WHAT'S ON YOUR WORKDESK WEDNESDAY #198

Where did the time go? The week has just speeded by and I don't believe I have done half the things that I had planned to do this week. And here it is time for another What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday and I don't have anything finished to show you. Things are just not moving has fast as I would like. First, I am still working on the Vegas scrapbook, Another page almost finished, just have to add some more journalling.  But, there are still photos from 4 more days in the desert. The grand canyon and the valley of fire. Two awesome sites with lots of photos. But, this is one that is ready.

The Paris hotel ( I would love to go to Paris one day) and the Planet Hollywood hotel. I can't find the photo of the Venice Hotel, they actually have a gondola.

Painting some boxes (one a 4x4 box that I plan to use for a calendar) and a Balsa box that I am going to give in a RAK. and that container in from of the 2 bottles of paint which I am going to make into a pin cushion. I have covered it with 2 coats of gesso and hot glued some  glass rocks in the bottom to keep it steady. I hope to finish off at least 2 of these this coming weekend. I still have a lot of work to do on the calendar. I don't like the way that paint covered it is streaky on the outside and needs another coat of paint. Well, that is it for me right now and it you want to know why I am showing you whats on my desk, go on over to the Stamping Ground and ask the wonderful Julia. She is the lady who started the worlds largest blog hop.

 

Well, I am off to visit some creative blogs. Hope you will join us.

 

 

 

SPACE ADVENTURE AT TUESDAY THROWDOWN #139

Before I get to the challenge, I would like to say a fond farewell to Vicki P who has had to leave our wonderful team for personal reasons. Vicki we will miss you. Good luck.

Now, are you ready for some fun? Today at Tuesday Throwdow it is time for some space adventure. Our sponsor is MYGRAFICO they have some really fun images and you should stop by and check them out.. I am using the rocket ship and space girl. So, hop on your space ships and join in the fun.

 

I did not do much coloring for the images. I used copics to color the air and bows E09, E23, V12 and I used a silver Krylon leafing pen to color the ship. The larger circle spellbinders die to cut the moon and the inverted scalloped circle for the sun. I typed the fly me to the moon sentiment on the computer. The DP is from an old my minds eye stack. That is it, so come on and join in the fun. The team would appreciate it and so would I.

WHAT'S ON YOUR WORKDESK WEDNESDAY #197

Well, it is not quite Wednesday yet, but I want to get this ready as early as possible. It is almost time for another What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday, with the fab Julia Dunnit our wonderful hostess. If you still don't know what I am talking about it is time to sit down at your computers and take a trip around the world to see what others in your field are working on. Me, I have been scrapbooking since the weekend. I am so far behind that it is not even funny. I went to Las Vegas in August 2011 and I have still not finished with my photos from there and the Grand Canyon. But, I am getting closer. I finished about 9 pages since Saturday.  They are mostly 2 page spreads. I at least feel like I accomplished something.

 

These are some of the photos from our shopping expedition at the huge outlet mall in Vegas. The shoe store we were in was just amazing. But, so was every other store that we entered. And the prices were really good. So much shopping and so little time. I just need to do the journally on these 2 and it will be pretty much done.

 

 

My desk is a mess at the moment but in the background you can see some stickpins that I recently made. Well, that is it for me. Stop on by the Stamping Ground and check it out. I will tell you that it is addictive and so much fun.

 

BROWN SUGAR EASTER CHALLENGE # 32

TGIF, aren't you glad that it is Friday, I am. It has been a busy week for me and I have only had a very little time for creating. And since it is Friday you know I had to create something for the Brown Sugar Challenge. this week it is Easter. During this time bunnies are a big part of the theme (although I have never been sure why). But, I have chosen a cute little bunny to make my project from.

I haven't done a lot in pinks lately so I used that as my main color. The image was colored with copics R20, R21, RV11, RV06, RV21 and I used atyou spica glitter pen Pink. The happy Easter is part of the image. The buttons and twine is from my stash as is the bling and ribbon. The DP paper is Colorbox. I inked the edges of the image with distress ink victorian velvet. I liked the faux stitching on the rabbit and just highlighted it with the glitter pen. The card stock is bazzill. Although you really can't see that.

Now that you have seen my creation, go on over to Brown Sugar and join in the fun. The rest of the team is  listed on my sidebar and they would love it if you stopped by for a visit. Have fun and we hope to see you soon.

WHAT'S ON YOUR WORKDESK WEDNESDAY # 196

Wow, where does the time go? It is Wednesday again and time for another What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday at the Stamping Ground with lovely Julia Dunnit, our hostess. If you don't know what I am talking about, go on over and check it out. It is time to visit lots of desk and see what everyone else is working on.

This is an arial view of my desk, I have made some new stick pins and I am working on some large tags. I thought I was going to do a swap at one of the ning sites, but I just can't seem to get excited about it. I finished off a couple of projects and will post them separate from this post. I need to be working on a card for my Friday design team.

 

LACE AND DOILIES AT TUESDAY THROWDOWN # 137

Hey, it is Tuesday and time for another fab challenge at Tuesday Throwdown. This week the challenge is "Lace and Doilies" and to be honest I had never used a doily on my cards before. So, I picked some up when I saw that this was one of the challenges. The sponsor for this Challenge is Robyn's Fetish. She has some wonderful images and I always have so much fun using them.

 

The image that I have used is tea for two. I really like how this came out. The teapot was colored with Copics E81, E50, E51 and the peach spica atyou glitter pen. The lace and bling is from my stash. I used a spellbinders die to cut the  shape behind the teapot. I sprayed the doily with glimmer mist. All of the papers are from my scrap file. The stamp is from Michaels $1 bin from a couple of years ago.
