Hello Everyone!

Stamping up images for fall line of paper products.

Stamping up images for fall line of paper products.

Happy WOYWW! Last week I received visits from some great people and it sure felt nice.  Thanks for taking the time to write a thing or two to me.  I enjoy reading them.

I am in a bit of a funk…I don’t know if I told you but I hurt my left foot a while back and have been seeing a doctor to figure out what to do.  I don’t even know when and how I did it but I ignored it for longer than I should (because I am superwoman after all) and now I think I am paying for that.  I went for x-rays and a lot of really bad stuff was ruled out but now she is thinking I either tore something or it’s on the verge of it. So it has been wrapped and I am wearing inner soles in my sneakers to see if we can heal it.  I hate the waiting and wondering when it will be better.

Enough of my sob story and on to my desk.  The boys start back to school in a few weeks so I am getting organized to create a fall line of paper products for my Etsy store which has been abandoned all summer.  So I am stamping up images and preparing to color them up for some cards.

Love love love these stamps

Love love love these stamps

I am using some of my favorite stamps from Flourishes.  They are so pretty even if you don’t feel like coloring them.  Beautiful detail.  My desk is a mess so I spared you a wider view.

Well I have taken up too much time and since I shouldn’t be moving around a lot, I will definitely be visiting desks over the next few days.

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!

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #219

August 14, 2013 by 14 Comments

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all well. I hope to visit more desks this week since my friend who was visiting left yesterday.  So very sad. We only see each other once a year.

This week I am playing mad catch up on Project Life(PL). I thought it best to start with this past week and then work my way back since all the memories are fresh.

My desk this week is filled with mostly Project Life stuff.

On the left is the PL album. Lot’s of beach fun.  Beach pictures always make me smile so this was a lot of fun to work on.  Up top is my favorite Starbucks cup (only filled with water today).  On the top right are some of my fall stamps I pulled out in preparation for making some cards.  There is one image I colored up last year that I need to make into a card.  The cute little brads are buttons and I have had them for over 7 years. But guess what? I am proud to say I just used them again.  I also have a rubber stamp from Saturated Canary that I finished cuting out waiting to be mounted on foam so I can use it.  Some Spellbinders I intend on using to make some windows on cards.

I just found this template in the Silhouette store under bundles. It is a waterfall template for Project Life. Helps me squeeze in more photos.

So I set to work to cut and assemble one.

It came out great.

I intend on making more of these for future PL layouts. It’s easy to assemble once you make it once.

It holds 4 photos in the waterfall.

I chose pictures of my best friend and I at the beach. I thought that I made the right choice since they are printed very small so no harm done to our egos (I think…).

Inside you can add one more larger (3x4) photo.

I will write some journaling to put on the top flap.

Well I kept you long enough. Thank you for visiting. I am off to snoop on your desks!

I am actually scrapbooking again.

Hello Everyone!  Wow I think I was away for three weeks this time.  It is very challenging to keep up with our summer outings and write posts. I also knew I would not have time to respond to others so I chose not to participate. But I am missing my creative peeps! So here I am.

I am re-entering the scrapbooking world. I have been on a bit of a break working on my cards, which I have also been having a break from so what am I doing?  Anyway,  I decided to make a scrapbook of my recent anniversary vacation with my husband.

Some of my tools and goodies for the album.

I recently bought a new Sterilite storage that has a cool compartment that snaps on top. In here I put all of the stuff I am thinking of using in this mini album. The beautiful borders are cut by my Silhouette and I have pretty floss I intend on using and some date stamps.

I collected things while were on our trip to possibly include in a scrapbook album.  I  also have some cool wooden pieces and buttons I have been itching to use on something.

 

My cover and some photos.

I found this album on sale at Michael’s and thought the color was perfect for a beach album. So I cut out the title on my Silhouette and embossed the word Chatham. I used Thickers for the year.

What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday – #214

July 10, 2013 by 16 Comments

Hello Everyone!

Last week I was celebrating the 4th of July for several days with family so I literally caught up yesterday with the friends that posted. So when I say it seems like it was just yesterday that I was typing up my WOYWW, there is some truth to it.

So here are some of the things I am working on this week.

So here are some of the things I am working on this week.

Let’s start at the left on my table. I am working on an interactive beach themed card using my Silhouette (which I am loving BTW).  Underneath that is a cigar box I bought a while ago to alter. I bought some really beautiful paper from Heidi Swapp and even some brass legs to attach underneath. So stay tuned for when I actually begin work. I have had it on the shelf and thought perhaps putting it on my desk might be the nudge I need to make it happen (one can hope).  My Jelly Beans are low but have no fear I have several more bags to replenish that I received from dear friends on my birthday.

Latest Silhouette project.

In the back you can see a card I scraplifted from Silhouette’s Blog. I liked it and I am even going to frame it like I saw on their site (no shame here).  In front is a project I started for my husband but I need to print the tiny photos to go in it.

My latest craft haul.

The cute chalkboard hearts are actually attached to mini clips, I want to use them on a card. In the front of my desk is my recent crafty purchase. I got both Amy Tangerine and Dear Lizzy date stamps to use on Project Life.  I bought some new Copic nibs because months ago, I damaged one.  I also bought the latest and greatest Copic Coloring Guide 4. Super excited to work through it. I have learned a lot from each guide and look forward to this one.

My dear friend Bella beautiful ATC.

Recently, I received some mail from South Africa and I did my happy dance even before I opened it because I knew it was from Bella. She surprised me and mailed me an ATC even though I didn’t participate this year. Last time we swapped and she made a beautiful one with an elephant.  Thank you Bella, your the best.
