WOYWW 141 - here we are again!

Oooh I'm so late this morning. Well I'm not but it feels like I am. I've already been up to my parents this morning as it's my Dad's 60th birthday, so of course, I had to go and give him his cards and pressies.

Ok my desk this morning is full of printed off sheets, ready for cards I want to make for March Birthdays.



Those of you who have been visiting the last few weeks will notice there are things missing on my desk - my button jars. Well look where they are now....



Yes finally I have had some shelves put up on the wall right next to my desk! And those eagle eyed of you will notice there is another jar of yellow buttons now. The collection is growing!

Anyway last week you all saw the starting of my Dad's card.  My first idea of the acetate overlay didn't work out and do you know, I'm pleased because the final card is so much better.

Here it is for those of you who didn't see my post which featured it.



I'm thrilled with it, and so was my dad when he opened it this morning!

I'm looking forward to visiting you all over the next few days, I managed to visit all of you and left comments on a majority of your posts last week. So thanks for sharing, I'm loving seeing your desks and your work. Thanks to Julia over at The Stamping Ground for hosting our collective creative spaces!

Take care Zo x

    Happy Birthday to your Dad. I'm glad he loved his card, it really is a stunner. You have inspired me to do something with this stamp for my best friends birthday at the weekend. She goes the the Lakes every weekend, they have a static caravan and just loves it so this will be perfect.
    I can't believe you are onto March Birthdays already, you are so organised.
    Happy WOYWW

    Your new shelves are great. Anything that gets the supplies up off the work surface is loved by me! It also showcases your button jars!

    Your Dad's card is great. The addition of the red is just stunning.

    I think the printed off sheets are so interesting. Where do you get them...do you have to use special ink?

    I can see why your dad loved his card! It is gorgeous! And I like the papers you have printed off as well! Especially the Union Jack one! It has a great grunge-look to it! Did it print out like that or have you done that yourself after printing? I will have to check back to see what you make with it!
