What's on my work desk this Wednesday

This is what is on my desk this week,on the left hand side of the table.
There are a number of rubber stamps and a pile of paper at the back and a lot of stamped elements I have painted and cut out.I am going to use all these elements on a layout of my Great Grandma.all the elements are sewing linked as she was a dressmaker.




As well as these elements I made some flowers to go on the same layout





I stamped some flowers on water colour paper then painted them and cut them out, then shaped them.


After that i glued them together to make the flowers for my layout


All the elements now made I have to just put the layout together!!!

This week I went to stay with a crafty friend for a few days and we did a few pages in our journals and went to a local crop near where she lives.it was good to see it was well attended with I would think, well over fifty people there.



Well if you have had a look at my desk and would like to see other people's crafty desks..... Just click on the link on the right hand side of my blog marked stamping ground and you will be whisked away to Julia's blog where all is explained.
Thank you for stopping by.

      As she was a dress maker I thought I would be the appropriate design to work with and I seemed to have a lot of dressmaking rubber stamps

    That was a most enjoyable blog read Jackie. Love the elements you have put together for the LO an those flowers are adorable.
    The pages you did in your book are fabulous, love the rich vibrancy of the colours, especially the one on the left hand side. It really cheers one up on dull days like we are having up north.
    Thanks for visiting me and happy WOYWW.

    h wow - they look wonderful. Of all the scrappy, sticky, inky, messy things I do I have never really gotten in to watercolour. Love the look, don't have the knack (why am I singing My Sharonna in my head? Oh, wait... :)) to make it look good. But yoours are stunning. Will need to pop back for the finished item.

    Looks like you've done loads of lovely fussy cutting...do you find you have to be in the mood to do it? That's how it happens for me, so I save it up until I feel like cutting for a few hours! lol Thanks for sharing all the pictures of your space and projects. The journal looks very colorful and pretty. I haven't done a journal yet, but I love that page on the right that looks pinkish and if I did one I would definitely want some pages like that in it. :) Thanks for leaving me a comment on my blog already and have a great weekend!
