It has been a while since I visited the Stamping Ground for a peek at all the workdesks around the world . I thought it would be fun to visit today! For more info on "What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday" check out Julia's blog. I have a different work area now--I moved in October and am still working on setting everything up.
I have been making Valentines for the "Cards from the Heart" card drive organized by Winter-see her blog for info. The cards go to hospitalized children on Valentine's day. I have 55 cards ready to go out. Here is my desk and table while the work is in progress. I have a new Ott light that works quite well. The paint brushed were for some other project and did not get put away. I am trying out different ribbons with the papers. The tea cut has a tissue with essential oils on it so my work area smells good. LOL
The little white tags get stamped later and have ribbon added at the top. I did not end up using the paper doilies on this design.
Paper selection going on here.
Thought it would be fun to die cut some felt. I did use these on some CAS Valentines. I will be posting all the cards though out this month and next. Here is a sneak peek at the cards.
Well, I am off to check out the workdesks!! Check back later for a full post on one of the Valentines card. Hope you are having a great day! We are getting snow and cold temperatures. Just the perfect day to stay inside and do a little blogging! I must go make some coffee before I do one more thing! See you soon! Love ya
Karen

AHHH! I finally found you. I'm having trouble getting my head around Valentines so close after Christmas. Guess I should, though. Looks like your die cutter is hard at work, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting while I slept. I tell people this is CRAFT room equipment and to keep it separate from kitchen equipment. I also point out they wouldn't put gesso in their soup, so it stands to reason they keep these things separate. Happy WOYWW from #2.
Hi Karen, Loving your beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy WOYWW

Lovely colours going on. Stay warm - it's very cold here in Michigan and snowy. I'm in Kalamazoo. Still wondering how/why I ended up here lol. Beautiful state but very cold in winter

ReplyDeleteFifty-five cards.
ReplyDeleteYou know that's a LOT of cards, right? No, wait, that's all in a day's play for Miss Karen! (You already know I'm impressed by your card making!)
Happy WOYWW, Karen!

My favourite would have to be the felted hearts and elegant script.... although they are all so pretty. Have a lovely week.
