Here are some cards I made for Xmas 2012.



W.O.Y.W.W? no.180

So here is what have been up to in the last fortnight, some of it anyway. The photo's aren't great but that's what comes from living in a basement flat.

My work area next to the sofa. What can see is bags of squares cut from old envelopes to make snowflake designs. Paper giftbags to make envelopes with. Xmas giftwrap and some washi tape used to cover inside of sketchbook.

New layout thoughts for snowflakes from an existing snowflake punch.

Card designs developing from previous posts.

Please check out the other's creativity listed on Julia's blog. Happy WOYWW to all and anyone who peeks here.



What's on your workdesk wednesday? (no.178)

My shot for What's on your workdesk wednesday? is from my lap. It shows my little bits of pearl paper scraps am using to make snowflakes for Christmas cards. Alas is still at a design stage. I was reading last night the intro. to the summer edition of  'Where Women Create' magazine. It was very apt for woyww'ers as begged the question are you a dreamer or a maker? I myself wish to be a proper maker but concede to in reality being a dreamer. So what are you? Go over to Julia's blog for everything woywwy!

Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday to anyone who is taking the time and trouble to visit me. I decided to share a picture of one of the drawers in my roller desk this time. My work tops are never permanent ones as I seem to do everything from the sofa.

      

Here are some old pages from my Xmas folders to inspire me. This year I want to 'upcycle' designs and things for my xmas cards. The last picture shows I have made a start on cutting up paper to develop the design in a pearlescent option. My new cutting matt is there. I moved it from the sofa last night as The Scribbler goes mad for my paper. 



The card design is from Carolines website I think? but I honestly can't remember.

So what's on your workdesk wednesday? has come round again. I've been knitting and papercrafting which you can see here. The work area isn't very interesting at the mo but I think it will be jazzier once xmas cards get made. I bought some Ranger goodies last week (woyww 170), so even though was not able to get on pc I was being crafty! Have a look at other people's desks, spaces etc. via Julia Dunnit's blog. I will be.

W.O.Y.W.W. No.169

Well hello, it's What's on your workdesk wednesday? time again. I've been away which explains my absence. Nanny had her little pickle and I managed to take a video of him drawing. Yay so proud but then he is his arty parents offspring so it would be very rude of him to not be a scribbler. Here are my piccies of my worktop (in living room) and my latest crafty purchase on my storage desk (in my bedroom!). My bedroom is my shame because it is never tidy, hence why only honed in on the item. The mound of mess below is naughty indeed. I am currently paper crafting, got a few unfinished atc's and teabag folding projects to do. I am also being very good in cutting up piles of magazines, even craft ones. This is very uncharacteristic of me and am sure will be back to being bad very soon.

My new item is some washi tape from paperchase, the heart border one seen above. I found an ideal pole to hold my tape in those things shops put in new footwear. What more reason do I need then to buy new shoes he he.

The scribbler.

I have been knitting mostly (yawn). I can feel the call of my paper but until I have achieved my blanket for my baby, I can't see the paper winning over the wool. Also been enjoying watching the Olympics especially last 'Super Saturday'.

I was given a whole heap of wool yesterday but realised a touch on the cheaper side so not sure what to do, whether will match my squares or make my blanket look odd when all sewn together?

My work area is looking a bit boring with folders and diary's. I am a bit of a colour queen, am all for anything patterned and pretty. Dear Ms Dunnit commented the other week on my love of Paperchase and am afraid the pictures do indeed show more evidence of this.

Paperchase pen collection.

...and finally some inspiration points. Happy w.o.y.w.w. to one and all.
