WOYWW 240
Yesterday I told you it was 55 degrees and raining , not just raining, but pouring! Today it is 5 degrees and we have a wind chill alert. In three days we have seen the temp go up and down 50 degrees! That is unheard of around here! Okay weather reporting done for the day!
Happily today I get to go around the world on a desk to blog hop, staying inside nice where it is nice warm with a cuppa! If you'd like to join in the fun starts at Julia's blog in the UK!
Last week I need to apologize to my fellow hoppers as I was unable to get around to everyone's desk and leave a little love.. to much going on and then we had snow!!! I'll do better this week!
Here's my desk today:
I am participating in a 4 for 4 card swap for Oriental Stamps Arts and the theme is "Pagoda"
I wanted to keep this really simple, I printed a background paper from SherryKdesigns on yellow paper. I'm not sure who makes this pagoda harbor stamp but it is tricky to use. I used rangers 231 solvent ink on Kromekote paper.
A little hard to see as I photo'd them in their plastic bags for the swap. I like this very much as it is simple! The card base is a Strathmore 87# smooth warm white and the printed cardstock is a 65# smooth light yellow, I think it is a Wausau paper. I did a little coloring with Tim Holtz markers, they work great on the Kromokote paper!
I made this card yesterday for my a friend who gave me a wonderful can of real Maple syrup she picked up on a trip to Montreal. If you ever see me with a sign, "will work for food" believe it, I will!
The background paper which looks like a Philip Morris design is a G45 from the couture collection and the image is a digital I made.
Lastly I wanted to show you some of the Christmas gifts that I made and had on my desk for WOYWW#238:
There were three more of these that I forgot to take a picture of, I made 7 altogether.
These are simple journals that I made for two of my younger friends!

The weather here has been wet and sunny but not as cold as you might expect for the time of the year unlike parts of America. It's probably a good reason to stay in and craft. Angela x
