WOYWW 768: Like I've Never Been Away

 Even though it was an INSET day on Monday it is like I have never been away the holidays flew by so fast.  Wednesday is here again so it is time to share my desk once more with the Julia and the gang at Stamping Ground for WOYWW.

I can't show you any actual crafting as I am busy with samples for the Clarity shows next month.  However I have been building up stocks of German games for my weekly German club including these Doppelkopf cards.  I don't think I will be playing with the students though.  I accidently ordered the old German version rather than the more familiar hearts, clubs, diamonds, spades set so will put these on the back burner.  I have bought a set of Animal playing cards where you have to build a set of four and all the names of the animals are on the cards.  I have some German top trump type cards on order too - rivers, countries and mountains.
As you can see I have a few more ephemera sets that work with my #dailycollage2024 including these lovely feathers.  I have promised myself no more purchases from Temu this year.  I am off to a meeting in Stafford this afternoon so may be tomorrow before I visit.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

And there I was wondering WHICH sticker sets you had purchased as I like them very much, will need to have a better look on Temu myself, this time I wouldn't be too bothered about when the package got here as last time I needed the fascinator for the wedding. Adore your collages and definitely intrigued about games in German, or was that German games LOL. Hugs BJ#12

I think your students will love the card games in German, what a great way to learn the language! I often used to use playing cards in my maths intervention groups, the kids thought they were having time off, little did they know, mwahahahahaha!!

Love the collages - those gorgeous feathers look real! The playing cards are intriguing - I would be tempted to use them for collage - from what little I can see of them the designs look beautiful.
Hope you have a good meeting today.
Happy WOYWW,

Happy accident I'd say, although you may jot get so much use from them, the traditional Doppelkopf cards are really lovely! As are your collages. Great good luck with staying away from Temu, and with the samples for the next few shows.

Love the look of your Dopplekopf cards. I hope we get to see some of the other game cards that you purchase.
Had to smile at the Temu declaration.

Hi Sarah, will you use the cards or just add them to your collection? I hope you meeting goes well. No more Temu ? - that’s a bit harsh! Happy WOYWW Angela #14

Loving the use of the feather die cuts this week. I've just found a box of feathers in my sorting so maybe I can actually add them on to some collage at some point. Thank you for the inspiration! Lisa-Jane #9 (https://www.prettymypage.co.uk/woyww-768/)
