What's on my work desk Wednesday 172

This is my desk today! I have a couple of card making magazines laying around, my recent New Baby Boy card, my lovely 'handmade by Laura' stamp that my Mum and Dad bought me a few years ago, it has stamped nearly every one of my cards and is still going strong! How do you personalise your crafts so people know you've made it?

I also have some beautiful pink and yellow roses on my desk that my lovely other half kindly bought me last week "just because", how lucky am I?

Here you can see a close up of the Lucy Cromwell decoupage I have been cutting and sticking whilst I have been watching TV recently, it's amazing how relaxing it is! Here are 4 of the designs ready to be used. They are so pretty though I don't think a card of mine will be able to do the images justice!

Hope you are all having a nice Wednesday, back to work for me tomorrow then home for the weekend :-)

Yet MORE Christmas cards

Hi everyone!

I really was on a roll last week when I made my Christmas cards, here are the last 2 from last weeks marathon. 

All items on the card were purchased from the gorgeous Pink Petticoat. These took hardly any time at all, just a case of using a couple of dies and layering on to 2 different backing papers. I have lots of these little cards to use up so these might be making an appearance again soon!

I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to all of you that have posted such lovely comments on my blog about me graduating and starting work recently, I know I don't know any of you in person but it feels like you have a real community of friends when you have a blog and your support has really been appreciated so thank you!

I started my new job yesterday and had a great day, I loved it and it felt very surreal wearing a different uniform and having a badge that said 'staff nurse' on it, I kept looking at it thinking 'that can't be me in the picture' haha.

Another christmas cute square!

Hi all,

Hi everyone, how are you?

I have had a very productive day today and made 4 Christmas cards to add to my collection, I was very motivated as I bought some gorgeous pink petticoat papers and images and my mojo was just flowing! I have made this modern Christmas card and really like the outcome so might be making more of these! My other 3 are using more traditional colours but I will share those with you in the next few days.

What's on my work desk Wednesday

Close up of my desk

The full view!

Happy Wednesday Everyone! It doesn't really feel like Wednesday, after that Bank Holiday Monday it feels like Tuesday to me! I can't get my head around it.

In the photos above you can see what's on my work desk!

I have just downloaded and printed (and still in mid-print as you can see) the Fairy Lights collection by Pink Petticoat here. I am so pleased with the papers and the images, they are just stunning!

Whilst I was waiting for these to print I had a flick through Papercraft Essentials Issue 84 as my printer is a bit sloooooow. 

On my desk I also have my latest purchase treat to myself, a gorgeous box of ribbons from Fantastic Ribbons, and they really are fantastic. I've also got my button jar on there to give me a bit of inspiration with all these gorgeous bright papers I have just printed!

LOTV Christmas Cute Square

Hi everyone,

How was your bank holiday weekend? I went home for my Dad's Birthday and we had a fabulous weekend full of giggles, bbq food and silly hats! It was a great laugh.

I have used up one of my LOTV Cute Squares for this card, I still have about 4 left out of my Christmas selection which I am hoping to use up by Christmas!

The papers were a mix of forever friends and DCWV Christmas Papers.

The ribbon was from my stash and I have used red stickles and a Christmas peel off.

One more down, four to go! Keep your eyes peeled for these being used up :-)

I would like to enter this card in to Sarns Rudolph Day Challenge!

Also, Lili's Little Fairies: Spots or Stripes, I have used both!
