Here's the desk. I watched a quick video from Sam Calcott and tried out this card. Of course I didn't watch the 10 min video the whole way through so mine ended up going together in a different way because I missed a key instruction. I also managed to miscut the final mat to discover that I had no more of that paper so had to improvise again. But it's essentially an easy make, I like it despite the improvs, it folds flat and turned out quite a mantlepleaser. I might make one for my 'cardmaking' friend who only likes side fold cards. Revenge is sweet.
Work on The Big Project goes on. I have a week left to finish - will I manage to do it in time? The Jury's still out on that one.
(Speaking of juries, if anyone has a chance to catch a NT screening of Prima Facie with Jodie Comer I can highly recommend it. I thought it was very good (a bit gritty at times) and tbh I suspect it has the edge on a stage production simply because you get such a good view!!)
Anyhoo here it is on my desk. It's looking a little more under control now but I have had to give up on some of my mat and layering ideas because it bulks the book up too much. I have to say there have been a few teary moments looking back at all these photos. What a silly old numpty I am.
So, why am I showing you my desk? Well it's our weekly Wednesday Blog Hop - WOYWW. Here's the link to the one responsible, the lovely Julia at Stamping Ground - pop on over and join in, see what it's all about and have a go yourself.
Stay cool, stay dry, love n hugs Cindyxx

Loving the scrapbook-y progress. And that card is truly fab. Here's my tip for YT vids - increase the speed. I watchi them at about 2x if I just need the general info visually and probably 1.5x if I want to mostly catch all the info. Seems so many people speak very slowly or slow down the action to get the video to the best length. Sometimes, I swear (especially with music only cooking videos) the 2x speed look like it is almost in real time! If I need to, I watch it once fast, for the overview, then again slower or just a part of it to get the details. I suppose since the vast majority of my YT watching is on the treadmill, 2x speed is just what I need ... Enough of that.Just left to say
Happy much cooler WOYWW

Fab work on the project ! Not surprised you got teary ! Enjoy the cooler weather x Helen #2
Hi Cindy. I understate teariness, great job, full of “remember when”. I am not very good at watching videos either. I prefer step by step instructions. Happy WOYWW. Angela #5
Jodie Cromer - sounds good, but cannot find any way of watching it.
Love the card you made, Sam is one of my favourite YT video people and I make lots of her cards when doing something for the club. Love kinetic and she does lots of them so just right for me. The last workshop went like a bomb despite no stamping! Lots of design paper, but it was the mechanism i wanted to get them to learn).
Aren't all mums a bit on the soft side when it comes to their kids? I am.
Hugs, Neet 3 xx
Hi Cindy, I'm with you it's just been too hot for me but better today now it's cooled down. It absolutely poured it down here last night. Loving the card, really pretty. I can understand the teary moments, so many memories. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x9x
Good morning, Cindy.
Love the scrapbook layouts.... especially the 'flower child' photos. I always wanted to be a flower child. hehe
Hugs & Creative Blessings! ~Kelly #15
