WOYWDW

Well it's Wednesday again so that means it's time for us all to show our creative spaces. I haven't managed to get all I wanted to be done this week but am getting there. As you will see underneath my desk is a bit boring today so I thought I would show you the cupboard above that's behind me when I sit at my desk. It needs some shelves putting up so I can move most of the stuff that sits outside the cupboard in. The basket at the front is where I keep my completed cards, The blue box is embellishments, The Christmas bag keeps Christmas craft things (original hey) and the box at the back is kits. I could put alot more in here but then I have to rifle through things which just bugs me. So I am putting shelves up. My desk is rather boring today I am in the middle of a mini book of the boys (have yet to add photos). I am making some birthday cards this afternoon that's why the cartridges are on the desk. I really need to stop doodling on my mat though......

If you love looking at peoples desks have a nose over at Julia's blog (stamping ground) in my sidebar where loads of people link up.

Take care

Mothers day

Happy Mothers day to all you mums out there!!! We have had a lovely day here the boys bought me breakfast in bed, and then my parents came down for lunch. This is the mothers day card I made for my mum. The papers are from a K&co pad I think. Have a busy week here my top 10 book needs to be completed and I have a Lo I want to get finished. My close friend has just started a blog http://caesarscrafts.blogspot.com/ please pop over and say hello as she has just started scrapping and has really caught the bug. Take care Laura x

LO's I did at the crop

Thank you so much for your comments on my desk. I have to say it is all clean and tidy now, I wonder how long that will last?? I haven't used those papers yet they have been put away for another project I am doing. Here are the LOs I completed on Saturday at the Ludgershall crop. This is my son Jack sorry I couldn't get a good photo. It's about a bruise he had when we went on holiday. If you click on the photo you should be able to read the journalling.

This is my other two children with their cousin George. This is my mum and I on my wedding day.

Sorry I don't know which papers I used on them.

I am in the process of writing a list. Two friends and I are making a mini book each on our 'list' you know the top 10 blokes you would........... I am having serious trouble just trying to get the list down to 10 lol.

Have a fab weekend

It's been a while sorry life gets in the way unfortunately. Well here is my desk in all it's glory........ I have remains from the DCM card challenge, a LO in progress and some journalling. At the crop on Saturday Julia really made me think about journalling. She said ' if you have to stand behind someone when they are going through your album and explain the photos you know your not doing enough journalling' - well something like that anyway. It has really made me look at my work. In my earlier albums I did alot more journalling so that is my mission from now on to write more. (don't expect the next few posts to have any though as they have already been done). Anyway my desk...

Please go and check Julias blog Stampin ground in my sidebar and go have a nosey at everyone elses desks.

Snow LO and swine flu

Well it's been a busy week here and I had a post planned for every day but life got in the way. My ds 3 jack has had swine flu and has hardly slept this week so I have been walking round with my head up my arse not even knowing which day it is lol I was sure yesterday was Friday?!?!? Anyway thank you for all of the lovely coments on my Valentines LO. Here is another LO I did at the crop it was a challenge set by Julia (stampin ground) it was to use Christmas photos and use this sketch which I am pretty sure in saying it's a Basic Grey one. I didn't use Christmas photos I did snow ones (obviously) from the snow in January.

Sorry can't remeber the papers I used but the lettering is Basic Grey, chipbard cosmo cricket and the snowflakes were cut out on the cutttlebug.

Take care

Valentine LO

Well on Saturday I went to the Ludgershall crop and had a fab time. Julia from stampin ground has more info on the crop (in my sidebar). I managed to get loads done so I have many pictures to show you this week. This is a valentines LO of my hubby. I have 3 boys so pink isn't my usual colours to scrap in but I loved the papers. They are a mix of Making memories and My minds eye.

Cards

Thank you so much for all of the comments on my last post. The box is on Splitcoast stampers and you just look at the downloads section of the forum. Here are some basic cards I have made to build my stash of cards up. This pink one is stamped (it's getting addictive Julia) using a papermania stamp that was free on one of their magazines.This one is using a autumn leaves stamp I think.

Have managed quite a bit of crafting later so have loads to share with you over the next few days.

Thanks for visiting
