WOYWW

Happy hump day so that means we bare our desks thanks to the lovely Queen of desks Julia (here)  On my desk this week are a few cards I have just finished.  Not particularly intricate more of a case of trying to use up my stash!  In the background is my ATG tape refill, its NOT in my ATG gun as for some reason neither of my refills will go in there properly!! Very frustrating as been using them for years but for some reason both of these wont have sticky side showing but just the brown bit!  Tried turning it round etc, watching videos-all to no avail so decided to just use them as double sided tape and wind it off the spool when needed!  Life is too short.


Forgot to do my "man bites dog" cards this week as its dark and my camera and computer are playing up so just grabbed a shot Tuesday evening before loosing my temper with them both!  Talking of loosing my temper must be time to get my sewing machine out as not made any small bits for Christmas yet!

Happy crafting

  1. How annoying when the ATG guns don't do what you want them too. I gave up using mine a while ago in favour of Honey Doo glue. Maybe I should try them again.

  2. Always rewarding to use up our stash but not so when our go to tools don't do the job they should. I agree life is too short!! Happy WoywW Tracey #5

  3. Stash busting is always good - I've done really well recently and had to buy a bit more fabric..oh dear, what a shame..... ;-). Hope you didn't resort to hurling the ATG out of the window......

  4. Morning Kyla. Frustrating when things don't work as they should - good for you to find an alternative before the temper ran out!! Great cards on your desk this morning. Will look forward to the "small things" with your sewing machine.
    Take care. God bless.

  5. I only use my ATG gun for gluing flaps on boxes I make. Everything else, I use glue. It is just so much easier to use the glue. Happy WOYWW

  7. Blimey, I’m distressed by your ATG gun, they have a bad reputation because of size etc, but I love mine and they are so convenient! Hope its just jolly bad luck with these two reels. I will report in when I next order more! Good girl on using up bits and pieces, I’m on a bit of a mission to do the same this year, some of my colour choices will be questionable!

  8. I hate it when things don't work correctly it's so annoying. I think it must be time to use up some old craft stash or let it go. Wishing you a lovely creative week and a happy woyww x16x

  9. Hi Kyla, loving the cards. Totally agree about the tape, must be faulty, but at least they can be used, if not the way intended.Technology is wonderful when it works, lol. Feeling a little better again today, slow but sure improvement. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz#2 X

  10. Annoying when things don't work the way intended Kyla. At least the tape can be used as double sided outside the holder. Happy belated WOYWW. Sarah #1

  11. I entirely get the 'life's too short' vibe. Becoming my mantra lately!! Those manga papers look fun. I had to make a card for a 16 year old the other week with a bike on and was incredibly pleased to be able to use the toppr I had been holding on to for at least ten years - makes you good, but sadly I fear a mere drop in the stash ocean!
