Nothing much crafty to see here for WOYWW.....just a lot of mess on top of mess I'm afraid!!
My excuse....if I really need one is the time taken up with DH trips to both doctors surgery for blood test (3 times in 7days) and hospital for scans as he can't make it on his own...off to the hospital again later today to see consultant.......It's a good job I have an understanding boss :)
Anyways the bits of paper stamped in Shabby Shutters on the cutting mat are background paper trials I'm practising with.....seeing the green colour (spooky coincidence) reminds me
...........Happy St. Patrick's day!
I find it really necessary to use a stamp positioner when using rubber stamps for this.....it's the only way to be sure it's lining up right :)....not that these samples are.....so don't look too close!
.......I love those polymer Papertrey background element stamps which make it much easier to line up but I can't bring myself to pay the extortionate cost of the P&P they charge from America to get some!!! Also some of the sets, to me, don't seem that competitively priced but hey I'd still like one or two!!! LOL
Do you want to see my stamp positioner? Are you ready for a laugh?
.....what do you think? Bit of a Heath Robinson affair eh? But it does the job!

Your stamp positioner is almost a carbon copy of mine - Mr D made a load for us to use in workshops and I've never bothered to get more spohisticated - if it ain't broke..
ReplyDeleteThe backgrounds look interesting...hope you find some time to finish up - remember to show them off to us!
I think your Stamp Positioner is FAB..and I neeed one...will have to get Grim to make me one LOL Good luck for OH at the docs etc hun xx
ReplyDeleteIf only I knew what to do with a stamp positioner! Ha. Your backgrounds look fab and your desk is tidier than mine is ever likely to be. Hope it all went ok at the docs x
ReplyDeletegreat stamp positioner - welldone.
ReplyDeleteenjoy your background experiments
Ha, ha love that stamp positioner - I was looking at them in a shop the other day and I thought - I have some old wood laying around couldn't I make one myself??? I really like yours! Great!

I am impressed ... I have a proper stamp positioner and have never really been able to work out how to use it :0)
ReplyDeleteLove that stamp positioner!
ReplyDeleteooh that stamp positioner is cool!! i love it - and might need one. have a great day xxx
ReplyDeleteyour stamp thingy is a great idea, better than mine which I made out of thick card, and was rubbish! I was wondering, last week too I think, when are you going to give Mr Artyjen's his shaving brush back??
ReplyDeleteI haven't invested in a stamp positioner yet, but if I do it'll be of the home made variety too. Love the background stamps, and I live in America and I think Papertrey is over priced! Beautiful, but over priced!

I don't have a stamp positioner either but am thinking I need DH to make me one soon.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well at the hospital xx
Great idea for a stamp positioner. I'd love to know would you recomend the shaving brush thingy. I keep looking at them & wondering whether to give one a go?
ReplyDeleteHope DH gets sorted soon.xx Take care, you sound really busy. Love to see what you have planned for the backgrounds? Hugs, Gez.xx
love your backgrounds you've made - i bet they'd look fab in two tones too. Stamp positioner - are people that precise - I'm a suck it and see kind of person but then again i'm not a big stamper so what do i know (LOL)!!!
ReplyDeleteHope your OH gets sorted soon - must be a trying time for you at the mo.
Hugs

Had a lovely nosey at your desk - lots to see here! Your stamp positioner made me laugh - but hey, if it works whats the problem??
ReplyDeleteLove the positioner ... what do you use the shaving brush for ???
ReplyDeleteOpps I think you've started something I need a stamp positioner too. But i'll have to do it myself as OH isn't very good at that stuff!!! Hugs Pam x
ReplyDeleteGreat stamp positioner! I do everything by eye, then wonder why it's wonky! Lol! Look forward to seeing what you make with your backgrounds x
ReplyDeletewell done with the stamp positioner - I bought the SU one at considerable expense and now everyone is coming out of the woodwork with how to do it yourself! - still must be the only person who still can't get perfect images consistently even with the positioner!
ReplyDeleteLinbyx
Fab stamp positioner - it's better than mine - oh yes, I don't have one, that's why I do wonky stuff!!
ReplyDeleteLove all your bottles of reinkers xx
I keep thinking to get a stamp-a-m-gig from SU as I have some double stamps if you know what I meen and when they are wood you so need a positioner of some sort i will see if hubby will make me one lol.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well for the OH and you have my prayers at this mad busy & stressful time
Love Dawn xx
desk :) love the positioner, have a similar one floating around somewhere in a box :)
ReplyDeleteHope you manage to find time to finish your interesting backgrounds.I know things are tough so sending a BIG HUG for you xx
ReplyDeleteLove your mess and your stamp positioner, reminds me when my OH made me a "Step" for step aerobics out of a piece of kitchen worksurface and some block of wood!
