WOYWW Week 910 - Lest We Forget

Hello Everyone

Pip Art Creations

As always, I remember all those in my family who served in the forces, went to war, and especially those that lost their lives in WW11. Never forgotten.

It's been a sad time for me and for so many of us, especially recently with the loss of Sarah. I'm just thankful for the memories. 

Here's the desk as it is this morning.

There's a page waiting completion, two sets of nesting dies, the mug of ink brushes with ink pads, and a pack of stencils all recently used and waiting to be put back where they came from. The photo is of my late mother cuddling her first great-grandchild. The embroidered sewing bag was made by my son when he was at primary school. That makes it over 40 years old! It's there because I needed a fine needle to unblock the bottle of liquid glue used to stick things like old title letters and enamel dots that have lost their stickiness. 

It's been so long since I used any stencils to create a background that I'm out of practice but I did manage to create a couple this last week. Here's the two pages made with them. 

It's said that practice makes perfect but I still have a way to go before I get to that stage. I'm on a mission to use up as many scraps leftover from Shimelle's Clear the Desk Live classes as possible. These pages are the most recent attempts. 

There's no stencilling on the next page I put together.

A few more scraps went into this one. I've used punches and dies to create embellishments for the clusters and there's a few Scrap-a-Sketch printables included too. 

I have a couple of shots taken while waiting for the bus yesterday morning.

It was misty and extremely cold - only 4C degrees - but the sun was doing it's best to break through. The bus, when it arrived, took me to Irvine to the place where I'm currently a volunteer. 

Finally for today, the pic of Silver.

Doesn't she look cosy. 

That's me for this week, a bit late but I got here eventually. As usual, if you don't already do so, I urge you to join in with WOYWW. You can do this by clicking on this link, Stamping Ground, where you will be made most welcome.

Take care and have a fabulous week.
