Yay, it's Wednesday!

Hi everyone, here I am enjoying another Wednesday full of crafty fun!
Today, I'm sharing a view of my desk at that delicious moment when you have a new image stamped (or in this case printed) and ready to colour. No surprises that I'm going to be colouring another sweet little digi by Krista Smith. Seriously, just can't get enough of her images right now!!!
I'm not sure how I'll be using her as yet. I might decorate a notebook that I have lying around, and simply enjoy making something for my own use for a change.
Krista's Challenge Blog is now up and running. The first challenge starts later this week, but in the meantime she's introducing us to her rather fabby new DT. I think in this case DT not only stands for Design Team but also 'Dream Team' as Krista has picked some super talented ladies from across Blogland for her new creative crew!
You can check out Krista's new Blog to meet and greet with the girls.
I'm going to do some virtual visiting now over at WOYWW, but will also do some IRL visiting a little later as it's my Mom's birthday today. I'll share her birthday card later as I know she sometimes visits my Blog.
Happy crafting!

WOYWW!

Oh, the joy of actually having something on my workdesk!
I'm such a happy little soul today. I've got a day off, so can get crafty for the first time in ages. Hurrah!! Here's today's card at an early stage, just before I scored the kraft card with my rather wonderful Hougie Board(a gift from my parent's.) I decided against using the darker blue card just after taking the picture.

You won't be surprised to spot yet another Krista Smith image.
I'm not sure how it took me so long to discover that Krista has an Etsy store. Now I'm 'in the know' I can satisfy my addiction to her gorgeous images with just a few clicks!
This little sweetie is called Kate Krafty. She reminded me so much of my friend's daughter that I had to give her Hannah's gorgeous hair colour. This card will do nicely to congratulate Hannah on passing her 'A' Levels. She'll be leaving soon to take up her place at Swansea University... it'll be mighty quiet without her!
I decided not to reach for the embellishments today, just added some stitching and a few flat back pearls from Quixotic Paperie. Sometimes less is more.
However plain, hopefully this card is still girly enough to fit in over at the One Stop Craft Challenge. And it's 'Anything goes week' at Cute Card Thursday - thanks ladies!
Well, now I'm going to pop over and check out some of the Wednesday fun at Julia's for WOYWW #120.
I just love a crafty Wednesday, don't you????
