WOYWW 191

Whoop whoop it’s Wednesday and time to share my desk with all the lovely snoopers over on Julia’s blog. Before I disclose the disaster area that is my desk a shameless plug for our new challenge over at CCW where we are making Christmas cards … yes we really are. I so hope you’ll join us. You can see my cards on this post.

Anyway you’re here to see my desk … and I have been VERY busy. I made some Disney Princess bunting for my sister’s bridal shop and ended up making 6 sets of the darned things … no more I plead!

I must apologise for not hopping round more desks last week – very rude when so many people visited mine. I have been so busy, but I will make time this week, I promise.

Hop over to What’s on your Workdesk Wednesday to see some more interesting craft rooms. You'll be glad you did.

Make it Monday #125

It’s Monday so time to join in the linky party at Make it Monday.

Each year I go on a great week-long scrapping retreat with my UKS teamies to Olney, famous for its Pancake Race. We are usually there around Pancake Day and here I am showing off my skills with the frying pan. We’ll be there in a few weeks from now – I’d better get practising!

As always there are some super projects to see at MiM and I have chosen this card by Tracey as my favourite of the DT examples … that lion image will be perfect for a card for my great nephew, Leo. :o)

ETA My page this week is also the weekly challenge on UK Scrappers..

Beat the Christmas Rush 25th January

My Christmas card tally to date …  5

The new link up is launched over at Creative Craft World. Our aim is to be well ahead with Christmas card making when December arrives. Check out the launch post here.

I’m going to do my best to make the five cards each month and here are my offerings for January.



Each month the design team will be featuring their favourite card from the previous month’s linkies. This is our first month, of course, so I’ve looked through my Pinterest pins and picked this card to share with you made by Sarah Shewell on her blog Sarah’s Inky Fingers.




 I really hope you will join in.

Here’s my page for the January challenge at Scrapology. I’ve simplified the sketch but I think the gist of it is there.

Good morning and welcome to my Wednesday workdesk snoop :o) Well what amazing weather we’ve had! Here’s the view from my craft room last Thursday …

Anyway, what’s been happening on my workdesk? I’ve been pretty busy making cushions watch this space Christmas cards yes you read it right, come back on 25th Jan to find out what that’s all about and afternoon tea invitations for my sister’s post-wedding do…

The papers I used for box and the invitations is Papermania's Vintage Notes. It has a lovely linen-like finish.

I’m off to snoop round some more work desks at What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – why not hop over there, too?

Printers’ Trays

I posted a couple of Tando printers’ trays yesterday and here’s another I made as a birthday card. I’ve found that silver peel offs yeuch! colour nicely with a Sharpie pen and look good in black. The alphas I used for the names were chipboard which I coloured with Black Soot Distress Ink then covered with Glossy Accents. The paper is SU Polka Dot Parade again and I also used Washi tape.

Make it Monday #124

I haven’t been to the MiM linky party for a few weeks as I’ve been busy with Design Team projects or my cushions so it’s nice to be back with something to share. This last week or so was one for a number of birthdays and I made cards using Tando printer’s trays. The paper is Stampin’ Up Polka Dot Parade which comes in fab colours. I also used Washi tape which made the covering of the ‘window frames’ easy and some of Susibee’s lovely felt buttons.
 
 

Hop over to Make it Monday – there’s loads to see! My favourite of the super design team projects is this gorgeous card by Chrissy …
