Lone Golden Pine

For my last sample using the new Wee Tree stencils, I used Versamark ink through one of the stencils and embossed in gold.

#dailyatc2026: Half the Year Done!

I have completed my sixth month 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 second half of June.

This should have been holding your breathe but I misread my own handwriting!

As usual there will be a change of background colours for my July ATCs.

WOYWW 891/111: A Little Cooler

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. 

I can't believe it is July already.  Where did the first half of 2026 go? 

My desk shows my daily affirmation cards and also the results of a fabulous workshop with Tilly Tea Dance on Saturday.  The day was topped off by a visit to the theatre to see Willy Wonka, which was an excellent production. 

I managed to get four samples made and posted off by Sunday, so it was a busy weekend too. 

I have gone green for my July #dailyatc2026 backgrounds, as you will see next week.

It has been far more comfortable in school this week thank goodness - hopefully you have all enjoyed cooler temperatures.

Tomorrow I am off to York with the Lichfield recorder group for the u3a festival.  Another long day, so I am looking forward to a lie in on Friday!

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Ombre Tree Row

I went for an ombre look for this row of trees using one of the new Wee stencils.

Grungy Wee Stencil Notelets

I decided to get grungy with the new Wee Stencils from Clarity Crafts and used art masking fluid and Oxide sprays to create this pair of notelets.

Wee Stencils on Kraft Card

I love these new Wee stencils from Clarity Crafts.  I used one of the six in the tree set together with the extremely useful stencil plate mate to create this card.

Reflection Masks

I made this birthday card with the Pine Trees by the Riverside pair.  There are plenty of other masks in the reflection collection to play with too.
