Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday 51
After seeing Debby's (boy has she got some stash!) entry to WOYWW last week I thought I would give it a go this week
As you can see this is my desk all clean and tidy for once!
I have been using transfer paper to iron one of my stamp designs on to a T shirt for my little grandaughter Mimi.........only I forgot to flip it so the image is the wrong way round!
Another view of my craft room
My beloved computer and graphic tablet
This is where I sit and draw my stamp designs......sometimes in the early hours if I can't sleep!
Well that is my entry to WOYWW

Sneak Peek & Mimi's T Shirt!
I have been dying to have a go at this iron on transfer paper for ages but wasn't sure how good it would turn out!
So today I bit the bullet and printed this T Shirt for my little grandaughter Mimi using one of my new polymer stamp designs 'Princess Kaya'. This and some other new stamps will be going on sale soon
Mimi is just 3 years old and loves anything pink and girly so I think she will love this
Mind you maybe I should have coloured the frog pink
Her daddy took her to the pet shop the other day for a goldfish but she insisted she wanted a pink one and would not have a gold one. She also wanted a pink tank, with pink sand and pink water........and what did she want to call it..........yes you guessed it lol!

Cheeky Monkey!
Just a quickie from me today using my 'Peekaboo Marvin' digi
Busy with new stamp designs at the moment and the old tummy is playing up so didn't spend as much time on this card as I would usualy do. The result is a very clean card....... not an inked edge in site.......not sure I like it as much though lol!
Anyway I loved water colouring Marvin in with my distress inks......he is so cute!
the distress inks used are Tim Holtz :-
Worn Lipstick (cheeks & butterfly)
Leaves
Shabby Shutters
Crushed Olive
Painted ouside the image with Weathered Wood
If you would like to see 'Peekaboo Marvin' released as a polymer stamp too then please leave a comment here.
If there is a demand for him then we will submit the design when we order our next batch of polymer stamps
