What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #199

Hello!! I hope you are all doing well. It is Tuesday night and I am typing this post early as usual. I don’t have time to do it on Wednesday’s but let’s just say, nothing is going to change on my desk between Tuesday night and Wednesday. So that being said, here is a peek:

I have decided to really buckle down and practice my coloring to get to the next level. So today I hunkered down with tea, music and my markers. I colored the clouds and some suns.  Tomorrow I will do a little more and so on. I tend to practice in spurts so I want something more consistent.

I also wanted to say I had a blast on my recent craft retreat.

I was able to work on several projects. I made this mini album. You can see more here!

Well I am off to go snoop around the globe.

If you haven’t learned about this amazing creative journey you can take every Wednesday, then head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Have a blessed day!

Mini Album Project – Choose Happy!

Choose Happy!

Choose Happy!

Hi Everyone!  I thought I would share one of the projects I completed last week on my craft retreat. I haven’t been doing much scrapbooking beyond Project Life and I haven’t made a mini album in a very long time. So this was a really fun project to create. I bought the base for this mini album at  Joann’s a long time ago on clearance. So I gathered it and added some paper from my 6×6 paper packs. The one I used most of was from My Mind’s Eye ‘ Indie Chic – Nutmeg’.  I am on an aqua kick right now so I kept the palette to aqua and a few other colors. I even painted the mini close pins to match.

I also used some sticker elements from Echo Park’s ‘For the Record’.

I also used one of my girlfriend’s Stampin Up stamps to create the little hearts you see in there.

I love all the little pockets and the bicycle is so stinkin’ cute.

The colors are a mixture of serene from the blue and muted browns to pure energy from the golden yellow colors.

I also used doilies for added dimension.

I can’t wait to put some photos in those little “Polaroid frames.

One of my favorite elements are the wooden man and woman. I just love them.

Can’t wait to put something in that glassine envelope.

I am thinking of using only black and white photos so as not to compete with the color scheme.

I will share more projects in the days to come so do stop by soon.

Have a blessed day!
