WOYWW #371

Hello everyone and it's Wednesday so is is desk peeking time and if you are new to this pop over to Lunch Lady Jan's site as she is leading the pack while our dear Julia is recovering from surgery. Have fun and join in to a desk hop every Wednesday to see what such creative friends are up to.

Well to my desk or I should more say desks as I taken up two this last week. Okay here is a snap shot of desk one......

 

Well I have almost finished the mini album just decorating the front cover which is seeming to take its sweet time as I am not exactly sure what to put on it. When I am completely finished I will post up detailed pictures. and to the left is the paper pad and coloured distressed paper I used. So basicly it sitting on my main desk so if I do come up with an idea it is ready to finish.Now to desk two....

Here is my summer challenge I am doing at the local scrapbooking store which entails making eight 12x12 layouts for the for July and August. I did make a post earlier which has a detailed list of the items I received in my kit.Here is the link if you want to see all the items  http://craftyandjustsweetcreations.blogspot.ca/2016/07/summer-challenge-2016.html

As you can see I have started one of the layouts not yet finished but when I am finished but it is a camping layout. I do have some ideas started for other layouts as they are piling up in the top left hand corner not sure I will use them all but am having fun with my Cricut cutting things out when I have a minute here and there. In the mini photo case is he embellisments that came in the kit so not to get mixed up with other things that float around my desk and I did pick up a few wood shapes that I might use on them also ....who knows at this point but once this one is done 7 left to go.

Yes and I also received some mail my ATC from Sue Jone from the WOYWW anniversary swap which is gorgeous love the hand pained flower must remember to ask her what she used to colour it in I love the vibrant colors and the shine to it. The left is a pocket letter from my sister Nikki Halloween style and it was a great surprise from here and I know it isn't a true pocket letter and there is no note but really where sister and no letter required besides two extra pockets for goodies.lol

There flip side of the pocket letter which holds one set of coloured images I so love of hers and a few extra blank stamped out ones for me to colour. I am not the best at colour in images but practice makes perfect....maybe.

There it is seemed to be a tad longer post then I thought it would be there goes my keep it quick. I will try to hop to as many desks as I can but I am doing a few things around the house before my sister in law and her family shows up thrusday to stay with us for a bit and then I work in the afternoon so I am sorry if I don't get around to everyone but will I will try my best to get to as many as I can. Also I would like to say thank you to everyone who popped by last week and left comments for me and it trully brighten my day 😎. Have a fantastic WOYWW everyone and a wonderful week.

If you don't know what it is all about head over to Lady Jan's blog http://lunchladyjansfabricfrenzy.blogspot.ca to join up as she is hosting while Julia is recovering from surgery http://stamping-ground.blogspot.ca

Okay to now what you have come for a peek of my desk but I am working from the kitchen table Tuesday night as I have my stuff in a bin to take with me to work. I am glad to say I am so close to to being done and I will post pictures of it all when done. 

Also I did receive in the mail a ATC from Andrea from WOYWW anniversary swap and she enclosed it in a card with a few extra goodies. I do so love the die cut of the butterfly and glad it arrived before the Canada post gets locked out this Friday.

My days are filled with cleaning our camper and house getting ready for family to come next Wednesday or Thursday when they arrive. I will hope around to as many desks today as I can before I am off to work and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who stopped by last week leaving me such wonderful comments and appreciate each one greatly. 

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

WOYWW. #369

Well it is already that time again to show my desk and here it is ....

I have once again gotten back to the album I was working on awhile ago wanting to finish it up I hope this week to start on some new projects. Also I finished the challenge layout from last week for the local scrapbook store and here are a few pictures one of the whole layout and a few close ups. 

This is the hand drawn tv I made which I love retro look of it and am trying to draw up a template to post if anyone wants to use it for a layout. So that is coming soon I hope. This is a super short post today as my keyboard is charging for my I pad and it isn't easy to working like this.

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who stopped bye last week and commented I really appreciate everyone's kind words. I will try to get to as many blogs hopping around before work and have been busy as family is coming for a visit and lots to do before the arrive. Have a wonderful Wednesday to everyone and do what makes you happy😀🤗😀

It is Wednesday and it is time to have a quick glimpse at my desk with things I have been doing. I would of liked to have finished more this weekend but things happened and didn't have the crafting days I wanted. But I guess that does happen......... 

Here is me my new challenge layout I am working on for the local scrapbook store. As soon as I saw the  ephemera and paper I thought of a T.V playing video games. So I wasn't sure how the television should look and decided to draw one out using a light wood grain paper like back in the day. I did fussy cut out from the scrap paper a few robots to fill in the empty space. You can see my hand made template in the left corner. The black letters I am using for the title which I haven't decided on yet but  I need to get done before the end of the month. As soon as I have finished I will post the completed layout. 

Here is the other table I have been working at or bringing up the paper to sit at the kitchen table to be closer to the puppy and the back door until he is better house trained. I went to Micaels and picked up  another large photo case holder to I could hold all the little pieces ready to use. in the right corner I have started stamping out and cutting a few sets of the Tim Hotlz mini bird set for my sister not sure I will have enough time to finish it before Canada post strikes crossing fingers they don't. I am glad my sister birthday parcel arrived as it isn't late but excited she got it as it has been eight years since we last where in the same room together, but glad she liked everything. To the right is the pile of paper I still plan to fussy cut out. 

I did finish something this week these paper camera paper clips which where cut out on my Cricut some time ago and found them in my to finish bin I forgot about. So I glued them to paper clips and added them into my mini album book I made just after last year from a tutorial on line from a video on you tube (couldn't find the video to in how to make the book will look it down if anyone wants to make one for themselves) will still look for it but I can hear a thunder storm rolling in again and had problems last week with the rain storms we had losing internet at times. 

Want to also say thank you to everyone who visited and commented last week. Have a spectacular week everyone and thank you for stopping to take a peek.

Hugs ~Anne 😋

For what you stopped by for my desk and not much as you can see is happening....

I put aside the mini album which is waiting to be finished but I Have cleaned up some of that bomb explosion I had last week and am almost finished. Yippie 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂 The biggest thing I did finish is off in the mail heading to my sister is here birthday box of goodies. The only real thing was after watching a few fun tutorials on you tube and surfing Pinterest I ransacked my paper to find sheets I can cut apart and make my own ephemera. So I can take a few sheets and sit, cut and maybe watch a movie since I don't have a television downstairs makes the time pass. I took a quick snap of some paper I found that seems like it will work.

I can not believe it is Wednesday already and you know what that means....desk hopping time.
Head over to Jan sites to where she is hosting while Julia is recovering from surgery.

If you would like to hop over to Julia's and I am wishing her all the best thought this time.
Julia's blog

I can not believe that it is Wednesday already as last week seemed to be busy with both my dogs getting sick and our little new puppy isn't 100% better yet so my time has been with them.

Not much from last week as I am still working on finishing up the mini album I started. To the left I am using recollections distressed colour paper and the spray bottle above is vellum adhesive. I still have out the mini Prima dolls which I haven't found a home for since making my ATC for the WOYWW anniversary swap and in the clear plastic photo container are the bits and pieces that match the paper collection so they stay in one place without getting lost. The rest of my room looks like a bomb went off in it as I am finishing up my sisters birthday box and have boxes of my destash craft items I need time to post up for sale.  Oh and the box of tea that has been sitting on top of one of my ink pad storage for pocket letters that I have put aside and hope to get back to and finish up.

Time to try and get around to as many desks as I can and would like to say thank you to everyone who took the time to stop and leave me such great comments. Have a wonderful day😎

Hugs ~Anne
