Yet another hot Wednesday WOYWW

Hi everyone,
Our summer is continuing to drag on with temperatures in the mid to high 30s (Celsius) [95 - 104], which aren't out of the ordinary, but the humidity sure is. Anyway, enough whining!

I had a very productive Saturday in which I managed to create 3 pages for this month's Vintage Fat Book, 9 backgrounds for this month's Paperarts ATC swap "Tissue Paper" technique as well as creating a card for my Secret Stamper buddy.

So here is what my workspace looks a bit like this...similar to last week, just with this week's resources.



This month's Vintage Fat Book page theme is "Women in Literature"...so after a bit of thought I decided on Agatha Christie.  So, this is what I eventually came up with.


Agatha

I also had to get a start on 9 ATCs for the Paperarts Feb monthly swap.  This month's theme is based on a technique..."Tissue Paper Backgrounds".  So I decided to make my own tissue paper backgrounds using a variety of products; from alcohol inks to home made glimmer mists. I went on to select a focal image, but that was as far as I got...the witty wording/catch phrase hasn't inspired me yet...I have a few days left before I have to have them completed. It will be this Saturday's job.  Here are the ATC backgrounds I finally came up with.


Well, that's enough for this week I guess. Must go and check out Julia's blog "Stamping Ground" and have a look at other people's work spaces.  Perhaps you should check it out too.  Click on the link above.

Until next time.

;D

    I don't envy you that heat, but I do like what you have made....Agatha Christie lived for a while in a place close to me, a town called Wallingford.... very nice place to live!

    Hi Alessandra, The Agatha Christie page is looking good and the ATC background looks promising. I've been making the odd bit of homemade glimmermist lately too.

    The Agatha Christie page looks GREAT. She'd approve, I'm sure. As for the summer -- please send some of that heat my way! My backyard will have snow until March/April/May because it faces north.

    The beginnings of your ATCs look fab.

    Happy WOYWW

    I really like those ATC backgrounds. So colorful and fun. I'm sure they will all come together in time. Your summer days sound like what I went thru six months ago. I can relate to your temps AND your humidity! Thanks for dropping by already.
