WOYWW #203 and S'Pin Cushions!

Hello lovely and creative peep's who've popped over from the Stamping Ground linky party! And everyone else, too, of course. ;) Thanks, as always, to the ever fabulous Julia over at Stamping Ground for hostessing this snoop. So, you're here to look at my desk and maybe a few projects? Well, here you are:

Ain't she a beaut? :) I am so tickled pink! Finally one of my paper pads of Prima's new Divine line came in! And I promptly sat down and made like 12 cards with it! Well, they aren't finished at all yet, but they are all started. Here is a pic of some of my washi tapes, too...

They have expanded from one yellow bin to 3 now! :0 But they are so fun and easy to use! :)

There are 3 of the Divine Prima card bases I made, and the next is just a close-up shot of one of those.

I plan to put on more embellishments and some bakers twine in a super soft pink color and probably some bling or glitter or both! lol Another close-up: 

I just love the papers in this line and I got the coordinating stamp set, too. Well, I *had* to, don'tcha know? The smaller images(like of the Victorian lady standing, pink strip, red chevron, etc.) are ATC bases from Paper Studio, just in at your local Hobby Lobby and on sale this week. You're welcome. ;)
Next are some fabric choices...

For what, you ask? For my new S'Pin Cushion creations! It's a pin cushion that you can spin the top off of...why would you do that? Because you can store your extra pins in the jar below, just super handy for when you need them. :)

Those are the 3 I mocked up the other day. I'm really pleased with them and how handy it will be to have all my extra pins so nearby, instead of in a drawer or box elsewhere, and so prettily displayed, too. Thinking of selling them, too. Anyone have any input or comments?
Well, I better get on with this and post it and link it and get to seeing some desks! Hope everyone is having a wonderful, creative and fantastic week. :)

WOYWW #196 and so much color!

I've some lovely colorful pics to share today and, of course, the one of my desk...why my desk? Because its that wonderful day of the week when we snoopy crafty people's like to wander all over the world, peeking into other crafters workspaces, enabled by the fabulous Julia over at Stamping Ground! Follow the link if you want to see more and, without further ado, here is my workspace this Wednesday:

Kinda boring, huh? :) I know. I was starting a new card. But I did make some pretty stuff since last week...

Fun and colorful card as I played with the Spellbinders dies and then the next set of three came from just 4(3 patterned and 1 of butterflies) pieces of 6x6 paper, plus the white card blanks, of course:

It's hard to tell but there is a shiny red accent(rhinestone?) in the center of each flower. So this is what was left over from the fussy cutting of the butterflies off of one of those 4 pieces mentioned above:

I decided to challenge myself and see if I could make a card with those scraps...yes, I consider this a challenge! :) I usually just scoot the scraps to the side with the hopes that one day they will get used! lol (And this is why I *never* call myself a scrapper! lol)

But I think it turned out fairly well, huh? All the images touching the outside edges of the card are paper and then the inner butterflies were all stamped in coordinating colors. Add a little bling and a sentiment and wahlah! Next are just fun eye candy sorts of pictures...I got into more dying during this last week. Here are the fruits of my labors:

Don't you want to eat them all up?! lol :) Well, I hope everyone is having a fabulous WOYWW and life outside of the internet...there is such a thing, yes? ;)
