Under the Sea

This week we've made it super easy on you all ANYTHING GOES !!! and our sponsor is PPinky Dolls.

Here's what I've done. I've used one of her images and Mirrored on an extra little seahorse to give a little extra going on This is all painted in Watercolours there is something about PPinky images that make me want to use different mediums and not use a pen on them I guess I like them to have a softer effect.

Well it looks like my ATC's arrived from the crop ... Canada post why are you so slow is all !!
To the point your wondering humm did it get lost in the post !!!
It was well worth the wait these are all stunning and it's perfect as this week as my space is all about Art work and these are all masterpieces from the girls across the pond :) thank you all

So from top left to Right 

1st Row

Mary Anne (with her pop up box), Margaret (silvercrafter),Cindy,Zoe,Annie(Wipso) Plus Card,Fiona

2nd Row

Jo (twiglet),Debbie (Tattered Rocks) + huge tag too.,Shaz,Hettie,Helen,

3rd Row

Bluebeard and Elizabeth,Chris(Pearshaped),Eliza,Julia,Rosa

So now for the pull back and I've been painting and pulled out my paints instead of paper crafting 

The DH thinks this is has a feminine feeling to it and he wants something darker for the next one 

and small board on the desk in front with the yellow and whites is a sample board for another Painting that will be much darker and richer colours

Honestly this wasn't what it was going to be on these boards I was think an old looking sign and

somewhere between the paintbrush and the boards this happened

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it now maybe some details around the edges I just don't know

thanks for stopping in

 So Here is my space this week it's PRETTY NAKED !!! I must say not much going on other then waiting on the mail man to give me the rest of the ATC's that are stuck in Canada Post which is SLOW!!! My desk isn't that exciting as last week we where working on the house and when that was finished I went out into the backyard through the scrap pile of wood (before it goes into the skip) and found enough to make a patio harvest table 9 foot by 3 feet which will be great. I've done one sanding on the top and just have to wait for some rain free days to get out back and cut the rest and give it a light sanding then put it together. Seal it up and have it out back  The DH is leaving it all to me and enjoying that I'm the one making it but it comes down to I want to have people over and we need somewhere to sit down to enjoy ourselves. 

It's only a pile of wood at the moment and I'll take a picture when I'm done with it and it's all put together :)
Here's my desk

So this is all that has arrived in the post with there little extra's above 

Love how they all are so unique :)

Happy WOYWW 

hugs Nikki

WOYWW # 6

 It's been 6 years of posting our spaces some of us have been here since the 1st year. I joined in roughly a few months after Julia started it and have been hooked since

so here is my space this week and along with all the ATC's I've made to trade and of course the WOYWW 6 buttons for the anniversary your free to use any of my buttons for your blogs and show them off.
1st My Desk this week
Just putting together all my ATC in one place I love to be able to flip through them and this way I won't misplace some :)

 So far this is all that has finally made it's way to me
 Canada Post can make MOLASSES LOOK FAST I SWEAR!!!

 WOYWW #4
seeing this is when I started trading them I don't own many but these are all amazing

The WOYWW 6 Buttons can be picked up at Julia's or at the top of my blog.

There are 6 different types!!

 I wrapped all of my ATC up so everyone gets a surprise and makes it a little fun. That way I didn't know who would get what hope those who get the darker images like em so I also will be out looking for them.

Well I made 27 ATC's in all WOW didn't think I'd make so many but I love to colour and this is a great way to try lots of different colour variations

Here's who I've swapped with (in Bold is who's arrived so far)

I've sent out 12 of these to Julia for the WOYWW crop and I know they are all having a blast there

Then I mailed some all over the place

Australia - Bridget,Sandra De 

USA Robyn 

UK - WOYWW Crop Gals (sent 12 to whom I'm swapping with is a mystery)

 Annie(Wipso)&Jo(Twiglet) ,Angela, Annie ,Mary Anne ,Jill

Swap Buddy is ?? 

All the ATC I've made

LOT 1 

 
Who doesn't love a zombie lol

 LOT 2 Made an Extra 9 of them (one not finished at time of Photo)

Started playing with funky Hair Combos

So much fun colouring them all in differently
My fave are the purple and blue hair girls

Close Ups of Most of them HERE!!!

So I plan on popping in to as many desks as I can 

even if it takes all week 

hugs Nikki
HAPPY WOYWW # 6

HAPPY WOYWW and only a little more time for the big reveal with all those ATC swaps

So here is my space this week I'm working on Window number 2 it's smaller then the 1st one but coming along I'll be working on it lots more this week to get it all done and ready put into the spot it belongs. Here is a look down on it

 Then here is a look Up on my desk the Lamp shade I made ages ago ... I love how they turn out but I honestly like to make windows a lot better.  So everything is stacked out of the way to give be space for my window

So here is the 1st one all done and put up so nice to look at and happy it's done

seeing we are doing all of these updates in our house we've found some really kewl little things in it 

who ever built it had some expensive taste for somethings cause in our sunroom we are in the middle of just updating it alittle when we found this hidden underneath all the boring wood paneling we've never seen this before

This is painted old safety glass with the wire inside it we've cleaned all the peeling paint off it and are going to keep it on one side and have wood paneling on the outside but this must have looked amazing in it's day seeing the house was built in the 1920's the DH is going to add in some molding and trims all around to make it look like it's never been touched.

This is just so kewl to have found

Happy Wed hugs Nikki

I'll pop around to as many peeps as I can 

and I'll be sharing all the ATC's when it's the big WOYWW# 6

EXOTIC ANIMALS

This week our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Outlet and I'm using a Stitchy Bear Stamp called Busted 

Now this little puppy really isn't exotic until I created Antlers on him and made him a mini Reindeer these are a very rare breed and their antlers can be removed at a moments notice lol

I digitally add in the "What is so" it's actually on there you just can't read it with the glossy effects over top.

Happy WOYWW and it's getting close to that time where we all SWAP our ATC's all over the world.  I have made more then I ever expected to so far I'm at 27 (2 for me and 25 to Swap) with one still to colour in but it will get done and I've mailed out most of them I have made 2 lots of them seeing I love to support the post office lol. Funny I haven't sent one to Canada ever for this swap ever lol !!!

So my desk is pretty Bare with very little on it seeing I was working on another stained glass window this week took a picture of it so you could all see it. It's based on the smaller ones that I just fixed up

So here's my space all labeled up
In the Happy Mail is my 1st COPIC marker I've never owned one till now so can't wait to use that 

some adorable tags and sweet little bows and flowers. 

So left to pop in the post which I'm hoping will be done on Wed for the last 3

envelopes waiting to go out 

all to the UK too !!

Pull Back of my space everything Pushed UP high

Window Almost done have to cement it (meaning use some putty to make it air tight)

and use some Black Patina on it so it no longer looks new 

So I have 3 ATC's Left to swap let me know 

If anyone wants to let me know.

Happy WOYWW

hugs Nikki 

Special Day !!

Our Sponsor this week is Sami Stamps and our challenge is the great outdoors. When I picked my digi I didn't even think of the challenge I just saw this lovely image and thought wedding card and so I merged it with a Limited Runs digi and voila a girl outside. That bead work flower I made myself and finished it off with a MME brad the papers I've had forever and finally used them. I'm trying to work through my paper stash to get it nice and small ... so I have to get more lol

HAPPY WOYWW 

So here's my desk it's a slight dumping grounds seeing I haven't been crafting cards much more like stain glass windows I have two to design and create for two long side windows they are going to be based on the ones I showed last week most likely stretched longer to match them all in which I think will work really nice normally I create Victorian style but this time it's prairie style which is a nice change just a lot of straight lines with some thinking involved on making sure they all go the right way :) 

So you can see all my 12 by 12 and large sheets tossed on my desk yep my space isn't that tidy just shoved up 

Still have a few ATC's To swap leave a comment if you want to 

I will mail anywhere 

hugs Nikki

I will pop around and visit all who visit me too
