WOYWW #357

I believe I've commented already about how fast this year is going, but we realised yesterday that in 3 weeks time we will be on board the Thompson Majesty, setting sail for our 7 days around Portugal/Gibraltar & Spain. But, for now, back to the crafting. My desk this week then, for all of you joining in from Our Julias, over at The Stamping Ground.

For the first part of my show & tell, some new Lavinia Stamps, ones that she launched at the NEC a couple of weeks ago. I'd been impatiently waiting for her to have them up on the site ever since. Those fluffy cats and mice are so cool, and I know Jan will be loving the fluffy hares.




Also on my desk, and this cost me £3 on E-bay! I only have one small butterfly punch, and had wanted a bit more variety for a while, but the problem with punches is the smaller the punch, the less it can punch through, which can limit your options a bit.

This was the perfect answer though, as there are huge number of different shapes and sizes of butterfly on it.
And so, cutting out some butterflies kept me happily occupied for a couple of hours, so I could have a tubful handy. I wanted some more for the Sweet Poppy Butterfly Tree stencils I've got done.
Butterflies of all sorts and colours, cut from glitter paper and coloured vellums.
 By the way, in the post below this one, I did a quick how-to on the plastic canvas drawer dividers, with a link to the lady's blog the idea came from, and to the plastic canvas on Amazon. Well, have a lovely Wednesday everyone, I'll catch up with you in a while.
 For anyone interested, there will be some more Sweet Poppy stencils Christmas cards, and a few Birthday cards later in the week.
