WOYWW #628

 Drafted 15/06 - now 17/06 - completely missed Wednesday all together - time flies doesn't it...

Its WOYWWer's time again... 
If you want to know more pop on over to Julia Dunnit's Stamping Ground  and check it out! 

Lots of piccies today.  The last time you were here I had a couple of card "blanks" on my desk:

I ended up using the die cut as a stencil

Then using my Derwent watercolours I did the butterfly - but it was way too pale so I ended up going over it with Chameleon fineliners

I am entering my card into the NBUS Challenge #27 as neither die has been used before

I am also entering into Pixie's Snippet Playground - Challenge #405 Ruby's Memory 

as the butterfly was a plain white snippet

The other card finished up as:

This was my Tuesday 

- I am now going through all the symptomatic side effects of headaches, snotty nose, sneezing and feeling like my arm is being punched everytime I move it - but it's all good in the end Next jab is in September

This was my Wednesday

While I was in work at the office (I now have to go in every Wednesday - another reason for late posting 😀) my wonderful partner - Gary - received delivery of the flat pack kitchen at Eliza's House and put all the cabinets together - then fitted the oven side of the kitchen:

From This

To This

He will finish off over the next week - then painters are in - finish off the electrics and the tilers will be in to do the whole house. Very exctiting to watch the progress - and yes I have lots of photos which I will put up in a separate post. We are hoping Eliza will be in the first half of July sometime 😎

Also received lots of post when we arrived home: 

Gary ordered nuts and bolts from Wish and this is what he received - LOL I really don't know what he expected for $3 - but will do my specs when they come apart LOL - or maybe a male shaker card

The new Stampin Up Catalogue - I like to highlight what I already have, what I like, what I want and what I must have... then keep an eye out for the sales and pounce

I also decided to get another normal size Big Shot - 

My old one is almost 15 years old - and yes it still works - the new one is a back up

I purchased the A4 size about 6 months ago - but it hasn't really been used yet 

 my sister uses hers for embossing folders only as the plates are so expensive to replace 

so this might be the way to go 

Finally - Randomly Using Dies - for the next week. These were all from wish - the long die I have used on the cream card - didnt fully cut at one end but thats cos my old Big Shot plates need to be refreshed. I do find however if this happens I just end up putting my sentiment label or embellishments over that area... we will see the results next week - I hope!

Stay safe & well all

I will try and get around to everyone again over the weekend - If I don't it won't be from a lack of trying

Cheers
