Happy WOYWW Everyone! That is short for “What’s on Your
Workdesk Wednesday”, the brilliant blog hop initiated by our lovely hostess,
Julia at The Stamping Ground….and you can see all the deets there.
OK, I’m nothing if not persistent! Today’s desk is a continuation of the last 3
weeks. And you can see a progression from mass destruction through ”making it
work” to enlightenment….sort of…getting there…
You see, I received my new Sizzix shipment with the
backing pieces for my Pop and Cuts Butterfly die, oh , and I also got the Pop
and Cut’s Label Die…And I’ve got them all working now, only to find out that
you really need a much stiffer card than 65#, especially when using DI stains
and other wetter mediums! See,
enlightenment…next week will be perfect!
What is left about after my flurry of craftyness? What was to be my Sister In Law’s BDay card, but which will now be redone on
double weight cardstock. The parts that will be layered on
the flippy part are sitting on top of an ink pad up by the cleaner and diamond
glaze bottles. You can see my first
attempt on the right, but my stain marbling didn’t work as well. Yes, Hettie, those are my messy ink sponges
on the side, and one of the stencils I used up above the mat..cool numbers,
perfect for a birthday card. Oh, and
stacked to the left, starting with the cattail stamp, are my new Northwoods
Stamps, and at the bottom out of sight…a husky puppy litter!!! Just wait to you see it!!

And there is a scrap top left, and the black rubber
stamp, which is one of the limited edition cat stamps from Magenta…which I used
for my Brothers BDday card. I did take a
picture of that…so here it is;Not very "guy-ey" but he likes cats, and the saying fits his cat. And next week I’ll show my Mother in Law’s BDay
card, which I forgot to take a picture of, as well as the Redux II from the
pieces you see.
So, there it
is…now go stop by Julia’s and hop around the world to other great desks! Happy
Crafting everyone.
Have fun with your new supplies.

Yes, you are always on my list to swap with automatically! Love your desk and the cat card. Marmalade has just stalked off out the house after breakfast! I agree that you need a decent weight card to mess with inks on as it curls and does its thing otherwise.

I love that cat card...the saying is so true! But what caught my eye most of all was the glorious Celtic knot work background...goodness but I love that! I have many books on knot work patterns, I find them fascinating :-)
