Good Morning peeps and oh boy what a week since last woyww.Im not sure about your part of the country but we have only had 2 summer days Friday and yesterday.The rest well seems someone up above keeps turning the tap on frequently...lol heavy at that!Gosh another Wednesday has arrived to cheer us all up thats when we get to snoop around the worlds craft desks.With permission.Thanks to the boss our Julia and her fab idea over at the stamping ground.
So if youd like to join in with this amazing wednesday WOYWW pop by her blog and join in the fun.Great inspirations to be had along the way.
Well i still have my tooth yes it was surpose to be pulled on monday ...Nope didnt happen another 5 days of these awrful anti-biotics and back friday to get pulled!
In the mean time i have done awee bit of crafting.My desk today is just one huge mess yep absolutely a dump!...lol
So in stead as im very embarrassed at the state of my room .I am going to show you just acouple of bits ive been upto.
The first is an altered match box this is the first time ive done one this small usually use the big kichen size boxes.
Here ive distressed the box using my inks and have added a altered domino that has then been glazed with distressed crackle glaze to give that lovely effect.I have then coloured a plain white prima flower with matching distress inks.Glazed the flower once the inks where dry .Added Tim Holtz ideology flower ,and flatbacked pearl to the centre and small string of wee pearls hanging down.I then made a lovely wee pin to add bit extra lush to the flower.The ribbon ive dyed using various distress inks to co-ordinatew with the colours and shades of the box
Along the side ive stamped a Prima fringe in Black archival ink and then added gem stones to the fringe of the stamped image .I have done this both sides.
Im pleased with the result as this is first time ive altered something so small..lol.
I have also been busy creating tags for a swap im in in August yes bit head of myself.But due to going up to dads as mum is 80 on 9th August i thought id plan ahead so ive no rushing back to deadlines.This tag below i must say has to be a fav i love the waythis has turned out.You can see all the deets in post below.
Well thats it from me hopefully by next week my desk wil. be a desk.

Love the Monkey! LOL! 2 days of summer...we have had 78 minutes. I think Alaska is warmer than us at this point! Love all the projects. The matchbox turned out absolutely FABULOUS! Thanks for popping by my blog! -Amanda #45
I love both of your pieces ...I think a kitchen match box would be small enough for me lol
I agree about the weather... if its not actually raining it looks as though its about to so you still dont go out incase.
It is nice to see your lovely pieces this week. Hope your toothie peg is sorted and your mouth is better very soon xx
How precious! Sometimes working n a tiny canvas is fun. Your small matchbox looks lovely. I adore the tag too, it's stunning.
Have a good one

boo hoo, I hate my teeth at the mo, you definately have my sympathy right back! I am now going to have 2 out next week one one Wed and now my wisdom tooth on Friday; today they gave me extra strength anti biotics. Good luck!

Great job on the altered match box Jude, awesome. Super tag too! I think all the rain you are getting came from us. We must have had almost a straight month of it, so glad it's gone. Now we are so dry and under an extreme heat alert. a least 37 degress today. We keep loosing our hydro too, very frustrating! Have an awesome day and good luck with that darn tooth!
love the colours on the box, and the bling!! hope the weather gets sunny for us all! xx
Ah Jude dont show you the messy bits of my crafting space and hey when a girls creates that is the way we go!
Pray all goes well (or as well as it can!) for the tooth extraction.
Sorry am running late this week again! thanks for popping over and happy WOYWW. Shaz in Oz.x
ouch, you're the second one i've visited with tooth problems. hope you'll be better soon. i love your dress form tag! so lovely!
stunning creations.

I had a cracked tooth a few months back, and the filling fell out twice since! My dentist has changed the shape of the tooth now, so of course Mr tongue keeps touching it! Hope yours is much better now! Love your matchbox, did pop in before and ask what size do you use? a little one or the family sized one..But blogger was being a pain and I wasn't sure if the comment just disappeared or if it did go...love your 'sew nice' too!
