WOYWW 168

Hi fellow artist. Those of you that like to be nosey and snoop around other artist blogs. You all know what time it is. It is time for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday over at the Stamping Ground with the wonderful Julia who is our hostess. If you have never visited Julia, you really should and see what this is all about. But, I must warn you, it is very addictive and well, you will see. Tonight, I don't have a lot going on on my desk. My cousins mini is still there waiting for the photos to go into it. I did drop them off to be printed so I should pick them up soon. But, how many of you have heard of Kathy Orta from Paper Phenomenon she designs some of the most wonderful mini albums and things to hold them in. Well, last year she designed this wonderful paper bag mini that is made like a match book. It is quick and easy and just as cute as can be. If you have 6x6 pads they are perfect to cover the bags. Well, I started one last night and got my bags all prepped and then could not decide on the paper. Finally I did and I will me using a pad of MY minds Eye (Madison) You should really check her out. I have also decided that I am going to make this particular album as Christmas gifts this year. Well, here is my desk.



Well, the kraft square is my paperbags already to be covered. The black bags are next, I have some vintage Prima paper that I can't wait to use. So stop on my Julia's and see what is going on. I have to go now. I need to get started snooping.

    Paper bag mini sounds interesting, great idea to make gifts for peeps. Beautiful paper, I try and stay away from paper by Prima or MME as I find it so hard to cut it up!

    It really is amazing what items can be used in crafting..paper bags, toilet roll tubes..the mind boggles. It's all very clever though!
