WHAT'S ON YOUR WORKDESK WEDNESDAY 195

Good morning WOYWW, I am so late getting this posted, but I did not want to miss another week. It is time for another world wind tour of the desk of the world. So, if you really want to know what it is about go over to the Stamping Ground and ask our wonderful host Julia Dunnit. She is the one who started this. But, for me it is a chance to make new friends and to see a whole lot of creativity without leaving the confines of my own home. So here is my desk.

 

This is an overhead view, in the back is the new sign that I made for my youtube channel, Lovethapaper215. It is of course purple to go with my room and very girly with lots of flowers and bling. A new project that I am working on. It is a rather large tag and will hold some stick pins. I am trying to decide if I am going to do a stick pin swap over at Mini Album Scraps. But, first I wanted to see if I could come up with a good design. Still working on it. I have lots of pieces but have not got it put together yet.

 

This is a closer look. I did a little mixed media on the tag, I have used paper, ink, embossing powder along the edges, modeling paste and stensils, paint and now I am trying to decide how I want to put it together. So that is it for today. I hope to finish this really soon. Well, now it is time to go and visit a few desk. Have a great week.

 

I would like to apoligize to all of the ladies that I did not get a chance to visit a couple of weeks ago. Life here has been really weird. The weather is lousy and I am just not feeling up to my usual self. So, I am not getting a lot of time to create or sit at the computer. But, I am really going to try and do better this week.

 

 

 

FRUITS / VEGETABLES AT BROWN SUGAR # 30

Good morning crafters, today is Friday and it is time for another challenge at Brown Sugar Challenge Blog. This week the challenge is Fruit/Vegetable. Makes you think of a nice big salad doesn't. The sponosr this week is QKR Stampede. I stopped by the store to take a look and they are fabulous. You really do need to check it out. The Brown Sugar Divas Team B have been very busy this week getting ready for this challenge and I think you are going to have some fun. So, get out your fruit/vegetable images and join us. Please remember that you must follow the challenge exactly or you entry will be disqualified. Now lets get on with it.

 

I have berries, and black berries at that.  I colored them with my copics BV17, V01, V09, V15, YG06, YG03, G09. I needed to add a few cards to my stash so I made this a thinking of you card. The bling is from my stash. I used the Tim Holtz baroque die (large) to cut the die cut. I embossed the background with a cuttl bug folder that I bought on clearance and forgot to write down the name before I through away the packaging. I thought that this came out kind of cute. I edged the die cut with my gold leaf pen.

MONOCHROMATIC AT TUESDAY THROWDOWN #135

Good morning, I can't believe how fast a week has gone. I just celebrated a birthday and had lots of fun and got lots of goodies. And now it is time for team B to lead the  challenge at Tuesday Throwdown, this week the challenge is MONOCHROMATIC (using different shades of the same color). I love the look of this type of project the colors can be from lightest to darkest in a color family. You can get some fantastic looks. So come on over and join us, Our Sponsor this week is Sweet and Sassy Stamps. I kept my card really simple and without a lot of layers.

I have a friend who needs a little lift and I plan to send her just a short message to let her know that I am thinking about her. I colored this with my copics YR14, YR21, Y38, Y32. I did not even use any glitter this time. The sentiment is a $1 stamp from michaels. The bling is from my stash and the embossing folder is from Cuttlebug (art deco set).

WHAT'S ON YOUR WORKDESK WEDNESDAY #193

It is that time again. What time you might ask, it is time for another week of spying on your crafty neighbors, time to get a peek at someones desk other than your own. The person we have to thank for this is Julia Dunnit from the Stamping Ground. She started this craze over 3 years ago and is a wonderful idea. I love it. I have made new friends and get to see so much wonderful creativity with leaving the comforts of my home. I get to visit the UK, Australia and lots of places near and far. And it doesn't cost a dime. The whole idea is if I show you mine, you have to show me yours. So here goes.

I bought a new magnetic board and decided to get it put up so then I had to move my purple boards over. I would love to have a couple of shelves underneath. So this is a work in progess and I don't know when I will finish it.

I finished the black and cream mini that I was working on the past couple of weeks and the only thing left to do is to decorate the cover. I ordered new flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and I am just waiting for them to come in. Once I get that done, I will be making a video to show the finished project. Now it is on to my Christmas album. The papers that I have used on this album is from My Minds Eye (a lost and found Christmas and one of the other Christmas packs). They go together so well. The pages are mostly done and I need to do my cover and binding. To the right are a couple of pockets and a flip page which will hold several photos. underneath the pockes are a couple of stamps that I am planning to use for cards. One is a background stamp and the other is a dress form that is just fabulous. Stay tuned to see what I do with those. Hope you have enjoyed the visit. But, I would like to apoligize to all the ladies that I did not get to visit last week. And I hope to get to more desk this week.

 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

The image is cupid from Tellen's Place Designs. The wonderful artist is Terry's son, Markus. Tellen's Place is no longer up and running, but the images are still fantastic.

 The gold paper is recycled  Christmas wrap, it is some wrapping paper that I confiscated at our department Christmas party. It is heavier than most wrapping papers and when I saw it I thought, "hey, I can use that on my cards". So as people were unwrapping their dirty santa gifts, I was grabbing up the paper before they could ball it up and throw it away. So I ended up with lots of it. I embossed the paper with the Cuttlebug hearts embossing folder. The bling was bought last year in the Hobby Lobby clearance sale. The sentiment is something that I wrote on my computer. I used the Dahlia Nestabilities as the background for the cupid. And it was Bazzill paper that I cut with it. They have been in the clearance isle for a couple of months and I was just waiting them out before I bought anymore. The image was colored with copics E11, E13, E15, E53, R24, R27, R29, Y28, spica red glitter pen and gold glitter pen.

BROWN SUGAR ANYTHING GOES #28

Good morning and thank GOD it is Friday. It has been such a long week and I am glad to have a break for a few days. I am typing this on Thursday night, because I have to be at work by 7 am today. I have a 7:30 am meeting with lots of big bosses going to be there and I dare not be late. So, since it is Friday that means that it is time for a new challenge at Brown Sugar Challenge Blog. I am having so much fun being on the Design Team. Everyone has been so nice to me since I started. So, I would like for all of my visitors to check out all of my teamies blogs. You can get to them from my sidebar. After you check them out join us at the Brown Sugar and take part in the challenge. We would love for you to follow us and check out the new Facebook page. This week our challenge is "Anything Goes", you can't get much easier than that. Our sponsor this week is MY HEART PIECES.

 

 

I was ready for some sping and this image just cries out for sunshine. I colored it with my copics and can't find my list I will add them when I get home. The card stock is Recollection, the DP is from the scrap file. The punch is friskars, the bling is from my stash I embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.
