Last week you may have noticed that I was showing off my new acquisition... my ATG gun. It does, however, take up a lot of space and I was saying to Julia that I could so with a sky hook to get it out of the way.... well I found one. I slip the handle through the metal struts of my craft light and it just kinda hangs there!I love it and have found that the adhesive is REALLY sticky. If I don't get the positioning right first time... well I have to start again!
On my glass mat are a few things I was working on yesterday. I use the word 'working' in the loosest sense. I was actually playing around!I bought the Penny Black slapstick flower stamp at the weekend. I think I'll get quite a bit of mileage out of that. The robin was another weekend purchase, and the other bird I bought last week at a craft shop which is relocating soon.
I made the flowers after seeing a tutorial on someone's blog. The deep red one was made with a PDF which I downloaded, but it is coloured, so if ever I want red flowers I'm fine. Does anyone know how to alter a PDF? The others were made with Nellie Snellen punches. You can just see another thing which I bought recently, without which I think I would have found it almost impossible to make the flowers.... My heat glue gun.
There's also part of a rosette flower and a little cover I made for a Post it stack.
DO hop over to Julia's and join in the WOYWW fun. (Link on my sidebar)
Have a Happy Day!
Lots of really lovely WIPs on your desk today Chrissie. The purple flower looks pretty. Look forward to seeing the wonders you work with it all :-)

Chrissie...try taking a screen shop of the open PDF on your screen. Save as a jpg and then take into a manipulation software to change the colours? Might be worth a try?
ReplyDeleteooh, lushness on the desk today hun.. loving that rosette :O))
ReplyDeleteLove the way you've found to store your ATG. I'm sticking to rolls of tape!

Great idea for storing your ATG, I keep mine behind one of my ikea rails the gap between the rail and the wall is just the right size. hugs Pam x
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers and that heat glue gun looks so serious :D Lovely tidy desk. Timi xx
ReplyDeleteChrissie, you are a storage maven. Great way to store that ATG. Got a good laugh, too. Wow, I am in love, love with that bird. I hope to see how you use it.
ReplyDeleteTalk about industrial strength. That new glue gun really takes the cake. Love that card you are making. I have no idea how to change a PDF card if you can't save it as a different type like jpg in your computer. Sorry I'm no help.
oooh working on glass - such a good idea - where did you ge the mat?
ReplyDeleteI really like your flower and your stamp - in fact I love all your ideas! including the lamp light/ATG storage facility,
However, if that was me I'd bash my head on it, knock it flying and in the process stick half a dozen things together unintentionally,
I do want a big yellow toy - but I fear for what I may do with the thing - I'm not sure I'm skilled enough to tame one?
Dx
Great idea for your new toy and I love the flower image.
