Our host Julia of the Stamping Ground has an excellent tip for making sure Glossy Accents work every time - just in time for me as I plan on using lots over the next few days!
I don't manage to get here very often and there's not a great deal to see on my desk at the moment.
I do still have the regulation 12 x 12 space to work in...
If you want to have a little look around you will see that the shrink plastic is out too...ooer missus!
I'm still slightly swamped with glue pots too!
Hoping to have more time to visit this week!
Thanks for looking, Chris

Hi Chris. How lovely to see you here today. Oh my - shrink plastic - you are going to have SO much fun!!! And using up all your older papers too... I am impressed.
Trust you and hubby are well. Goodness. Doesn't it seem a long time since we met up at one of the Manchester shows!
Take care. God bless.

Hi Chris, I'm with you on using up papers but I haven't made a very good job of it yet. I so love shrinked plastic, what fun. Have a lovely week and a very happy woyww, Angela x18x
I love shrink plastic, but haven't played with it in years - have fun! Happy WOYWW. Take care and stay safe. With love & God Bless, Caro x (#12)
it's always good to see your desk pop up on a Wednesday, Chris! I have a hate/hate relationship with shrink plastic - I get very annoyed with it! have a good week Helen #3
I’ve never worked with shrink plastic ever so it’ll be interesting to see what you do with it! Well done for using up your stash, it’s a good thing to do, I know it makes me feel better!

I like the look of that layout! I'm trying to use up some older stuff too so it's lovely to see other people doing the same. Stay safe and keep smiling, Lisa-Jane #8
Got to find out about that idea for glossy accents! I stopped buying it a long time ago because after a couple of uses it had set hard and I had to throw the bottle away! - Pam
looks like you have a lot planned, have fun, hugs, Valerie
Great to see you Chris. Look forward to seeing what you get up to with the glossy accents. Love the papers you are working with. Stay safe. Sarah #6
Hi Chris,lovely to see you, shrink plastic is something I have not tried yet, but I believe you can make all sorts of embellishments with it. Have a great week Angela #17
Makes me so curious to see your latest creations! :)
Looks like your ready to play! Enjoy your week ~ Love, Karen #29
Fun to see your work desk Chris. You and I have the same style of leaving withing easy reach supplies we (might) need. Hugs-Erika
I´ve never heard of shrink plastic - hope for a tutorial or such :-)
You have some pretty papers on your desk! Using up papers is one of my goals this year too, I wonder why we buy them and never use them ...lol 😉. Wishing you a happy Friday and weekend! Hugs, Jo x
Lovely papers and Glossy Accsents!? Every bottle I've ever bought over the years...not many bottles come to think of it, but, anyway, every bottle has gone gluppy and unuseable, I've never emptied a bottle once! Wasn't Oliver Cromwell the one who stopped Christmas!? love the pictures of the deer! Stay Safe! Keep crafting. Happy LATE WOYWW ((Lyn)) #19
Hi Chris, well, people always compliment me on papering/decorating all the surfaces of my cards and honestly it's to try to use up my paper! Which I'll never do but at least I make some kind of dent. Gluepots galore? I'd guess you can't find one that lacks something wrong with it. I have so many brands and none of them are a go-to for me except one they don't make anymore: KI Memories Glu (which I swear is what Glossy Accents is but the Glu bottle doesn't clog). I'm not even going to think about shrink plastic, never got into it and hopefully never will. Have a good one, xoxo
Well done with your plans for your papers, Chris. When Mum died I made an album about her life and decided to use up a lot of old papers I had, which I really disliked - I'd bought them in a rash moment when I first started. I added loads of inks to them and changed them, and ended up liking them a lot! I've also done a bit with shrink plastic which I love, but haven't touched that for a number of years. Once I get back in the studio, after I've finished my various yarn-based projects, I shall have fun getting those things out again and having a great time playing.
Happy belated WOYWW,

Hello Chris, nice to see you! 12 x 12 - I thought the regulation size was 6" x 6". I made some cards the other day and I used scraps inside and on the envelope, and I lined the envelope. Anything to use up this huge stash!! At least I don't feel compelled to buy as much paper these days. Now I wonder what you aer up to with shrink plastic? Haven't had mine out in ages!! Good luck with those projects! Happy belated WOYWW Cindy #22
We probably all need to use up some paper! Love the papers you have showing. Very cool desk - it would inspire me to create for sure!!! Hugz
