Decorated Lantern Box

I have had the Lantern Box Bigz (L) die for over a year and had never used it.  I decided to use it to create a 3D piece for a change.

Under the Sea Tag

This month's New Design Club die from Claritystamp is so good that I wanted to have a play straight away.  This is the tag that I created with it to use as a book mark.

Clean and Simple New Home Card

Another one of our sons and his girlfriend moved into a new place recently.  This is the card that I made for the house warming party.

Coordinating Scraps to Create a Tag

I finally managed to find time to join in with the June Challenge over on Tag It Tuesday.  Better last minute than never lol.  The four prompts this month were 1) Add mountains or trees; 2) Add dictionary text; 3) Purple and 4) Use a random scrap from your desk.  I used all four for a change.

Easel Card: Be Still and Listen the Earth is Singing

I made this easel card a while ago using matching stamps and dies from Claritystamp.  An embossed panel was placed behind the die cut aperture.

Particle Stencil : Girl Power Card

This was the last of my samples for the Mixed Media ODS last Wednesday and Thursday on Hochanda.

WOYWW 525: Life's Short

This time next week I will be sharing my desk from Berlin where I will be with three colleagues and 31 Y8 pupils.  It is the fourth year that I have organised and accompanied the trip, but I still worry about getting everything done and not forgetting anything.  However, having read Julia's and Shaz's posts last week with the sad news about Erika I am trying to chill a bit more.  I didn't ever meet Erika, but I enjoyed her posts to WOYWW as Sumbunneh and realise that life is too short to spend worrying about what might be.  RIP Erika.

I have another alternate view for you all this week.  These trolleys sit immediately to the right of my chair and to the right of last week's view.  They contain my paints, mixed media supplies and regularly used items so I don't have to go far when in the throes of creating.  I have 10 samples to post tomorrow and can relax a little now until after the trip.  I will still be blogging every day but have nearly enough projects finished that I can share while away.  I will prepare all the posts at the weekend so the only one which will be live from Berlin will be next week's WOYWW.  
I will be round to visit this evening or in the morning as it is unlikely that I will get much visiting done next week.

These are three of the projects that I sneak peeked last week.  I will share the last one tomorrow.
Before I forget, happy 'BIG' birthday to Helen today!
