T on Tuesday

Actually having some craftiness to share helps when you do T on Tuesday!  I joined a swap with Elizabeth and some other lovely ladies to swap tip-ins each month for 6 months.  I completed and sent off mine for this month and the lovely Chris has received them so I can share them today.  I got them out a bit early because tomorrow I go to hospital to try and sort my right wrist out and I am not sure how much use I will get out of it for a couple of weeks. Chris' theme was anything to do with the garden but no frogs....
Feathered friends with the bird cage die from Tim Holtz and a tattered floral die cut paper flower with three paper feathers which were fun to make.
Close up of the feathers which are double sided and have wire through them.
Lots of flowers and gems for Mary Mary quite contrary!
That little girl going 'oops' makes me smile...
Dandelion wishes and dragonfly kisses.  A woodn dragonfly from pink paislee and I made the dandelion flower out of plastic coloured beads.

March winds, April showers, brings forth May flowers.  Tim Holtz brolly man with lots of flowers.
raining little flowers on brolly man...

Winged things of the garden.... I copied the paper with butterflies on and then sat and fussy cut them all out with cuticle scissors... inked them and added them over the original printed versions to make them more dimensional.
Glossy accents to make the bodies stand out.
I bed your pardon, I didn't promise you a rose garden.... (are you singing?) My favourite bird cage die cut and the tattered florals all cut from printed papers.  Lots of washi tape and ephemera and some lace to finish it off.

So I am sitting here drinking my green smoothie for breakfast and planning to come by and visit!

What's On Your Work Desk Wednesday - 31st August 2011

I just typed the date... and realised that the year is 3/4 over!!  How did that happen... I was going to do so many things this year and the time is running out!! Last week I missed WOYWW because we were away in Niagara Falls, had a lovely time with my son and have heaps of photos... but I will make that a post for tomorrow.
well, OK... here's one for a laugh... I mean to say... why did the photographer want us to put our hands in the air like that??  What twit wouldn't be hanging on for grim death to that barrel if it was going over the falls??
Anyways... you aren't here for my rabbiting... I had better show my workdesk... which is a bit of a mess as I am still working on the tip in pages for the swap...
The tip in is supposed to represent the sun and moon... but said I am waiting (very impatiently) for said sun and moon to dry because I have coated them with texture paste...
and if I swing left and behind me this is the mess I have made... 
and this is my desk corner...and the piles on the floor next to my desk are all the bits I brought back from Niagara and will hopefully turn into a mini book!!
Don't forget to pop over to our fairest of desk inspectors, Julia, for the complete linky list of desks to snoop into.... you really never know what you are going to find from one week to the next!!

More Tip Ins...

As the deadline for these gets closer my panic to complete gets worse... and though a deadline is a great motivator it doesn't always mean that the execution of the work is what you would hope for!!
This dragonfly jane's page on graveyards/cemeteries.... it didn't turn out very cheerful and bright... might be because I had a skull looking up at me from my desk...
This is Tinkerhamilton's Apothecary Shop/vintage beauty.
I'm at the halfway mark.... yippppeeeeee!

Tip In Swap Pages

I joined a swap on UK Scrappers for tip in pages and the deadline is now looming... and my mojo is still travelling around the Badlands of Alberta, hiding amongst the hoodoos. Darned mojo is never around when you want him...
Alice in Wonderland page for Weaselwise
Peter Pan page for bettybadger
Another Peter Pan page (because like an idiot I signed up for two groups) for Nicci24lego
With book mark lifted out of the way of the words.
Steampunk page for Mistyrat
OK... back to the desk... just a few more make.... well, maybe a few more than 'few'....
