Please snoop round as much as you like - no peeping under my table as that is where an even bigger mess is hiding - and then head over to Julia's place to continue round the desks of other WOYWWers.
Lots and lots of stamps this week as I have been working on yet another sample of a WORD book. This one uses heavier card and was a bit of a *****! to cut out. The outside of the letters were OK but I tried to cut the apertures as well - wont be doing that again in a hurry.
It's a very grungy version as I used scrapbook papers and some very, very old pages from a catalogue on the spine edges, so old they were crumbling as I tore them but they look good. I finished stamping the pages but they need a few embellishments (nibs etc) before I bind it.
The big 'M' to the right of the Really Useful box is ready to be decorated for my big sister's birthday next week. So do I paint and stamp, or cover with scrapbook paper (I have some very pretty Graphic 45 put by) - will depend on the time available once I make up my mind and get down to it.
The stamps are just a selection of my 'background and misc' box, words and phrases (in the folder) and various newish one on the right - I just love rubber.
Will share the WORD book when finished.

Oh, what a marvelous job you've done on that book! It looks great already!
I think you should decoupage the "M" with some pretty scrapbooking paper and mod podge. Your sister will love it, I'm sure!
Happy WOYWW and Valentine's. xx

You have such a talent for these!
Wow...the rubber is awesome! It really does stamp beautifully, doesn't it!
The books look wonderful and your stamping great. When you train Sorrel let me share your technique and transfer the learning to a cat situation.
