WOYWW it's been so long!!!

It's been a while for me but I had to share my space with you this is what I got in for Happy Mail Yesterday (nothing has been done since) on my desk other then it tidied up the DH is warning me I'm getting lots of stuff so had to hide some away so it's neat and tidy. This is a prize I won from Lulu there is tons to play with so WOW!!! also there is a score pal on the bottom too.

 Here's a pull back of my space as you can see I'm making some windows again to the left Why I never did this set up before is beyond me it's perfect window to the left and room to cut glass on the right. Love those L shaped spaces . That's window #2 being started out of 12 it looks like but it's going be done over the summer so not in too much of a rush.

 Here's what it looks like all done the glass can't be seen through seeing it's for a hallway so if you want to run from the bathroom to a bedroom naked. SO be it lol, the neighbours can't see nothing !!

Thanks for looking 

and if your wondering what all this is about

Emu vs the Ewe

So here's a clean and simple card I've made just colouring the whole thing up using pencil crayons and chalks for the swirling bg.

There us a little back story to this card. 

I posted this new Digi an Emu in my facebook group its a new image for our progressive challenge and somehow typed in Elmo the Ewe. DIDN'T NOTICE THE MISTAKE !!!  Someone kindly asked isn't it a Emu not an Ewe. OMG too funny I didn't realize that I had made the mistake way to funny so that's how this card was made up and soon an Ewe will be in the shop with Elmo in a new pose or two.

Hello WOW !!!

A little Hello Card 

Faux Leather Background

Used paper bag and crumpled it up

Flatted it out then ripped it up to cover over the  page

Glued it all down 

Then using two different Brown inks one dark and light

went over with the dark 1st lightly 

then the lighter shade heavy handed to get it in the cracks

afterwords I used WOW embossing powder Dull 

and covered the whole thing with it

Voila Faux Leather

Used More WOW on the rest of it

Used their Stamps from "Just Saying" and "Happy Little Flower" Sets

Used Opaque Bright White to create the flowers then coloured 

them with a Crayola Pencil in Gold

The Hello is just stamped in Black with a gold ink around the edges

then embossed the whole thing with Clear embossing powder
