Happy hump day where we share Whats on Your Workdesk Wednesday, been hectic so havent been able to pop round many (sorry) BUT I had to make a coupe more cards last night (when the photo was taken) as I ran out so it seemed perfect to take a quick photo and do a blog update (I spend hours staring at a screen for my pay the bills job so dont like being on line much out of hours) and I remembered to turn my decorative lights on too!

I also remembered my "Man Bites Dog" cards this week and they are 'Cruel Actor Dumps Romantic Wife'  oh that's cheerful just before Christmas!!  

Hope you are all well and getting ready for Christmas, however you spend it, my family and friends are all over the globe so no doubt we will do some video chats and eat a lot of food and probably a lot of sprouts too (well there are some still on my allotment so would be rude not to!).

Stay safe and Merry Christmas

Hello peeps, need to start with an apology as the pay the bills job is busy (and probably will be for the next few months) so I have been a bit slack in desk returns and even blogging myself.  However, I was chuffed to get some lovely post in the past week.

The postcard and ATC on the left is from the lovely Morti (LOVE the fact that the castle isnt in Camborne but still its close by so they included it!!).  In the middle is a postcard and handpainted ATC from the lovely Jan and on the right is a lovely ATC (with a great stamp saying "Today is a great day", yes it is) from Bishopsmate.

I also remembered my "Man Bites Dog" cards and this weeks headline is "Star Actor Snubs Judge" - ooh I wonder if that would refer to one of those TV shows like "The Masked Singer" etc???

So, What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday?

Happy hump day where we share What's on your workdesk Wednesday! Well, this was late last  night, sadly my workdesk is filled with pay the bills jobs so only a small space, but still space for me to finally finish my sketchbook! Yes the final page which means i get to start a new sketchbook!! Hurrah! 

In the final double page spread i sketched some architectural sketches, thought they would be good practice for my urban sketchers meet ups. 

Only a quick update as super busy with pay the bills job, but hope to stop by some desks later in the week.

Happy crafting

wine postcard

Hello peeps just a quick update as I am presuming this has gotten to the recipient by now as I posted it about 3 weeks ago (to NZ).  This was a postcard (as not able to post overseas cards at the moment as that means having to go into a post office for weighing them for the stamps whilst I had a couple international postcard stamps left over) that I made for my Uncle's birthday

The background bottles were stamped and distressed and the main topper was matted and layered, not sure where I got the image from as it was in my scraps box but they love their wine festivals so it seemed fitting for the recipient.

Hope you are all keeping ok and catch up soon

Butterfly birthday card

Just a quick update on the card I was making, finally finished it with a rub on butterfly that I added some glitter to (its one of those double sided sticky ones, I have had it loose for AGES).

and the rest? From my scrap box of course!!  Yes, it is quite a big box BUT I have ordered it into small folders of similar colour ways so it does make it a bit quicker to see what I have!

What have you guys been making? 

 I hope to pop round a few blogs this weekend and check them out

Easter card

Hello peeps, just a quick update as realised I hadn't shared the Easter card I made.

It was an embossed background, hand coloured stamped image and a peel off (the left over wording) in the centre of the card.  Nice and simple and uses more scraps up so all good!

Cards update

Just  a quick update on a few cards I have made.

These were the cat stamped image, I thought it made sense to colour a few at the same time to make a batch, and to be honest it worked out quite well as I made 4 in only 30 mins.

I also coloured a couple of these hedgehog images (since it was the same colour palette) to add to my greeting card stash

Think I may need to get grungy next time as my hands are looking too clean!

Happy hump day and another What's on your Workdesk Wednesday and check me out, yet again getting some crafting in!!  To be honest, it is usually only 30 mins here and there at the moment and the weather has helped over the past few weeks as not been able to get out on the allotment much, but still, crafting!

So on my desk this week are some more stamped images I am working through to make some more cards, I seem to have an animal theme over the past couple weeks, no idea why, but I am going with it!

My "Man Bites Dog" cards this week are 'Blonde Star Stabs Tourist'-ooh not a great headline, but then to be honest they rarely are!

So are you going to bare all and share you desk?  

If so all the details are over on the Queen of Desks blog here

A few more cards

I finished my penguin cards!

I thought I would keep then nice and clean with just a little colour on the beaks, some shading and a sentiment.  I then matted it onto a micro dotted background paper.

 Then I was on a roll and found some embossed papers I made ages ago so decided to add some ribbon, flowers, leaves and pearls to another card!

I am hoping this productive run continues!

Happy crafting

Cards update

 Hello peeps, just a quick update on the card I was making on Wednesday.  

This is the hot air balloon card, not too much going on (nice and flat so perfect for posting overseas etc) but it used up one of my masterboards and a stamped image so I suppose thats 2 bits of card less in the room!!

This is the valentines card I made for my hubby.  It was some leftover masterboard from ages ago and I die cut it and stitched round it.  I used 2 backing papers one with the kiss and one with a guitar (since my hubby is a bass guitar player in the punk band The Setbacks).

2 makes and hopefully I can find time to make some more soon

Christmas Cards update

Just a quick update, I have managed to make a few Christmas cards. 

 I like to have about 20 made by the end of January so that when I panic in November it gives me a 'phew' moment! 

 Most of them are upcycled cards we received this Christmas, which means they are reused as you cannot recycle cards with any glitter on them so at least they get a 2nd use!

So, not the amount I would like to have made but a good starter for ten at least!

Onwards and upwards
