Here we are! The 7th Anniversary of “What’s on
Your Workdesk Wednesday”—the fun blog hop started by Julia at The StampingGround. Hop over there to see all the
deets; but for now, co-hosted by Lunch Lady Jan…so follow the 2nd
link to get over to her fun desk.
Thank you Julia for sustaining such a fun way to break up the work week! I have met many wonderful friends both in person and on line over the years, and hope to meet many more. I also hope your surgery went well, and you have a speedy, successful recovery!!

My desk; still clean-ish; first because I didn’t want to
give away my ATC’s for the celebration; and second, because I needed room to
get acquainted with my new trimmer, from Stampin’ Up. Yes, it has the sliding
blades that normally I hate, but they seem to work pretty well; but I did buy
the additional rotary blade attachment, so we’ll get along fine! (an yes, after learning from my Fiskar’s
fiasco…I have enough replacement blades and cutting bars to last quite a few
years….just in case!)
And here is a card I made, which would have been a
nightmare on my old trimmer as I had to cut 2 windows out to overlay…my brain
hurt from the math (and I work at a Credit Union! LOL!) but the cuts went
exactly as they should. The card is a retirement card for our Association Exec.
Director. Kinda hard to tell; but I used
translucent Yupo alcohol paper (weird/cool stuff) for the dragonfly, with a
white insert that is only attached in the fold, so light can sorta show
through.
Lastly, I have just a few spare ATC’s available (every year I try to make more.../sigh), if anyone would like
to do an additional swap…just let me know!
Thanks, and have a great, creative week everyone.
love the card - have tried to cut windows in cards and it's not easy! Helen #11
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, awesome card, love the panel. It's beautiful. Your ATC arrived yesterday, thank you, its gorgeous. Yours went in the post today, I had to wait to get Hubby to take me to the post office, and it sort of has to be organised a couple of days in advance, as working nights he has to sleep,lol. Have a great week, Happy Anniversary, Hugs, Shaz #8 xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! I have used up my initial batch of ATCs but if you still have one to swap I can make another one up - email me. (I did a lot of backgrounds while I had the sprays out LOL - well if you are going to get inky........) Happy Anniversary!! Cindy #48 xx
ReplyDeleteOooh - it's me! Your swapper. I've emailed you....

Hey Kim, Thanks for swinging by, you should totally come to the Dina class it is at the Westbeth Center in the West Village on Sunday 5th May. I love your new Trimmer. I have had my beloved Dahle trimmer for 5 years now. I don't think I can ever use another kind. Happy WOYWW A Versary. Cx #55

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Glad to hear the new cutter working out. I'm getting rather tired of the Fiskar's one as it does seem to go through a lot of blades. I'm trying to be careful and use different blades for different types of papers/cardstock.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW anniversary

I am determined to get round all the desks in celebration of the fun we have with all our mad WOYWW friends so here I am! That card is stunning - there is something almost magical about dragon flies, I think. Happy 7th WOYWW anniversary - here's to many more! x Jo #19
ReplyDeletewhat a stunning card ,i love the colour tones used its beautiful .A very happy WOYW anniversray to you , I'm still playing catch up will take me days to get to everyone .looking forward to seeing your ATC's hugs andrea #6 x
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card! I have a Tonic trimmer which I love though it can give a bit of a ragged cut at times (sanding block works wonders with that) but a nice straight cut. I dislike Fiskars, too. Thanks for the visit. Hope you get to visit Cody and Red Lodge again! Happy 7th WOYWW Anniversary!

Hello Kim and happy 7th WOYWW anniversary and thanks for visiting my blog earlier.Just love the card you made truly beautiful. Not to bad my two dogs sleep almost though the night but the puppy seems to like to sleep on my pillow beside my head and I wake up stuck with him laying on my hair. He has become a pillow hog and wakes up with bed head...cute as a button to. Have a fantastic week Hugs~Anne L#3
