details here.

And I've been getting good use from those Altenew stamps ...

I think I might enter the above card in the Altenew June Challenge.

Here's the inspiration for the challenge ...

Sending very best wishes to Julia and Jan.  

I'll be visiting, via Jan's place ... sooner or later :)

BTW, last week Helen (Laurence) visited - thank you, but I'm sorry, I could find no way of leaving a comment on your blog.
