WOYWW 237 - Something Different

So What's on My Workdesk this Wednesday?? 

Usually I'm making cards,  but right now I have a scrapbook layout I am putting together to show off at a craft fair this Sunday. (I'm a little behind as it was originally last Saturday and was re-scheduled due to an ice and snow storm.)(like Julia, am having trouble doing it all) Christmas Cards are in the mail today...LOL.

I used CTMH Sparkle and Shine papers and the coordinating dimensional elements. I think I will stamp down the side of the right hand page on the Juniper cardstock. Due to the time crunch I cannot take credit for the design...I am "scraplifting" from Pinterest.  Cute, though!

Thank you for stopping by and check the other posts at the WOYWW blog!

WOYWW #213

This morning before work I reviewed some of the "fruits" of my labors...LOL.

Today is WOYWW stands for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.  Hosted by Julia of Stamping Ground.

I had heat-embossed several fruits from the CTMH Sweet Life set last weekend and took them to our property to work on during quiet time. That turned out to be while drinking coffee with DH on Sunday morning :).

I colored them with colored pencils and blending pens and fussy-cut several.
Then I used one for my MojoMonday #300 card. The rest are ready for play...scattered about the table.

I don't have an actual card made, but I have an idea I think I will be submitting to a magazine, so I can't share it YET.
As I looked at the fruits, I was trying different layers, and ended up moving to my Cricut table to cut some layers. I will show my messy Cricut area instead of a card! A workdesk bonus!!!



Crafty Cricut Area

I am fortunate because my DH set up an area in the basement for me to craft my heart out...and I NEVER have to put anything away...well, til I have all the surfaces covered and can't find room to work - LOL!

Today I used my Artiste cartridge, and some CTMH cardstock in cotton candy and ruby, which will pair well with the Chantilly patterned paper.

Thanks for looking at my creative process today....I should have quite a few cards made over this long upcoming holiday weekend! And they won't all be fruity :)

Maybe someday I will be brave enough to show my VERY messy stamping/embossing table! 
Have a great week and for the US desktoppers have a safe and happy 4th of July holiday!

WOYWW -- 1st Time

I've joined the What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday Blog Hop....so what's on my work desk? 

Remnants of the Navy and Lime set of 10 Whaley Thank You cards that I just finished, and now I get to make a couple more of the same card -- seems that I was showing them off, and the viewer was interested and requested 2.  Excellent!

I have one made and will probably throw 4-5 more together because they are just too cute!  And I seem to have a few whales, clouds, starfish and sentiments left lying about. Might as well put a few more together.  

That is always when I seem to make up time -- when I have the parts cut for a set and can just assemble them. I try to always make additional parts. I probably shouldn't worry about it, but I just have a hard time justifying taking 2 hours to make 1 card.  Part of the enjoyment is looking through my supplies, and finding JUST the right paper, and JUST the right sentiment or focal stamp, and JUST the right embellishments, so I should just write it off as time well spent. It's supposed to be relaxing, right?

Thanks for stopping to look at my messy desk! Oh -- and the card is on yesterday's post! Happy Wednesday!
