on my desk…

Hello crafty ladies! It’s that time again! For those of you that aren’t familiar with WOYWW (What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday), head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world where we get to snoop on other crafter’s desks.

Today I am in a rush. My boys have half day and get released at 12 so I am squeezing a post in before I head out to pick them up. My desk is exactly as I left it on Friday when I did my virtual craft hour with Ashley. You can see my smoothie, a cardfront I stamped up and began coloring with my copics. You can see the book sleeve of a new book I bought. I always take the covers off when I read them.

Copic coloring the cardfront.

I plan on coloring them and then adding a blue backgound then adding Nuvo drops to the centers. Will share when I complete it.

A panel I attended at the Boston Book Festival.

I have been wanting to attend this book festival for years and this year I finally made it happen. I had so much fun listening to the various authors speak and then chatting up close for pictures and book signings. It is so nice to be in rooms full of book nerds!

Meeting some amazing authors.

I’m not going to lie, I was fan girling hard. I couldn’t believe I was actually talking with the authors that wrote books I’ve read. It was a very special moment indeed.

My Mom’s 70th birthday celebration.

Today is my late mother’s birthday. She passed away in 2007 but I still think of her daily and hold her close in my heart. I thought I would share this photo from her 70th. I rented out a pottery place and we all made plates for her then headed home to celebrate with the fellas. It was a great time.

Have a blessed day my friends and I will make visits over the next few days.

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #536

on my desk…

Hello friends! It’s that time again! For those of you that aren’t familiar with WOYWW (What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday), head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world where we get to snoop on other crafter’s desks.

Well I know I say this every week but wow does time fly. On my desk is my current stamping supplies. On the left, in the bag are seeds I collected for my gardening twin. Below is a picture of the flowers at my father-in-laws. They are the flowers closest to me in the picture. So I collected seeds some for me and some for her.

The flowers at my father-in-laws.

On my desk you can also see some new costers I bought at Target. I’m plan to personalize them for my sister-in-law who just moved into a new home. I grabbed an extra set for me too because they are so pretty. I will customize mine too. The strips of scrap paper above my stamping, are from when I cut down the watercolor paper for the stamping. I keep them to test out colors before I commit them to my projects then I toss them.

Today I am working on a couple of things. One is I am stamping up some flowers onto some watercolor paper in preparation for some cardmaking.

Mass producing the images for some cardmaking.

I have the matching dies so I don’t have to fussy cut. I used to like it but now I realize I am not that good and it takes too long. So I truly value the coordinating dies.

Matching dies makes life easier.

I am also gathering supplies to make some mini notebooks with the notepads you see in the picture. I also stamped up some card fronts to use with these envelopes I have had for way too long.

current DIY project

The weather is acting wonky again. It’s going to be in the mid 80s and humid. What??? I was ready for fall weather and now I am sweating again. Not cool.

Ok I am off. I will make my rounds later today and tomorrow. Have a crafty day my friends!

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #535

September 4, 2019 by 19 Comments

on my desk…

Hello friends! We had a long weekend so it feels like it was just a minute ago I was snooping around your desks. For those of you that aren’t familiar with WOYWW (What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday), head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world where we get to snoop on other crafter’s desks.

What’s on my desk you ask? First, I was a naughty because I bought some cinnamon jelly beans and that’s in the bag on the left. Jelly beans are one of my weaknesses and I try to avoid them because I can’t stop. I also took out an old Prima stamp and stamped up this beautiful image on some watercolor paper and then I took out my lastest favorites – my Dewert Inktense Watercolor pencils.

Painted this lovely Prima stamp.

I had so much fun painting her. I bought these stamps so many years ago and kind of forgot I had them. So I am thrilled I pulled them out. I bought them to use with my Copics back then but I tell you, watercoloring them was so relaxing.

This is the other stamp I own.

I had so much fun I went online to see who still sells these stamps and I ordered a few more. I plan on adding a background color to the one on the left and including a sentiment to the bottom of each.

If you look underneath each of the images, I used two pages out of my desk ca for calendar for color inspiration. I can’t wait for the other stamps to arrive so I can paint them. I think I will put these ladies up in my craft room!

Well this week is a short post so I can try to make my rounds and snoop.

Hope you all are well and can’t wait so see what you are up to.

30-Day Coloring Challenge Part 2: Day 6 & 7

June 10, 2015 by Leave a Comment

challenge_graphic-June-650Hello Everyone! So here I am on day 8 while others are doing day 10. I decided on Friday that I would change the rules a bit to accomodate my crazy June schedule. I will not be posting my coloring challenge posts on the weekends. I will only do it on the week days. Since weekends are for my family, this will work out better. I refuse to feel bad for changing the rules a bit. So my end date will be beyond June 30th.

I did color Monday but it was for my ATC swap and I can’t reveal all here so you will have to trust me.

day6

Yesterday I did color up these cute elephants. I plan to use them on a magnetic bookmarkers.  I used my Copics to color them.  It’s good practice for me working with grays to create shading.

day7

I will be back later with something I color today and that will be day 8.

Happy coloring!

Belinda
