WOYWW 207

Once again, I have to ask where did the time go. I have accomplished nothing in the last week and my brain is working in overdrive with all of the things that I want to create. But, for now I just am going to show you my desk. Why you might ask? Because it is time for another What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday over at the Stamping Ground with the fabulous Ms. Julia Dunnit as our hostess. It is a time for world travel and a chance to see and get to know lots of creative people. Here is my desk and why don't you go on over to visit and see what I am talking about.

On my desk are lots of pieces for my ATCs for next weeks anniversary swap. You will have to wait to see the finished product. But, there is a film strip from Tim Holtz, lots of little pictures to fit in the film strip and my ATC base. You can see lots of tools for working with and my Kindle fire as I was watching a video while I worked.  So, if any of you ladies would like to swap ATCs with me, please send me an email at the address on my sidebar. I will be happy to swap with you.

This is a closer look at my pieces. Have a good week and I hope to see you again soon.

 

SHABBY CHIC PENNANT

Wow, I can't believe that it has been a week and I have not done anything creative. I can only be glad that I have quite a few projects finished that I have never shown. The project that I am going to show tonight is a pennant that I made for a friend and she is going to add it to some others to make a banner for her craft room. She loves shabby chic and this is what I came up with.

The papers are Tim Holtz shabby chic pad, and I used 3 layers to make the pennant. The flowers are a variety, some Wild orchid crafts others are prima and still others are recollections. The flat back pearls are from Hobby Lobby.  The bling is recollections. The trim is Tim Holtz and I sprayed it with dylusions spray bubble gum pink. The stamped postcard is from Prima Paris set.

WOYWW 206

Hi all, not much longer and WOYWW will be celebrating their 4th anniversary and there is going to be a ATC swap just like last year. So, go on over and check out the Stamping Ground and the lovely Ms. Julia. She will give all of the pertinent details to the swap. I just love being nosey and checking out all of the wonderful blogs around the world. I working on getting more time to do this. So, if I missed you last week I will surely get around to you this week. I am still not feeling my usual energetic self. But, I am working on it. I will be making about 15 ATC's this year and If you would like to swap with me please let me know and send me your address through the email on my side bar. I love making ATCs and I love to swap them. Well, here is my desk this week. I have not been very creative and have not finished anything but a couple of cards. I started working on an album for one of my new customers. I have only finished about 5 pages. This one is going to be 81/2 x 11, it is for a wedding gift. So, it has to be wonderful. Once I get more of it together I will post a few photos. Here is my desk this week

As you can see there is not much going on. I ran out of my favorite chipboard and had to glue 3 pieces of a thinner chipboard together and that is why the paper pad is on my desk, it is covering the glued chipboard and keeping it flat. The pages to the mini I was working on last week have been punched and are just waiting for me to get a cover made and then comes the fun part. You can see my video camera there on the tripod just waiting for me to get some projects finished and make some videos.  But, that is it for me right now. If you would like to see some of my videos (here is the link). I would love it if you would watch and leave me a comment or become a subscriber.

 

SHABBY CHIC

Here is a project that I made for a friend and since I haven't posted in a while, I decided that I needed something pretty. I don't do Shabby Chic often even though I like the look of it. But, this is what she likes so here it is.

The papers are from a really old Tim Holtz pad (Shabby Chic),  The images are from a Hampton Arts one of a set of Graphic 45 designs. I stamped them on a Tim Holtz ticket and colored with copics  and then used glossy accents over them. I inked the edges with distress ink. The flowers are from my stash and are from Wild orchid crafts and the bling is from Recollections. I really like how this turned out and will be using the scraps to make another card for my bosses birthday.

WOYWW 205

Hey Bloggers, it is time for another 'WHAT'S ON YOUR WORKDESK WEDNESDAY" over at the Stamping Ground. The place where you can take a trip around the world and never leave the comfort of your craft room. Our hostess is the fabulous Ms. Julia and boy can she tell a good story. Stop on over and pay her a visit. Here is my desk this week and then I am off to see what's up over in the UK.

I am working on a shabby chic card to go along with a banner that I made for a challenge on youtube. I have to get it in the mail and I will be posting it on my blog in a day or two. I need to finish this card tonight so that I can get it in the mail tomorrow. So, that is it for me. I am off to visit some other blogs. Have a great Wednesday.
