WOYWW 423


It's ages since I joined in What's on your Workdesk, but I thought I'd call in at last, so here are my pictures for WOYWW 423. If you don't know what this is all about, please click on the link and have a look and join in the fun by showing what's on your workdesk and then having a look at the links to see everyone else's.

We moved at the end of September 2015. My craft stuff got put away as best as it could and I've never yet had the opportunity to fully sort everything ... I like to be organised and just haven't been able to do so because of other things going on in life, things that were priorities.

So, at long last, I've been having a more consistent sort out and am gradually getting everything where I want it. The aim is to have everything labelled so that I don't waste time looking for what I want to use.

Anyway, I'm hoping that very soon I'll be able to show the rest of my craft room with everything sorted and labelled. But in the meantime, here is my desk today. To the left of where I sit there's a card waiting to be written and posted, some Christmas greetings labels etc and three cards that have been made for DT challenges, the top one being for today's Penny's challenge 337 - you can read about the card here.

My much needed hayfever tablets are there, a USB fan that's very useful atm and other bits and pieces.



To the right of where I sit there are little piles of pieces of card, ribbons etc that still need to be sorted and put into the right place and a bag of waste paper bits for the recycling bin.



I hope to return again next week and show some more of my craft room. Now I'm off to link this for WOYWW 423 and then have a look at what others have been up to.

Penny's challenge 337


This is my design card for Penny's challenge 337, where the theme is anything goes. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs by the rest of the team and we hope you will join in with your entries.

I used the Little blue button image: everyone needs a hug, kindly supplied by them as sponsors of the challenge, coloured with spectrum noir pens and mounted with foam tape on to the shaped card, having used pieces of gingham trim and gems, although generating the sentiment on computer, printing and die cut with todo cross hatch die, edging with ink and raised up with foam pad.

For a niece's special birthday


I was commissioned to make a card for a friend's niece who was going to be 50, but without the number on it! I was asked to make it with a country garden theme.

I used a Hunkydory piece of card with a background garden scene (unfortunately, doesn't show up well here) and I put the country garden scene in the 'window' of the picture. I generated the greeting on computer, printed and die cut with a todo cross hatch die, using a bigger one to cut the gold mirror mat, both of them were embossed and the greeting panel was inked before taking out of the die.

The flower and butterfly strip was from Hobbycraft and the little 3D bird stickers from The Works.

CHNC challenge 341


This is my card for my CHNC challenge 341 - please click on the link to see what it's all about and I hope you will join in with the challenge - it makes sense to get on with Christmas creations while there is plenty of time to enjoy doing so without any panic ... and we are now getting well into July ... definitely nearer to Christmas 2017 than 2016.

The optional theme for CHNC challenge 341 is 'snowflakes'... but anything  goes as long as it's Christmas.

For my card I stamped the background randomly using a favourite inkadinkadoo stamp inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail silver powder. The centre 'snowflake' is actually a foiled doily with a couple of the points cut off, using a todo letterpress and hot foil plate. I really wanted to put a sentiment circle in the middle, but hadn't got anything suitable and time was short to make something new, so I found an embossed circle that fitted perfectly and used that.

CHNC challenges


This is my card for my CHNC challenge extra for July 2017. Please click on the link to see the lovely festive designs from my design team and we hope you will join in ... anything goes as long as it's Christmas. Now is an ideal time to start making your Christmas designs if you haven't yet started.

The foiled background paper was a magazine freebie. The image is a retired Bugaboo Stamps one called AKV girl xmas tree - Bugaboo Stamps kindly sponsor our CHNC challenge extra every month - another reason to click on the challenge link to find out what's on offer for the randomly selected winner.

I backed the image with a red and gold foiled piece of card - been in my offcuts box for ages, as had the strips used on the left and across the bottom. Washi tape was then added to these.

I'm also showing this card for my CHNC challenge 340 where the optional theme is to use some washi tape. I hope you will also be able to join in this challenge ... and don't worry if you don't want to use washi tape ... it is purely optional ... anything goes as long as it's Christmas.
