WOYWW 256
Good morning! It is time for What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday! Check out all the desks at Julia's Stamping Ground. I have been scrapping or at least planning pages for this week-end's Virtual Scrapbook Night at Splitcoast Stampers. You can see the pages in the planning stage on my desk, and even some that I did last Sunday. I am using some BoBunny paper that I have had in my stash for a couple of years, or longer than that! About time I used it. My cup of tea is sitting there and also, the phone. I have it on speaker and am talking to my GF as I am taking the photo. See those doily die cuts? Or attempts? The good one was cut on my GF's Big Shot. I guess my Big Shot isn't tight enough. I will have to add shims to make it cut right. Anyone else have problems with the SU! doily die? Please tell me what you do. I am giving you two views. :)

Isn't it funny how it can take us so long to use our papers?? Looks like a nice long space to scrapbook, it's nice to have room to lay things out.

the mess.)
We all love our papers so we don't like to use them :-) For that doily die, that thing is a nightmare LOL!! If you don't get all the pieces punched out when it goes through the big shot, you have to do it manually with a paper piercer....one of my customers bought it & that's been our experience. Very frustrating so I was extremely happy to see a surprise in the new catalog :-)
Whole lot of scrappin' going on!!!
thanks for stopping by

Lovely layouts!!! Looks like a lot of fun. I chat with my sis, or my best stamping buddy on the phone while I stamp or photograph too! Multitasking is the only way to stay ahead! :) I use a metal shim for my doilys. If you get one watch a youtube video before you try it. Make sure your metal shim is not placed so that it is a cutting surface. #73
I LOVE those doily die cuts! I have never used them but love the look of them. The Splitcoast stampers Virtual night sounds like FUN! Your pages look really great! Thank you for your visit and the really sweet words you left behind. Have a great Scrap night!

You have a lot of crafting space. Sorry to here about the problems with your die cut. I know that frustrating. Thanks for stopping by #59
Nice crafty space. I've put clear packaging tape on the back of my solid dues that won't cut, then run thru once, then turn the die including the paper a quarter turn and run thru again. Hope that works for you. Thanks for the earlier visit! Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #82
A lovely desk full of scrapbooking pages. What a pain it can be when these dies just won't cut properly . Happy woyww Jill #18
Looks like you've been busy! And I love "virtual" art get togethers... so much fun to be with folks all over the world crafting at the same time.
I've used a shim when my Big Shot doesn't cut cleanly... on some a piece of heavy acetate works well, because it won't compress. Also, there is a metal cutting plate I have for the lightweight delicate dies, that goes right underneath the metal die, and it helps get a clean cut. I can't find the name of it quickly, but hopefully you can find something similar at your local craft shop.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Happy WOYWW. Helen #82
P.S. Can you tell I used to work at an art and craft supply store? :D
Looks like a busy week. I love the pen storage, makes it so much easier when you are busy. Happy crafting, Angela x 49
Hi Sharon - looks like a mega busy desk you have there. I hope you have great fun at the weekend. Love for now, Chris # 15
Sharon, I don't have that particular die but, I have found that adding a piece of waxed paper between the slim dies and the cardstock and running it through the big shot a few times is working much better for me with all the intricate dies regardless of mfg. ( maybe that would help?) and or shims is my second best guess. I love that you have so much space to spread all the layouts and photos on a lot. :)
That is one busy scrapbooking desk there! I need to get my stuff in order as I shall be scrapping at my friend's on Saturday.
I love that copic marker stand.
As for your die problem, my friend has similar issues with some Sizzix dies. It cuts better with my BS than hers, and mine is very old! We just kept putting card in until we got a good result. Starting with thinner until we got it ok. It looks very pretty so will be worth it.

Looks like some fun stuff, looks like some fun stuff!
Looks like some great layouts are coming to life on your desk. Really cute die cuts too , I am still in love with your ottlite/ desk organizer .
Did the devilish doily die die? Sorry, couldn't resist that, love alliteration :-)
Your desk is looking good...you're using up stash and chatting at the same time. Bit like me at Julia's last week!!
Hugs, LLJ 36 xx
Love your marker storage system!
I so love peeking into your craft space! Now that looks like some good crafting going on!!! Can't wait to see all you create.
ah Sharon what a great crafty place.. thanks for sharing, Happy very bleated WOYWW Shaz in oz.x thanks for popping over.
You are really pretty busy. I do love that doily die. Why don't I have that?
Hopping on by to say hello :-)
Looks like you had a productive VSBN weekend. I've not tried the doily but I would try the tips Brandy shared. Let us know if they help.
Hope my insights on the die cut machines were able to help. sorry took so long to get back
