What's on your workdesk wednesday - A bit of a mess

Now when I say a bit of a mess TBH I'm lying.  A bit of a mess would imply you could see my desk!!

Right what you see??  Well you can see the unfinished Lady dog scrapbook that must be finished by Sunday as  it's my Mother's day present for my Mum.

A Lili of the Valley stamped card, big card candy store, I out grew the one they used to sell so had to upgrade, and my netbook that usually sits on my envelopes drawer that I pull out to rest it on as there's never much space to actually put it on my desk.

Right I'm off to check up on some forums and then I really must do more scrapbook pages plus the front and back cover.

What's on your workdesk wednesday & my latest circle journal entry

Evening everyone.  After having a big argument with my printer I got some photos printed off for this months circle journal entry.  Not as good a quality as I would have liked but at least it printed some photos.

This months circle journal is called Countryside Seasons.  We have to show our local countryside in our favourite season.

My photos are of Crimble, where I walk my dogs, in the winter.

I think the PP is a dovecraft one, the large snowflakes are punched on my Xcut cut & emboss snowflake punch and the small ones are cut using my Martha Stewart snowflake corner punch.

The lettering was cut on my robo using the snap ITC font.

The journalling was also wrote by my robo and thought it probably doesn't show I used my robo to draw a snowflake using my clear sakura stardust pen.

The photograph doesn't do my layout justice it looks much better in real life.

Now onto my untidy desk.

The grey washbag actually holds my sakura pens.  The box next to my cj layout is my precious self adhesive gems box.  I love gems and sparkle.  The rectangle box infront of my cj is my box of loose gems.

Before you all start thinking I've taken to drinking, what looks like a jack daniels label next to my sloping desk is not actually a bottle of jack daniels its a neoprene glass holder so you're hands don't get cold on the iced drink.  I use for a camera case as we havn't got round to buying a case for it.

Anything else you want to know, just ask.

Have a good evening,

Hugs

Whats on your workdesk? Wednesday 69

Well what a mess.......

I don't know what's going on but there's not enough hours in the day.  Tomorrow it is my turn to host our crop and I am on the last minute again.  

On my desk you can see my printed and heat embossed tiddly inks images.  These will be on one of the cards tomorrow.

To the right of the coloured image you can see my new tidy pot that my wonderful Dad carved for me this week.

Talking of my Dad, today he took me into Manchester city centre to collect my bargain desk I won on ebay.  Haven't seen it properly yet as I had to stay with the landrover while the desk was loaded into the cattle trailer.

I've also sold my corner settee and will have enough money to get my ikea expedit 5x5 unit and the alex drawers.  I can't wait to get my craft area set up.

Off to watch tv and cuddle my doggies.

Hugs to everyone and thanks for dropping on by,

What's on your workdesk wednesday & Dad does it again

What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 71

Just a quick post today as my backs playing up.  

A couple of weeks ago I asked my lovely Dad if could make me some storage for my 12x12 papers and he delivered it today.  I had seen it in pieces in his workshop but didn't expect it to be as good as it is.  It holds 10 different lots of papers on sloping shelves as well as having a level storage bit at the bottom.  It is brilliant and would have cost quite a bit if I'd had to buy something like it. He also made me the sloping desk to left hand side so that I don't bend over when colouring and aggravate my back problems. 

I've just been sorting papers out after a big tidy up so that's all that's on my workdesk today.  And before any of you ask no you can't adopt my Dad to make you craft storage and other wood related items as he's too busy making stuff for me and Mum!

Tiddly Ink challenge card & What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday (69)

Hello everyone.  I will apologise in advance if there are spelling mistakes, but I've got one hell of a headache.

First off my tiddly ink card.

Challenge 23: Diamond glaze/Crackle accent

Happy fall everyone! We have a great new challenge for you this week.
 I know I had fun with it. :)
We are all about cards and projects with crackle finishes and diamond glazes this week, and you can see some great examples from the design team below.

Pick your favorite Tiddly Inks image and create using diamond glaze or a crackle finish (I have a freebie crackle design paper in our PCP group this week) and link your card by next Monday night at 10 PM CST.

I don't have any diamond glaze or crackle finish but i think Anitas 3d gloss finish is the same thing-ish.

Its my friends birthday today and so i chose sealed with.

Im not a cat person but this cat is just too cute to sit in the shop.

I already had him coloured in with my promarkers and his nose and eyes are shiney thanks to the clear gloss and so hes simply layered up onto blue card that ive used one of my martha stewart punch around the pages on.

He is then layered up onto the card base and the edge of the card is edged with anitas glitterations in silver.  The inside said of all possessions a friend is the most precious.

Don't forget to check out the tiddly inks store on friday for lots of new images and a big sale.

Its now Thursday.  Blogger didn't want me to upload any photos yesterday so here I am.

My desk is not as tidy as last week even though I've hardly crafted this week.

On the paper trimmer are my new sizzix christmas embossing folders.
A really nice set for christmas cards but also the large can be used all year round as its just large circles.
I got it from country view crafts here and they were also doing free p&p.

If you look closely you will also see my pee-wee glitters.  I bought a set of 6 different lots but have decided only to keep three so if my friend doesn't want them they will be going on ebay tonight.

Off for a bit of crafting,
H xx  

Whats on your workdesk? Wednesday 68

This is my first WOYWW post.

The photo I've taken tonight was after a BIG clear up so I'm not normally this tidy.

I don't have a craft room, its on my wish list along with so many other things.

I use our dining table and store my stuff on my lovely bookshelves.

Mike works 5 days a week 3pm til midnight so we don't get a chance to eat at the table so my stuff can stay there permanently

The sloping desk was made by my lovely Dad so that when I'm colouring I'm not bending forward very much and therefore easing my back.

On my desk are my latest tiddly inks that I bought last night and my lovely FIL printed for me tonight and even delivered them to me in the rain!  We only live 3 streets away for Mikes family.

The stuff hanging from my desk are actually cutlery racks that Dad has fixed to the side of my desk. They were about £3 each and with one of the dividers snipped out are the perfect size for embossing folders and peeloffs.

The top shelf holds my big shot and my cinch. Under that is my storage chest that i store my promarkers.  The next shelf down has all sorts inc my purple box of punches,.  And finally the bottom shelf has my 12x12 papers and my purple box of stamps.

Today has been my first class at the gym.  Me & Mum went to zumba.  An exercise class to Latin music.  It was fun and we've booked again for next week.  I'm off there again in the morning to do an aqua aerobics class.

I can't always do the movements the rest are doing and I do sometimes miss whole sections out but at least I'm exercising.

EXCITING NEWS

Mum & Dad have paid for me to go to onto Introduction to copic ciao class in November as my Christmas present.

I'm really excited about it as I love to colour, I find it so relaxing.

Thats it for now,thanks for stopping by,

Hugs
