What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday?

WOW don't the Wednesdays come around fast, but then I suppose I'm looking forward to them so's I can join in with the crowd at WOYWW week 268....why not pop over to Julias blog if you're not sure what I'm talking about and join in the fun.
..in my opinion!Here's a standing on a chair view of my desk today... I'm in the throws of making another Christmas card (here if you want a close look).  So on my desk you can see the DIs I've been using - see the box on sponge pieces below my laptop, I use these to add the ink, there's one for each. The stamps I've been using, my heat gun - because I love embossing - this card is in white. There's my pink phone on top of a folder of cling stamps and see underneath on the floor - a tray of old inks....Adirondack and Ancient Page...they're pretty much useless - BUT - yesterday I played about with them and some were fit to add soft colour and then I figure what the heck and I sprayed a few with a bit of stamp cleaner and whooppie they're slightly revived. I found the Adirondack act a bit like DIs with water misting....here's yesterdays results and here.  That's me for today, I'd say my shortest post ever...so I'm off to snoop some desk, Cheers  and thanks for taking a peek Robyn
ps here's my card in a box from last week... for F-I-L 90th

  5. Love, love, love that box card....that's the wildest, most cheerful one I've seen to date. Just my cup of tea!! Hope your FiL loved it :-)
    And well done for breathing a little more life into your ink pads, it always seems like such a victory doesn't it? Like a final last squeeze of the toothpaste tube!

  6. Hello Robyn. That card is just amazing!!! Brilliant work. Trust your father in law really loves it.
    Great work, too, on getting more ink out of your pads. They are so pricey you just don't want to waste any...
    Thanks for visiting. Yes, I'm longing to get some plants in there and around there - got to get some more soil first, though, to build up the rockery a bit so it hides the filter box.
    Take care. God bless.
