WOYWW #249

So I've been away for like forever, huh? Life. Sometimes it just keeps you so busy you don't have time for some of the funnest stuff around...like What's on your workdesk, Wednesdays! Brought to you by the fabulous and diligent Julia Dunnit over at Stamping Grounds. Here's my desk, as I actually made some stuff this week! And pics of the cards I made too. :)

 Smaller cards, requested to be non-occasional so that's why there's no sentiments or anything...

 Bigger one that actually inspired those right above it...

 Next is just a few clean and simple cards...

Hmmm, sorry the photo's really aren't that great. I got a new computer and haven't found the software for my camera just yet. But I will. Someday...lol Hope you all have a great hop around the desks and if you leave a comment with your number I will be sure to return the visit! :)

WOYWW #229...still! :)

Hey, I made it! :) I do miss getting around to visit all you fabulous crafters out there...if not because of how awesome you are then at least because of how your desks are always almost as messy as mine! :) Why would I go looky or show off my own desk? Simple. 'Cause I can. ;) Thanks to the super wonderful Julia over at Stamping Ground, where you can go find out what this WOYWW thing is all about and see more desks with creative happenings...happening. :) So, here's the pics...

Ya, not much happenin'...getting ready to make at least 4 cards though and do some watercoloring...here is a card I made awhile back...the paper was partially patterned and then I stamped and embossed and diecut the hot air balloon, applied the washi tape and just generally had fun... :)

So, this is a bonus shot of the jewelry area...got lots out a couple months ago (!) and then didn't make snot...except for a big mess! :) Nothing new there, right? lol

But, hey! Here's some roses for y'all! :) Arranged these today even...and posted! What?!
You can call me Super Woman. ;)

Now I have to get this up and linked and find out what some of you real Super Women have been up to in your crafty spaces...hope everyone is having an amazing day! :)

P.S. Did I ever show y'all how much my pup is lovin' our new loveseat?

Pretty cush, huh? ;) And isn't he totally posing?! Alright, hugs for you all! :)

WOYWW #220

The saga continues! Last night I had to move the dog cage/bed as it stuck out too far and the way I had to sit was making my back ache, can't have that! So I moved things around under the desk and added a shelf to the ongoing craft room re-org...it will serve as another crafting surface actually, since I put it level with my desk, there on the left under the clock, see? (And yes, it was 1:15 a.m. when I took this pic! But then I was too tired to join up before going to bed.) Speaking of desks, thanks to the ever lovely and wonderful Julia over at Stamping Ground, here's mine:

I don't like that tangle of cords back there by the TV, but what shall I do about it? Hmm. That little shelf is turning out to be very handy, so glad I know how to run a power drill and find studs...at least in my walls if not in my life! lol ;) And do you see I still have room left for more stuff on my desk?! The pegboard to the left of the TH inks is still empty and under the little shelf there is empty, too. But my washi tape spinner is totally full and I have 15 tapes coming on a slow boat from China...first world problems, right? Here is a close-up of the right side of my desk. See my new Disney paper? Gonna make some simple cards for boys...while enjoying my raspberry lemonade. :)

Here are the cards I made out of my new Hello Kitty! paper. Very simple as they are for little girls and I couldn't have buttons or whatnot on there that they might remove and choke on. You know kids. My son wasn't like that when he was little, but I know other kids can be like that so safety first, right? :)

I'm thinking I will sell them in packages of like 3 or 4 or something or just give them to that thing for Soldiers...Operation Write Home or something? That's also why I didn't add glitter or any other bling, like I normally would...love the glitter! :)
Hobby Lobby is the source for the new papers, by the way, and they are on sale 50% off this week, too. You're welcome! ;) Enjoy the WOYWW everyone and thanks for stopping by!

Diorama's and Some CASE cards...

Thanks to Split Coast Stampers I discovered diorama's and made a few, that I intend to keep! And one for give away. :)

This is the one to give away...

I plan to make a bunch more of these, they are so fun!
And thank you Pinterest for inspiring me...here are the inspiration photo's and my copies:


Top is mine, bottom is inspiration...






Obviously very loosely copied...
And since I can't figure out how to get the words down where I wanted them I'll just sign out here! :)

WOYWW #216

Hello lovely blog browsing beauties! :) Here for WOYWW? Julia dear sent you? Isn't she a doll? :) If you don't know what I'm rambling on about go check it out here: Stamping Ground. Here is my desk today:

Actually that's the area to the left of where I sit when I papercraft. It only seemed fair to show you that side since I showed you the other side and behind me last week. :) Now here is my desk today:

Here is the card I was working on...for fun. :)

Here is one I made earlier this week as I was trying to get some of my "inspirational" Pins to actually inspire me! lol :) But actually I think it is quite fitting seeing as how there was a royal birth so very recently...

That's it for me this week! Hope everyone has a great WOYWW and week. :)

WOYWW #215

Hello and welcome to my blog! :) If you came here via the ever fabulous Julia from Stamping Ground then you'll be wanting to see my desk, huh? I have several pics this week...

I dug out my card blanks/bases and worked on them, getting several gussied up. ;) That is, I embellished them. :) Hey, here is the reason I call it a craft cave:

My swiveling chair, with behiney in it, usually resides in that 2-3 foot wide space. Well, everything is right at hand. Or it is as I swivel. :) Someday I may clean this room out of the stuff that is just being stored in here and have more room. But I do like that everything is so close at hand...hmmm. Anyways, next are several cards, newly embellished and ready to roll:

Well, that's enough of that for now. But here is an anniversary card I made up, fresh, Friday last. It's one of those multi-fold thingies. :) Can you believe I had to find the directions again? It's been a year since I made one of these! And then the directions were so simple I felt stupid for not remembering them, oh well. :)

I did manage to give away or otherwise liberate myself of around 50 cards over the weekend! Now there is space for me to create more! :) Hope everyone has a fab WOYWW and many thanks to those who contributed their opinions on burlap v.s easel. I couldn't decide so I went with both! :)

WOYWW #214 and more cards! :)

Yep. Had a "productive" week and finished lotsa cards. :) And thanks to Julia over at Stamping Ground you get to see my desk and my cards. ;)

Mess, glorious mess! :) Most of that I got out to make the (unfinished) card in the center of the picture. Don't worry, I did get it finished and have a pic, at the end. :) And more finished cards...

Here is the card I was working on when I took the picture of my desk, which got worse before the card was finished, believe it or not! lol :)

So do you like the pictures better on the easel against the messy background or on the distressed burlap looking stuff? Well, let me know in the comments if you have an opinion and thanks for stopping by, as always. Hope you have a wonderful week y'all! :)
