Its Wednesday ... and time for a very long post ... hope you've got a cuppa!! Wednesdays means its the ritual snoop round people's desks led by the amazing
Julia.
Here was my desk last night ... (sorry the pics were taken on my i-phone as I had it to hand!!)
It was a bit messy ... a card in the creating, my new stamps from Sugar Nellie (12 of them!!), my cuppa and ipad. Miffy is missing, as well she is slightly miffed as we have a new kitten ... so she is out somewhere tormenting the rodent life!!!
I got these really useful boxes that store flat and stack ... I just had to have them, but what to put in them!!
And these are the boxes stacked with stamps, images and my tools and stuff, neater than the assorted boxes that don't stack!
And here is the completed card ...
How cute is she, this is
Candy Pip from the latest Sugar Nellie release. She is coloured using my proarkers and then i cut her out and sat her on the Magnolia bench. The dp is Basic Grey Lucious, and I used a bright pnik felt tip from the girls' pen box to do the faux stitching. The flowers are a mix from my stash, the ribbon was from the lovely Elaine, and the sentiment is by Craftwork Cards.

CRAFT challenge - gardening
A Spoonfull of Sugar - sewing

And another card I made ...
And this cutie is
Snow Buddies, again from the latest Sugar Nellie release. I coloured it using my copics and then glittered, glimmered and fluffy stuffed it. The dp is Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses and I created the flowers using my Marianne Creatible die, and added some punched snowflakes. The ribbon is from the aforementioned Elaine.

The boxes will be really useful. Great cards.
Love the Candy Pip card - I see you've left the tiniest white border when you cut her out; I really liked that, it makes the image pop. Might try it myself if you don't mind!

Good lord, how many of those stamps do you have? Candy Pip is cute - lovely card. Your idea of a messy desk doesn't match mine!

These boxes are really useful. Specially because you can stack them on each other. Love your cards with the new Sugar Nellie stamps. They are gorgeous.

Very cute cards, I especially like the Christmas one.
Cute cards. I need storage boxes, too. I also need space to put those boxes...
Cards are very sweet. Not sure about the boxes :) I am all boxed out round here - too many, stacked too high!
But have fun organizing - on my to do list today as well.
