It's wednesday and time for the blog hop (snoop) of the week at Julia's WOYWW. Well what have I been up to this week then? I have finally cracked the Christmas card making and made 33 from last year's Papermania Enchanted Christmas kit (must have bought it in the January sales methinks). They still need finishing off which is why they are still on my desk. A few more here Day#22.There's my journal with a remake of my November Timmy Tag as the theme was dreams and it just worked for that. Here's a close up Day#26. I have made a couple of ATCs to try out techniques too.
Also the beginnings of my Altered Book Cover. I had some good comments last week saying the design was OK so I went ahead and stuck the pieces on, slapped on some texture paste and primed it with grey acrylic. Might take a while to finish, but I'll keep you all updated as I go.Oh and the pink thing is a piece of rubber I chopped up and carved with a craft knife to make my own stamp which I used in my journal on Day#25. It worked pretty well so I have made a Christmas reques for some lino cutters and lino sheets to have more of a go at making some stamps, mainly backgrounds so nothing too fancy.

Wow 33 cards - I am impressed! I still havent made one yet, love your journal cover too - I will be back to have a peek at them all soon. Thanks for sharing - Sunshine Girl #25
I think (think!) I have finished all the cards I need to make too, a few need the inside greeting stamping. Love your desk today, it looks very productive and I shall watch the book cover with interest. helen, 8
Well done on making such a dent in the Christmas card making - those magazine kits make life a lot easier, don't they.
Have a great week.

I gave up on making cards this year for overseas so snuck off to the shops. To be fair, I find it frustrating sending cards overseas as fairly regularly they don't reach their destination ! You've definitely been busy though.

Hi BJ - Love your Tim Tag - the background is definitely dreamy. You reminded me I haven't done mine this month - can't fall at the last hurdle - better get a wiggle on! Happy WOYWWW to you from Helen 37
Wow! That's a lot of cards, well done you!
Carving your own stamps sounds fun... don't think I'm adventurous enough though!
Happy Wednesday
