WOYWW and Izzy's Card

Having a quick break from my current project to add my photos for today's Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday - if you haven't a clue what I'm talking about look in the sidebar you'll find the WOYWW link to Julia's blog and all will be revealed.  It would be great if you'd join in.

So here's what my desk looked like first thing this morning

A couple of almost-finished cards for a commission - I'm still considering whether they need a bit more added before they're ready to bag up and send, then there's some other bits for the project I'm working on today.  The little "pizza" box at the front contains flowers from the latest Creative Treasures flower kit which arrived yesterday - I knew I'd find a use for that box if I kept it long enough!  It's just the right size for the large size blooms, which of course means it's good for other sizes too!  The bag you can see holds other things from the kit; ribbons, charms, buttons and pins.  I've already been using some of the kit - one of the almost finished cards has pink and purple flowers and ribbons on it - give me a day or two and I'll share proper pics of those cards.  There might just be a few squares of chocolate there too. ;-)

I thought I'd add a couple of extra photos today, so here are the top two drawers of my desk - with the little ink pads, Stickles, ribbons etc that I need close to hand.

I mentioned a couple of days ago that it was my niece's birthday on Sunday so today I'm adding photos of the card I made for her - I'll save the book and the cheque holder I made for another day as it's all getting a bit photo-heavy here today!

I added pretty papers to the inside too, so that it can stand up an alternative way

The papers are the fabby MME "Breaking Free" which I go back to time and time again as the colours and designs are so delicious.  In fact I'm already on my second set and running low on those!

I made these flowers using Lokta paper - one day I'll get round to putting a tutorial on here to show how to make them

Right, my tummy is screaming "lunchtime" at me so I'd best go and make some toast!

Will be around later to see the contents of all the desks today and to see what projects are on the go this week.

Thanks for visiting - please don't move on without letting me know you called by!
