What's On Your Worktop Wednesday. #739

 Happy WOYWW! Yes I know...I'm still working on the ironing board...and in the kitchen. I did have to clear it all away as I had a little visitor, Stanley, he's a Tibetan, and wow...suddenly the bungalow looked twice as big! There was no crafty stuff anywhere!! None on the floor, nothing on the worktop in the kitchen, except kitchen things-well, my bedroom was still a bit full...but I'm using the spare 'red' bedroom at the moment, so that doesn't count! Above you can see what I've been upto after I'd finished covering the 12x12 and stamping anything about sewing all over it. (I think I went a bit OTT)

 I've been following Ceri The Crafter and others on Youtube for ages. He has many ideas of what to do with unloved 12x12's. Either cover them in paint, (see yesterdays post) or other strips of papers from smaller pads or even tea or coffee stained papers. I used a 6x6 'we are memories' pad on all about sewing, which I got sometime ago from the Crafty Charity Shop (Which has now sadly had to close!)

Here's Ceri's plan, although I did mine a bit different as I wanted a couple of ATC's to play with... this is what it turned out like after chopping it up!

  Tags, pockets, two atc's, side pockets, journal cards etc.

 I've also been cutting out some labels.They are supposed to be darker than that, but my printer is still having a hooley fit and the colour  is way off. Some of them I've mounted onto card (an ex cat box cover, I like the inside colour) No all of them, as I printed them out on to 250gsm card/paper, by mistake.

These were a download called Vintage Script 'n' Postcards They can be printed out bigger. My first batch were very small and printed out at A5 even though I set it to A4. So this batch I printed them at 120%. I've inked them in Aged Mahogany because they are a bit pinkish already because of my forty printer. (That's not a spelling mistake!)I've also have some of Tracy Fox's labels and Katy Sue's Butterflies. So that should keep me busy! Every one of the 10year anniversay Atc Swap over on Elizabeth and Bluebeard a few weeks back, had at least one butterfly on.

Can you spy the butterflies? I also want to add, that the pockets I made for those  ATC's came from an idea by Ceri The Crafter which you can find here!

I ended up make two, three, four, five and even seven pockets, and adding magnets and velcro dots too. These are sooo easy! Have to go now, I'm off to have coffee and a bun with one of my old doggy friends, Big George!! So, pop over to Stamping Ground and join in! Thank you for stopping by!
