What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday?

worldwide woywwHi there this afternoon as I join in to share a pic of my desk with the WOYWW#344 post.  Julia hosts this crazy post every week and if you'd like to join in pop over to her blog and read all about it.
This week I've been playing along with Inspired by Stamping 30 day challenge on FB.  So this is my desk this afternoon after finishing my 'penguin' page. I use those plastic stamp packaging as my paint pallets, and there's my stack of masks I needed to make this page and my paint brushes and water jar. I think I might also need to turn over a new page on my work pad..  Following are pics of the pages I've made so far...just quick works with no procrastinating .

Thanks to all who popped by last week, now to enjoy my cuppa and check out some desks today.

What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday - week 343

worldwide woywwOh wow it's been quite a while since my last WOYWW post, just been busy and not at my desk.
So here's a pic of my desk this afternoon...yep I've not been there today either... but... I have been out at my friend Vikki's for a session today - a well needed escape from the house and some me time.
I made a few cards, and have been experimenting with some Distress Ink backgrounds for silhouette images. 
And here's a few others I created for some blog challenges that I still need to post.
As this is the last Wednesday for 2015, I'd like to wish you all a Very Happy New Year and may 2016 be a healthy, safe and prosperous one for you and your families... and hope to see you on WOYWW, sharing you desks, mess and creative projects.  Cheers

What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday?

So I've missed a few weeks posting to Julia's world wide "share a pic of your desk, Wednesday"
Here's my desk today... I haven't been to the craftavan for any card making for ages and as my absences is due to our daughter presenting us with a beautiful little grand daughter last Thursday, I figured I'd best make some time to create a Baby Girl card...you'd think I'd have been prepared having had 9 months to attend to this (and with them knowing they were having a girl), but no - too busy with a 2 year old birthday and helping with preparations with the nursery set up and digging in my garden.
On my work pad you can see I'm fashioning a baby dress card (see little pencil sketch) and deciding what colour to make the card.  At the back are some cards in progress.  Now I've just discovered I've left my guillotine at our daughter home...so of course that won't be a bother to collect tomorrow - as I'll get to see baby Mia again and have more cuddles...isn't she just the cutest baby
Thanks for dropping by my desk, why not pop over to Julia's blog and join in the fun. Do hope you have a wonderful week. Cheers

What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday?

worldwide woyww Week 333, What's On Your Workdesk, Today..... a fun blogging group who share what's happening in their crafty lives....lovely Julia is the hostess - so if you'd like to know more pop over to her blog and join in.


Here's what's being created on my desk today.... it is darling gd Sophies second birthday coming up Monday so I'm making her a card.  The party is on Saturday and the theme is Giggle and Hoot - the ABC kids show....she loves it.
Her mum has used those owls at the back to create party hats that the children can colour in when they arrive.  I googled to find out more about Hootabella and drew up a paper mock-up to get the sizing and colours. And then I set about making the card.....
WEELLLAH ... the finished card !!!
Hope you've had a great creative week, thanks for taking a peek

What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday?

Hi there on this fine sunny day in Queensland Australia...how are you enjoying the weather in your part of the world?  Of course I'm here today with a photo of the events happening on my desk for the WOYWW 332 - wondering what I'm on about then visit our hostess Julia's blog to read all about it and join in the fun.  I've missed a few weeks lately and missed being at my desk and blogging too with so much happening at our place since our move back into our home. We're cheering today as our house extension/renovations plans are with the engineers for approval, so there is some slow progress - we have the plans with a few builders who are working on quotes...so it's still a waiting game.  I have found a few hours yesterday and today to make a couple of cards - you can see todays card on my desk and the makings scattered around.  At the back I've a finished card and my next task will be to use the die cut remnants to make another...had to remember to collect all those little bits from the die before they got swept into the bin.  I've a few hours of peace and quiet just now so I'm off to visit some crafty workdesks....have a fabulous week Cheers

What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday?

worldwide woywwWeek 329 at WOYWW.... unsure what this phenomena is about please pop over to our hostess Julia's blog to read all about it - we simply love to show off our crafty messes and go visit other desks for some love and inspiration.   
Here's my desk early this morning - have been finding it tricky to find some time in the craftavan lately and as I'm an early riser and felt the creative juices to finish making my patchwork "quilt" cards for our ABC tag/card project, I was down there with  my cuppa in a flash with the sun just rising and the birds chirping.  I quite enjoy making these cards using up those many scraps I hoard and definitely needed the Ott-Lite. 
 My finished card fronts... do need a sentiment for the left one but that will wait till I'm ready to use it.
Thanks for dropping by, I'm off now to check out some desks....enjoy your week

What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday??

Hi and welcome to my desk or rather minute table in my craftavan this fine Wednesday.
Today I am attempting to find some mojo to finish this floral card - I watercoloured it with distress inks a couple of days ago...you can see the blobs of ink on the right - they never quite dry so I leave them on the plastic sheet and then lightly mist them when I'm ready to colour again...sometimes there's lot of blobs and I wet them lots and make backgrounds. I have some shades of blue card out trying to match it for some layered backgrounds and then at the back I've got out my new Darkroom Door Happy Birthday sentiment set to use on the card. It's quite dark in the van so I definitely need my Ott-Lite.  Thanks for taking an interest today, I'm posting and then off to visit some other desks via Julia's Stampin' Ground blog - check it out too and join in if you're new and wondering what I'm on about. Cheers

What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday?


There is nothing going on at my desk this Wednesday - but you can see that I have unpacked all my gear from the car and set it up in the caravan...this will be my temporary craft space till the renovations on the house are done.
My inks are on the top of the cupboards along with boxes of the incidentals one uses. And then along the sink area is my cuttlebug and box of dies, heat gun, guillotine, and boxes of clear stamps. The table is just big enough for me to work with my pad and Ott-lite - so I'm set ready to go. There is a blue card there I did make early on Tuesday ....

but today I have had a wonderful time with our daughter and grand daughter at the North Queensland Aquarium - ReefHQ, the world's largest living coral reef aquarium
Want to join in and share a pic or two of your crafty space then pop over to Julias blog and read all about.  I'm off to make a cuppa and check out some desks...thanks to everyone who visited last week and apologies for my lack of comments - I'm back on track now. Cheers

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday??

worldwide woyww
Week  325 at What's On Your Workdesk today???
Here's my desk this morning at 6:30... very empty - just my laptop with me getting ready to post  and my note for tasks to be completed today before the removalists arrived.
They did at 6:40 and all packed by 10am, and hubby and I made a last minute decision at 8am to pack the cars, finish the clean up and hit the road.  We got away at 1pm and have stopped half to overnight so I can get a break from the 9 1/2 hour drive.
Here's the back seat of my car...3 crates of stamping gear also the boot is full - crazy aren't I.
So excited to be started another chapter in our lives and hopefully our last move and a more settled life nice and close to our family... we have a house in Townsville, Queensland, Australia
Want to know why I'm raving on - all the details are on Julia's Stamping Ground blog.
I might not get to visit too many desks today but maybe over the weekend I'll find time, so have a wonderful week blogger friends and thanks for dropping by
