March ATC and Card: Yellow/Something For Her

For the March ATC over on Clarity Crafts Mini Makes & ATCs, the theme was Something For Her and the colour was yellow.  This is what I made for my swap partner.

WOYWW 823/43: What A week

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday), the brainchild of Julia, who has kindly entrusted it to me to continue after 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.  I must apologise for not visiting last week - Saturday was the anniversary of Paul's death and yesterday I had a departmental review in school so I have been up to my neck with work.

My desk therefore has contained nothing but my laptop, #dailyart2025 and secret stuff for the last couple of weeks.  This is a candid shot of my typical breakfast - fat free Greek yoghurt, blueberries, strawberries and granola.

There have been some very challenging prompts this week but Saturday's was on the nose.

The school is interviewing for my replacement on Friday so I am off timetable for the morning to participate in lesson observations.  Back to normal lessons in the afternoon while the formal interviews take place.  Assessments are coming up for KS3 so I will have plenty of marking to keep me occupied. Thank goodness for my recorder groups.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Get Well Soon (But Don't Overdo Things)

This was made to send best wishes to someone recovering from an operation.

Beauty Bijou Japanese Butterfly Round

I finished my samples using the Japanese Flowers & Butterfly Sampler stamps with a mini make.

Bijou Japanese Butterfly Round on Kraft

I went for a more monochromatic look for this sample using one of the Japanese Flower & Butterfly Sampler stamps from Clarity Crafts - black and white on kraft card.

Embedded Bijou Japanese Butterfly Rounds

These may be smaller stamps, but they can still work on larger cards.  Here I used an embedder to frame two of the Japanese Flowers & Butterfly Sampler stamps from Clarity Crafts.

Stamped Pencil Case

I have some plain fabric pencil cases and thought I would decorate one of them using the Bijou Japanese Butterfly Rounds stamps from Clarity Crafts.
