Having A Smashing Time

It's 'What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday' and I've got a new stamp file to show you.

It's 8x10 and easily holds the larger sheets of my acrylic stamps.

Literally moments after this photo was taken the whole lot slid gracefully onto the floor with a horrendous smash. The front lip of my new file box sheared off but other than that it was intact.

WOYWW or not I was going to have to tidy! The situation wasn't helped by a large pile of empty boxes waiting to be turned into junk modelling in the Easter holidays. Here's the tidy version.

Still loads of empty cardboard boxes but they will be gone by the end of the holidays.

I managed to smash my pudding bowl yesterday too. Even more of a tragedy as I hadn't had chance to eat my pud first! Do these things come in 3's? What am I going to break next?

I managed to make something else when I was crafting on Monday night. This time for the High Hopes challenge #70 - anything but a card. I haven't entered one of their challenges before but I have some of their stamps, so why not? Here's my bookmark.

Sponged on 2 shades of VersaMagic ink to make the backgrouond. I made the shell decoration by placing accent beads in an old seashell chocolate box and then pouring in PVA glue. It took a while to set but I now have a little seashell collection to play with.

The 3d foam showed through the dried glue so I lined the shell with paper stuck on with glitter glue for an extra sheen.
