You can get some awesome backgrounds from a blending mat too, Shaz. and even more from the Gelli Plate. By the way, are those black pens to go with all the Thank You stamps you have? Speak to you soon. xx Maggie
It is amazing how guilty we all feel about our lack of tidy. All that childhood drilling of tidy. Hard on us natural untidies. We don't even get a name tag like OCD. You know the tidy's spend as much time tidying as we do " looking for" so what the hell

Looks like your hit pay dirt...boy some really wonderful finds! That's California gold speak for... "You struck gold!" I had to giggle when you showed your yesterday desk. Mine could have been a twin. I made a birthday card and my room was a mess! Thankfully I have 2 working spaces and sometimes that's not enough!
Ooh yeah, am liking the scrap paper too! we aren't near a The works, but those collage style stamps are a bit scarey for me so I prolly wouldn't even have noticed them!! sand I agree...you can't have too many black pens, assorted nibs, all permanent would be best!!
I love the Northern Lights technique - must have a play with that, as well as a visit to The Works! Stop leading me astray LOL!! Have a good week, Chris # 19 xx
Your scrap paper will make an awesome background! In fact, I thought that's just what you'd been making, lol - I didn't realise it was just the paper underneath!!
The Works is such a great shop, there's one in Salisbury. I have to restrain myself when I'm in there :-)
Hugs, LLJ 14 xx
Oooh, that looks fun! I love just playing with colour...
Happy WOYWW!

Great desk with lots of colour, Shaz. I've just visited your other two posts about the amazing Northern Lights technique. Beautiful!
Thanks for your visit and your nice comment. So glad you like my new ARTHaven! I don't always get to photograph so much of it. It's pure heaven to work in!!!!!
As for the kitties, they are little terrors. I used to have one who could smell bacon through 4 layers of polythene, the innermost one being vaccuum packed. And when you think you are safe because they are asleep upstairs, that's the worst time! I'm not surprised yours could smell the cheese from 2 floors up!
I'll get to play with my new sewing machine soon enough. Got to get the mini album done first!
Happy WOYWW,

You can't go wrong with a nice scripty background to a stamp design. Will be back to check out the Northern Lights post later.

Great bargains Shaz, love he stamps funny how we are never getting any more..

Great posts below love the cards you sued metallic with black to highlight the images, beautiful indeedy! Happy WOYWW Shaz in oz.x #40
Bargains, there's a Works in Bath which I used to go into after having hospital at The Mineral hospital! Love what you can get in there. Am just popping in to say hi as no desk from me. Not been too great after going to 2 footy matches in 3 days so desk is empty. Take care Zo xx
After my spending at the NEC, I need to save up again, so I shall miss out on what The Works has to offer. I shall definitely be sticking to Derwent products in future. In my opinion, the Spectrums are nowhere near as good. Thanks for your lovely comments today about my trip away with the caravan. xx Maggie #10
I may have to pay the Works a visit.. ours is very small however, but a treasure trove of "stuff"! Have a good week. Helen 5
I NEED to go to The Works NOW!, wish I'd read this earlier as I would have gone, maybe Friday. Love the Northern Lights too. Thanks for your visit BJ#52
hi i got the same butterfly stamp at my local works last week but looks like you got there early you have some real good bargains there..well done you:-) I had my sis visiting us for Easter she left this afternoon and not into crafts of any sort so not been near craft room since last Thursday..love the messy desk that's a fab range of inks you have there I love the green and blue combinations. I hope you have a great week I will be back next week hugs Andrea x
I love the Works, you can get some great buys, I got some alphabet stamps last month for just over a £1. Great technique on your stampscapes, must give it a go. Thanks for the earlier visit, Donna #26
I've found great stuff at The Works too. We should clearly set up a support group for people who overspend on craft items. My local one has just renovated and moved all that sort of stuff to right near the door. But I had no idea they had markers. Good to know and thanks for the heads up.
Happy WOYWW,

Great new stamps, looking forward to your use of them.

G'day Shaz
and happy WOYWW. Thanks for already dropping by my blog. Yes some bad weather here in my part of Oz indeed...just need the mould and mozzies to settle now LOL. Shaz I am so jealous...such gorgeous stamps and alcohol markers and for so cheap...Oz needs that store to open here! Your scenic cards and the ones where you have done the northern lights tech are gorgeous!
hugs

Hi Shaz and thanks for popping by my desk earlier - Sophie just is truly such a happy girl. Your desk just looks busy like you're enjoying yourself but I tell you the northern lights card is really cool, might have to try that one. And I miffed why we don't have the cool shops you have overseas - I've never seen fabulous cheap stamps like yours and pens... :-( oh well Cheers and have a great week Robyn#18
You have some beautiful stamps on your desk. I'd certainly use them if I were a stamper. And bargains are what all us craters are looking for. You got them, too. Thanks for visiting me earlier. WOYWW wishes from # 9.
I like those stamp images, and I'm loving that Northern Light technique.Thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting #61
I don't know why people worry so much about a messy desk, just think how sad it would be to see one that never got messy lol!
Happy messy crafting, Angela x 48
What great bargains you got! I agree about the loyalty cards. They come and go. Nowadays at least a lot of places will let you use your phone number rather than carry around a card so that is nice. Love the looks of the northern lights card. Even the scrap paper left over from making it is really cool. Pretty colors! Thanks for the visit earlier. I did tidy my desk and that got the mojo going. I did have to sit there and move stuff back and forth for about 30 minutes first though.
Fabulous bargains! I really am loving this Northern Lights technique you are using - as you know I can't comment very well sometimes so hence I'm late again! Good Grief it's nearly Wednesday again! Hugs, Chris 67
Thanks for your visit earlier - Paris is my most favourite city.
I love the Northern Lights effect, one technique I MUST try.
