My WOYWW desk is relatively tidy this week, cause I am working on doodles and need it to be clear. I do have my ATC binder out – you’ll see why later.
There is a little test sample of doodling in a Nestie there, but I have a new one planned. That’ll be what I am working on today.
I mentioned a day or two ago in the other sample post that I wanted to try my vinyl stencils within the Nestie shapes. Like it was something new. DOH! I am losing my mind, clearly, because remember this? DH’s doodled iPad cover?
Yep. Used a vinyl stencil on it. Talked about it in great length. In 2011. Forgot all about it. It was one of the same stencils I grabbed yesterday and that was the remember-trigger.
I am also planning a word with some letter stamps – I know the stamps will work as well as the stencils would, and either way they need to be hand-cut.
I wanted to showcase the ATCs from the WOYWW 4th anniversary, so here is my official swap from Sandy at Lonelycards (Australia) and it’s just so sweet – hand-painted, don’tcha know?
and one from Annette (also Australia – and mine went to Ros C in Australia) which is totally vintage and lovely.
And here they are in the page protectors, with the rest of the WOYWW ones:
From: Sandy and Annette, then Cardarian, Crafty Gashead Zo, Donna Louise, Helen (H)
From: Kyla, Fairy Thoughts Janet and Shazsilverwolf (and one random one of mine peeking in at the bottom)

Hi Mary-Anne, you really are an accomplished doodler – the cover for your DH’s iPad cover is amazing. Loving all the ATCs I’m seeing today – it’s been an exciting couple of weeks waiting to see what the postie will bring. I have similar page protectors for ATCs, but I think I’m going to have to get a few more before the fifth anniversary. Happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x #78

Loving the Zentangle doodles. I love doing them and made a picture that contains mine & Keagan’s initials. Must use my stencils and dies as templates as that’s a great idea. Love your ATC album. Take care Zo xx 29

Lovely ATCs. Great treasures. Mine’s coming from thousands of miles away, so not arrived yet….trying to wait patiently – not my greatest gift! Have a good week.

Wow, I love that iPad cover! How funky is that? I tried Zentangling, it drove me nuts!! I couldn’t wait to finish each section rather than enjoying the filling in….which rather defeats the purpose of doing it for relaxation! I have zero patience…..sigh….
Hugs, LLJ 41 xx

I just love the idea that one can legitimately be busy ‘doodling’. i cant see the fault in forgetting the two year old ipad cover….I’m shocked that it’s two years!
12/06/2013 at 7:37 am
So glad you received my ATC they where such fun little paintings to do.. Love your Zentangles they are awesome.. Love your Ipad cover and using the stencil inside the circle like that how clever..

What amazing doodling! Your atc’s look fab, I still have mine in an envelope, must remedy that!! (oh and I went stash shopping, just a little, so if you don’t want to visit I will understand!!) Helen, 13

What a wonderful book you’ve got there filled with all those ATC’s and that is one kewl Zentangle you’ve created hugs Nikki #1

Wondering what pens etc. you are using for the zentangle? Finished the tray card today,will get a picture soon. also made a Kennedy word book to go with it. Beverly
12/06/2013 at 7:03 am
Mercy me! You HAVE been busy 🙂 Excited that I have inspired you. I used a mix of pens – mostly Pigma Micron, but also Sharpies, ZIGs, and another odd brand, UNIball, I think. Some of mine are getting a bit dry and colouring n patchy, so I need a few more if I am going to carry on with this!
Hope I’ll get to see your card and your book…..

What great ATCs. I’ve just started playing with them after wondering what the hype has been about. 😉 Lovely iPad cover!
