WOYWW 894/114: And Breathe

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

Not much has changed on my desk that I can show you as I spent the weekend and Monday making samples. Yesterday was spent having a PJ day.






I went to the dentist last Thursday and have a course of antibiotics and a follow up appointment for next Wednesday.  I also saw the GP on Monday afternoon and have been referred to the hospital for further tests tomorrow.  I am obviously falling apart post retirement.  I am very glad for the NHS.

This evening I will be driving to Birmingham (Midland Arts Centre) to see Steve Hofstetter, the stand up comedian from the US.  Really looking forward to it as I have followed him on FB for ages.

Mum's as usual on Friday so will make my visits while there.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

 I have had these Scotland and Wales stamps out recently so thought I would look back on some of the projects I have created with these and the Famous Places stamps from Clarity Crafts.  As always, links to the projects appear below each picture. 

Made for a colleague moving to Scotland (see HERE).

I have only just got round to sharing a late calendar page for July.  I couldn't resist a play with the new Dotted Deer stamps from Clarity Crafts.  Here is what I made.

Doodleology: Ideas and Inspiration

As this collection of Doodleology element stamps and mats from Clarity Crafts were featured recently, I though I would bring together some of my projects featuring them.  As usual the link to the projects are below each photo. 

They are suitable for all types of cards (see HERE).

#dailyatc2026: July So Far

I have completed the next part of this year's challenge to myself - a daily ATC, following the prompts over on 365 days of drawing prompts and other art and using Clarity stamps, stencils and stickers.  Here are my offerings for the first half of July.












I used one of the Wonky Tree stamps from Timestamp Creations and added a pot with a micron pen.

A couple of NDC stamps came in handy.



As always, I have used the alphabet stamps from Timestamp Creations to label each of my ATCs.

Plaids and Stripes Stencils: Ideas and Inspiration

 As stencils are flavour of the month with Clarity Crafts at the moment, I thought I would look back at the projects I completed using the Plaids and Stripes 8" x 8" stencils.  As usual, links to each project appear below each photo.

Combined with masking on a postcard (see HERE).
