WOYWW 199

It's Wednesday again and that means WOYWW which, if you didn't know stands for 'What's On Your Work desk Wednesday', sooo you take a pic of your work desk and share it with lots of other 'nosey', I mean like minded people. Hop on over to Julia's blog stamping-ground for more info.
 
Hello peeps,
My desk looks relatively  tidy today, but you should have seen it yesterday not one inch of table top to be seen lol. I can't believe how much mess I make. I have been making a canvas/chipboard  tag for a great lady on You Tube, Jennings644 who I follow. She does some great tutorials and is very inspiring to me. 
On my desk is the first tag I started, but only realised after I had embossed the canvas, stuck it to the chipboard and also inked it that I had forgotten to leave a flat area for my wording ( a few choice words were uttered at this point) so I am in the process of  trying to salvage it if I can. So onto tag #2, I had decided to try the double embossing technique to make the smooth area for stamping, which is fine if  you have the right size die, I did not, so I  thought I would cut my own aperture from chipboard  how difficult could it be............  eeek ! aperture too large, too small,  too high, too low, too far to the left, too far to the right, are you feeling my hopelessness yet?  'many' sheets of chipboard later I gave in and had to ask for help, thank goodness technical support was on hand, hubby comes in very handy at times lol . I am absolutely hopeless with anything technical or mathematical, and that's official, my husband says so !!!
 
 
Tag #2 Finally!!! I enjoyed making this tag and I am quite pleased how it turned out, for a first attempt, ok second attempt ! lol
 


Hope your day is a happy one, and enjoy a bit of desk hopping.
Thanks for visiting me today
Happy Art Making

WOYWW 197

Hello peeps,
It's Wednesday again and that means WOYWW which, if you didn't know stands for 'What's On Your Work desk Wednesday', sooo you take a pic of your work desk and share it with lots of other 'nosey', I mean like minded people. Hop on over to Julia's blog  Stamping Ground  for more info.
My desk is still fairly tidy from my sewing duties the other week though I did make a Mothers day card for my daughter, from her dog !! (I know, but we do these things don't we ?) or is it just me !!!! Anyway that is what the pink flower shape is, at the back of my desk. It was a bit like origami, you fold it and stick it, in a way that the flowers burst from the inside of the card when you open it, but folds flat when closed. Pic below, sorry about the quality, it was 2am Saturday night by the time I took them (as you might guess) I am a last minute person.
 My MD presents from my daughter is the HUMUNGUS Lucky Eight Doily punch, and lovely 'Mum' photo album. I was well chuffed, thank you Katie, love you ! I also received an E card from my son who is in Australia  love you too Oliver, miss you !
I  love the Postman too, as today he delivered  my order from Cuddly Buddly Crafts, 6 tubs of loveliness  aka Viva 3D stamp paint, can't wait to have a play with these tubs of  loveliness, and the TH dots stamp (half price). The other bits, vials, bird house, chalkboard birdies, and Docrafts Chronology label plates and clock faces, I bought at the weekend from the Range (20% off) I only went in for a paint brush lol. To the left are some stamps and chipboard embellishments that I had given. Finally the two wooden stamps were used for Katie's card (cleaned but not put away) yet!
So all in all  I think  my week is going pretty good so far, Hope yours is too x
