There's a blog I like called Stamping Ground and it has a feature called Whats on your wordesk wednesday? I like the idea of being able to see and share what crafter's are up to, so you can see my share for this week

What's on your workdesk Wednesday? - WOYWW.



I picked up this standing sewing box in a second hand shop several months back. Is ideal for my rubber stamps allthough wont hold them all! They spill over into other areas as will see.
This is my roller desk I got from Oxfam when we moved in. I then collared my husband's dvd/book case he was going to throw out, to put on top of it. The desk is always full of random things and I can't even sit at it really.
The book case holds my magazines, craft books and card blanks mainly. On top of it are folders of ideas and a box of giftwrap. I like collecting it.
This again my husband said I could have for craft storage. I have plastic stands for peel-offs, stickers, rub ons etc. There are containers with scizzors and ribbon in, glitter glues and more magazines. I recently plonked my slice electronic die cutting machine there too. It's a bit of a dumping ground too though. My scarves end up there most days.

I'm posting pictures of my workspaces. Most of it is used for storage unfortunately. I would so love a whole room to myself for Crafting in....but a girl can dream.

Prima Products

I love Prima products. I got some new flowers made from ribbon this week. They're just beautiful and now I've seen the header on their blog here I just want to get more of their things!

Garden themed card.

This is my latest card. I scanned a paper napkin using photoshop and printed it out as a background. The watering can is an old creative cut out by Carolines. The other embellishments are by papermania.


Finding something different....

Finding something different to craft with is quite tricky when you're a bit strapped for cash. I think I've come up with quite a good idea though with some toys from yesteryear. I found a 'Picture Plates' toy by Tomy in a charity shop. I had a fashion wheel as a kid and a similar plate type toy which I still have.
The little plates managed to go through my die cutting machine and so gave me an embossed design was after. Now I think I will try as many backgrounds as possible.

Mothering Sunday card.


Here is the card I made for my mum for Mothers Day this year. I used an old (but still available)creative cut-out by Carolines for the main element and 'Bloom and Grow' range die cuts by My Minds Eye. Also a few old papermania stickers.

Ooooh la la....has been too long...

Ooooh la la....has been too long since I posted on my blog. I have a good reason though - that I am having a baby in November. It has been a difficult experience for me but as I don't know that many read this blog anyway it's been just one of those things put on the back burner! I do find solace in my crafting though so as am working on my xmas cards will want to share them on here.
