WOYWW - Pawly Horace Gets Creative

Hello there, goodness, ANOTHER Wednesday? Really? But we only just had one. Well, if you insist. I guess that means another WOYWW then? Yippeee, it's the best bit of Wednesday in my furry opinion. All the
nosy curious bears and humans get to peak into other crafters' lives, courtesy of Julia at Stamping Ground.

With that in mind, would you like to see the bears' desk? It's Horace here today, I've bravely dragged myself out of my sick bed to show you our desk, as the other bears are all napping! Don't worry though, I have my special trapper hat on to keep my furry head warm.

On with the desk.... I'm finishing a journal page which I started on a visit to the cub, other people's stash is much more interesting than your own, and I had soon created a bright background, I borrowed the Indigoblu stamp as I wanted to stamp her up in red, and the cub only had black archival ink. I also borrowed some sentiment stamps, as I wanted to copy one and knew I'd never remember what it said once I was home. You can also see two Craft Stamper mags, the old telephone directory being used as a glue and wipe off book, the ipodgy, which Podgy generously allowed me to use, for a small fee of 60 Custard Creams........



Here's my finished journal page, eek, isn't it busy? Oh well, aren't they always when I journal?



Would you like a close up?



I'm off for a lovely hop around the WOYWW desks. See you soon......
Ooh, hold on! Don't go yet......have you seen our challenge? It runs for two months this time, so still time to enter. Have a look here for details, we'd love for you to join in.

With love from the bears

  4. Lovely pages.
    I think 60 custard creams is a very reasonable fee :) in fact I may start charging like this too!
    Happy WOYWW

  7. Poor things... so sorry you're still feeling pawly. But those lovely pages must have felt therapeutic. Personally, I think Podgy's got a bit of a cheek - 20 custard creams max, I'd say!

  16. I guess that 60 custard creams wasn’t such a high price to for the use of the ipodgy,. Now if it had been 60 chocolate digestives I might have had to stop and think long and hard before I agreed.
    You’ve done a fab job with the journal page and I love, love, love the bright colours, heaven knows it dark and dismal outside and we need a bit of cheering up.

    Hope you're on the mend soo Horace.
    Happy Crafting!

    Sorry I am late, been away and since coming back am suffering with hay fever which has meant eyes almost closed. Is it hayfever you have got?
