Soccer Pop Up, House Mouse, Quilting Cards + WOYWW + Snippets, IDEAS

 Well, it's time for WOYWW or What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday, pop over to Sarah's at Sarah's Craft Shed, Head Desker of WOYWW!  here is my latest desk as I'm working on a 1st birthday 🎂 card!

I was told to use BRIGHT colours so that's what I'm doing with an old set of SU papers. The house mouse image is done in alcohol markers then added glossy accents. The colours were best match to the papers. The image was die cut outside the image, to see how to do this see this post here and here! Finished card is last card shared.

This card below was made using this video as a template, however if you’re wanting specific measure and guide video it’s very difficult, it’s a six minute card video AND to make it did not take anywhere near six minutes!

The outside front of card from web, image above this is inside.

Basically I followed a rough idea then did my own template. My colours weren't quite the same and my white gelly roll pen didn’t work like hers did,  so did thicker lines! Despite all hiccoughs, it met the need of a soccer or football card for mister 12. If anyone saw my desk two weeks ago they'll see this card underwent a great change from original thoughts! 

This next card is received by my friend she loves purple. the Folder (Cuttlebug Plus, with white chalk ink highlights) and stamp set  are both disc. years ago, stamp set is Chocolate Baroque.

Here's a couple of birthday cards as done with quilt die see back here, it makes 3 cards which is quite handy. The washi paper bought in Japan by my sister last Nov is really great with this design. Love them all. This CCD die was unused for years till I came across a video using a different quilting die but not as nice a one as this one. 

They're made using a CCD happy birthday die and on second card a SB labels shadowed in matt gold used on cards and the washi paper.  

Here's Chester's 1st birthday card. Phew! I think it meets the criteria of bright colours, also used glossy accents on various images. Stamps are all from House Mouse balloon set.

To Aussie photos. I'm not walking or doing much exercise at moment as I've a lower leg skin infection. Since I'm on high cortisone it may take possibly months to heal. All prayers welcome.😊

These photos were taken on a walk shortly before my lower leg infection, the close up shows a clever surfer catching a wave. 

Thanks so very much for popping over for a peek and a chat, prayer hugs 🙏🏻🤗  Shaz in Oz.x 

Thought of the Day

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

This is a favourite verse of mine. In troubles and stresses we really need a refuge, and the strength to carry us through that trouble... our God indeed is a very PRESENT HELP in trouble.

 I often say to my friends where would I be without Jesus?... without Jesus, I'd be lost, I'd not have the promise of a home in heaven and I wouldn't have His wonderful present help in my troubles. Leg infections might seem small, but small things may impinge in a big way on day to day living. I couldn't believe how quickly it flared up. But I have my Jesus as my Saviour from sin... and as my very PRESENT HELP in this AND every trouble. Praying that you do also. May God be with you in ALL your burdens. 🙏🏻❤️
