WOYWW 705: Blind as A Bat

 Welcome to my first December link up with WOYWW c/o the lovely Julia at Stamping Ground.

My desk shows a stencil I was working with yesterday ready for my blog post on Christmas Eve (I like to get ahead with my projects lol).

As you can see my latest journal pages have taken on a combination vintage/Christmas/Winter theme as I try to get into the festive spirit.

I am no longer driving in the dark thanks to the cataract in my left eye.  At the opticians on Saturday they were amazed at how much it has developed in the seven months since my last appointment.  I am being referred for surgery urgently and hope to be seen in 4-6 weeks.  Apparently I am developing a cataract in my right eye also so will be referred for that too - but the left takes priority.  I can't wait, as using a computer is getting more difficult and I often have to sit really close to the screen as my varifocals are not much good.

Hubby is giving me lifts into work and a colleague is dropping me off afterwards very kindly.

Meeting after school this evening so may not visit until the morning. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. 

Happiness is A Butterfly Tree

I combined and old favourite set of stamps and the matching stencil to create this card.

ATC Sized Mini Cards with Matching Envelopes

 I made some clean and simple ATC cards and matchiing envelopes using one of the new KISS Build a Scene stamp sets and the ready die cut ATC cards and mini envelopes from Clarity Crafts.

Combining Masks and Stamping for a Pop Art Effect

I combined this mask set with a background stamp to create a pop art feel.

A Row of Rainbow Birds

I actually only used the bird dies for this card - pop back later in the week to see how I used the aperture sections.

Trees, Trees, Trees: A Tag

 The latest challenge over on Tag Tuesday is Trees, Trees, Trees.  I certainly have no shortage of possibilities available using my Clarity Crafts stash and was spoilt for choice.  This is what I came up with in the end.

Daily Challenge Only One Month to Go

 And so November is over and I am down to the last month of my self imposed challenge of create a daily journal page in 2022.  As usual each page is finished off with one or more of the Clarity Crafts words stickers of which there are five collections.

I went with some Tim Holtz collage tiles.

Followed by some of the Christmas Botanicals.

I then went back to using some of the Studiolight die cut images.

Followed by more of the botanicals.

I finished the month with some of the Christmas Paper Dolls and a more vintage look.
