Its Wednesday and time to snoop over at the lovely
Julia's and have a nosey round everyone's desks. This si a bit of a long post so you want to grab a coffee, or cuppa!! ...
Here is my desk this morning (well last thing last night) ...
Work in progress ...
A Christmas card on the go. I have used my Go Kreate dies to cut the cards out, and I am paper peicing the LOTV image. Not sure what will go on the other.
This is what the other half of my room looks like ...
yep, hubby is well and trully ensconced in MY craft room isn't he!
Oh and here are my baskets of ribbon .. .they are rather full .. .I loves me ribbon ;)
And onto a couple of cards ...
Here is Tilda looking very pretty in her glittery dress. I masked her and stamped the Magnolia window behind. The imags are coloured in using my promarkers. The dp is K & CO Charlotte, and I have distressed all the cardstock and papers using my TH distresser and vintage photo ink. I stamped a LOTV additions stamp onto craft, distressed it and inked it. Finally some raffia lace and flowers, and stickled tiara and dress. I am going to send this to a friend who has a birthday soon.
Challenges:
Just Magnolia - anything goes + stitching
Allsorts - 3 differerent stamps
One Stop Crafts - birthday
Die Cuts Challenge - Princess Birthday
Stamp with Fun - sketch
How can a card go so wrong???!!!!! Having stamped this fab House Mouse Gerinimo, I coloured it with prismas .. going well so far, then sorted out the dp and cardstock .. still ok ... and then stuck the image on upside down ...doh, doh DOH!!!!! So I have had to rotate it!! Not sure what the dp is, but the flowers are from WIld Orchid Crafts, the organza ribbon from my stash and the punch is a Martha Stewart one. I am going to crawl under a stone somewhere LOL!!
PS this is suposed to be for my Mum as a thank you for having the girls ... do you think she will notice?!!!
CHallenges:
House Mouse and Friends - May Flowers
Wild Orchid Challenges - sketch + Mum's are special

Beautiful cards - I don't think your mom will notice, honestly. I sometimes do dumb things like that, so you're not alone. And did I read this correct, Christmas card??? Really?

I thinkthe 'wrong' card is actually, just right! Love it, very fresh too. I like the idea of sharing my room with my DH...and be honest - he's not taking up a lot of your space, huh!!
I need you to come and doctor my ribbons...great vintage tones on your card and it will be gladly appreciated.

Lovely workspace you have! Love the cards you made and would not have noticed its 'upside down' if youi didn't tell. Funny how things like that can bug us to distraction, while nobody else seems to notice.
Happy WOYWW
