Hand Tree Pop-Up Box Card

The SHAC Doodle Trees and Birds stamps lend themselves to different card shapes.  Here I used them with a pop-up box card shape.

SHAC Doodles Trees & Birds Stamps

More fabulous SHAC Doodle stamps designed by Barbara Gray.  From the very first weeks of lockdown.  I love that they are finally stamps.

Funky Houses Frame for Poetry

I have missed a lot of the more recent SHAC get togethers with Barbara Gray recently as they coincide with the days I work and I never seem to find time to catch up on YouTube.  So I was so happy when these were produced as stamps.  I turned them into a frame for one of the poetry verses.

Garden Birds Stamps: Ideas and Inspiration

 I thought I'd bring all my ideas and inspiration for the Garden Birds stamps from Claritystamp together into one place.  They work well on both plain backgrounds and with the designer papers.  All links lead to step by step instructions for each card.

Waste Not Want Not: Quick and Easy Christmas Card

This quick and easy Christmas card was made from the waste created when die cutting an aperture for another project.  I hate waste, especially glitter card, so used a technique invented by Barbara Gray to create this card.

Baby Boy Card

A colleague has recently gone on maternity leave.  This is the card that I made for the staff to give her (after a period in quarantine)!

WOYWW 600: Happy Landmark Share!

Welcome to the landmark 600th week of WOYWW on Julia's Stamping Ground.  I haven't been sharing my desk for anywhere near that long but I am so glad to join in today!  Congratulations Julia on such a long running blog hop and creating such a tribe/family/clan!

After a brief break from the daily drawing while very busy sample making, I started following the drawcember2020 prompts yesterday and have taken out my book today ready to spend 5-10 minutes drawing and relaxing before I leave for work.

I have been teaching from home via google classrooms for the last week, as hubby went for a Covid test on 23rd November and we have still not heard back from that despite much chasing.  He therefore went for another test on Monday this week.  The results for that came back negative yesterday, so I can finally return to teaching face to face today.  It has been very frustrating all round.  Now I just need to catch up with all the marking.

Here is a close up of yesterday's drawing in case you haven't seen it on Facebook.

Here are the prompts in case anyone else fancies joining in.  I have decided to finish after #28 and miss out #26 so there will be 27 drawings to finish off my first Daler-Rowney cartridge paper book.  Luckily I have another one to start catching up with inktober2019 after these are complete.  Thank you Margaret (Glitterandglue) for the fabulous Christmas card which came through the letterbox yesterday.  I am afraid that I shall not be sending out cards this year, but will make a charitable donation instead.  Stay safe and happy 600th WOYWW.  I can't wait to see everyone at the Zoom crop on Saturday!  I'll be around to visit after work this evening or tomorrow morning.
