WOYWW 90

ITS WEDNESDAY!!
That can mean only one thing a big hop around the world nosey at peoples desks
thanks to the addictive blog of Julia
If you do not know what I am on about pop over to
 Stamping Ground and join in the fun
Well as you can see not a lot happening on my workdesk this week
Theres a box that my daughter had some smellies in for Christmas
and its just the right size to store A5 card in - so I think I will look to change it first
These picture have been taken Tuesday but nothing as change as I am work all day Wednesday

In answer to some questions:

Yes I am pleased with my cordless glue gun although I do seem to be getting through batteries

My challenge book looks neat because I use off cuts of paper in my printer to print the sketches
then I trim them and stick them in (did warn you I was an OCD crafter)

And yes I am tidy everywhere not just my desk lol

Now this is why my desk has nothing on it as I am busy cutting out mats for my friends
wedding cards so I am in the conservatory with my laptop and craft robo
So you can see some folded card in the background
Some ribbon to make the bows
Next to the ribbon is a little pot with hearts I have already cut out on the craft robo
My cup of hot chocolate (I don't drink tea or coffee)
You can also see my can of spray mount as my craft robo mat is really past its best
I have printed some of the pictures and cut them using my nestabilities
Then because I like the mats to be a close fit (see OCD again)
I have used a template on the craft robo to cut the same shape just slightly bigger
Hence why my book of nestabilities is also on my table
Finally there is my challenge book as I was adding new challenges to it.
Below is a picture of an example of the finished invitation - the proper ones will have a smaller ribbon 



If you have taken the time to read all the way down to here thank you
and have a great week
We hopefully manage to get round everyone again but it does take me a few evening

Love the wedding invite, very elegant. I need to work at keeping my workdesk that neat, its a much better environment to craft in.

Angie said...

Love that card ...I like the split stamped matted area.

SueH said...

Oh my Nicky, you’ve been busy.
You make me feel guilty when you say how you use your craft robo. Mine has been banished to the cupboard and has been there for some time because I just couldn’t get to grips with it. I really should persevere with it I know but I’m more inclined to get rid of the thing.

I love the picture on the wedding invites, it looks hand drawn

Happy Crafting.

Gorgeous card Nicky. Everything is so neat and tidy in your craft area. I also have a sketch book that I stick printed sketches into. I put a copy of the card I make with the sketch so I can see what it looks like 'made up!"

#31 here Nicky. We should have given a prize for guessing our WOYWW picture - Yep, it was from the seat in the airplane hence the very strange "workdesk". See ya next week!

Mrs A. said...

Labels on all your little drawers!!
Do you know my husband cos he has full blown OCD. I vacumed and laid the rug on top nice and neat and even laid the fringe out but what did hubby do when he came home? Thank me? Like heck he picked the rug straight up and then relaid it! Why? Cos the flowers wern't facing North,South, East or West!!!!!

Great post Nicky. I LOVE the wedding invite, what a great idea to have ribbon tied around it.

You're very naughty because I've just gone and bought 5 digi stamps from Pollycraft because of you!!
