WOYWW

I've been a bit busy this week and my desk looks appalling, covered as it is with relocated (ie homeless) stamp sets which used to live in the CD rack I've taken back to my bedroom.  But that's just boring, so without further ado here are some layouts I managed before my workspace was reduced to 4 square inches

I managed to use nearly all of the die-cuts from this collection on my page, even a title which I rarely do - serious stash-busting!

...and here I've used up another fabric tag from LYB which I bought a few years ago; I love them but for some reason haven't found them easy to use.  One left!

 

On this one there are a few of the acetate embellishments that I had left over from the cards last week.  I was really pleased with this page because it used some lovely vintage-patterned papers AND some chipboard AND some scraps. Yay!

Hop over to the esteemed Julia's to see more workspaces worldwide, and happy hopping :D

Beautiful layouts, I love the first one, so bright and fun. You have certainly been busy.
Have a great week and hope you get some space back.

Great layouts, Helen. I'm not a scrapper but it certainly takes heaps of design skills to do your work.
Thank you for your kind words - don't know what they are on about with their policy, except it must be some kind of cheating that I haven't come across. Anyway, I'll just do as I do and play fair the same as with all the other stamps.
Cheers,
Ros.

Hi Helen,
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. Glad you liked the poppy field. I was thinking at the time about my dad who I lost some time ago and how he would never see such a beautiful site again. I have of course been reading your post about your dear brother, I to know the far reaching emotionaland physical heartache there is when losing someone close. I was in tears reading your account of your love and closness to him it was so lovingly written. Know to that we all think of things that we wish we could change. The last time I saw my dad before they gave him a driver and he appeared to be in a type of coma I only spent a very small amount of time with him. My daughther had to do a project for school some silly doll which she didn't want to do and we were ages trying to find the material and all the bits and bobs we needed. It ment it was a quick visit because we had a dentist appointment to go to late that afternoon. I have wished that stupid doll away so many times and in fact we had to throw it away as it brought back the fact that we hardly saw him that day.
Make an album and put in all the happy times you spent together and your happy thoughts about him, funny moments etc and when you are feeling guilty about that time when you snapped at him or having sad memories Look at your happy album.

What great journal pages. My favorite is the last one though - the colors, the stitching, the bunting -- just love it all.

Yesterday was my blog anniversary - candy will be announced soon. As part of the candy I'm offering up something made by me -- so come visit and cast your vote (if you've already been - thank you. I'm trying to visit everyone this week so haven't checked in on my comments lately).

Happy WOYWW

I can really relate to the 4" workspace! Finally gets so small I HAVE to clean it up! One of my summer projects was to try to keep my workspace relatively neat, so my workspace isn't reduced to 4" Love your layouts - especially the red one (first one)!
