WOYWW & House Mouse

 "And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: ⁴⁷ And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these things." Luke 24:46-48 KJV

It is again time to join Julia over at Stamping Ground and to look at what other crafters have on their desks.  I love seeing what crafters all over the world are doing.  

So, first here is my card I made this afternoon for the House-Mouse and Friends Monday Anything Goes Challenge, with option of stitching, while zooming with my crafty friends.  This is also for the Color Challenge on SplitcoastStampers to use Pacific Point, Pear Pizzaz and Gorgeous Grape. (or nearest colors you have)

This stamp is Diva Hopper and is for a precious lady whose last name is Hopper!  I stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo on Whisper White, and colored with Copics.   I cut the ovals with my Creative Memories ovals, because I wanted them larger.  I did the bigger oval with Pacific point, and the base is Pear Pizzaz and embossed with SU! Spring Flowers EF.  The butterfly was cut with the Beautiful Wings embosslit by SU in Elegant Eggplant.  Sentiment is from Turtle Friends by SU!

Now for my desk: 

You can tell I have been using my Copics.  I don't know why I have so many out!  Kind of messy, but really fairly neat for a change!

Thanks for stopping by.  Now I need to go see what you are doing.  Have a great week!

WOYWW and TIOT

   ⁴ Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant ⁵ or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; ⁶ it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁸ Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 ESV

It is time for What's On your Workdesk? Wednesday!  I have been scrapping and Zooming today, so that is what is on my desk!  

I scrapped this page for

 Try It on Tuesday Challenge to Say It With Flowers.  You can check over there and see what others are saying with flowers.  All of these items are from my older stash! LOL  I have so much paper crafting items, I will never be able to use them up before this life is over! LOL

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure and stop over at Julia's Stamping Ground to see what the other deskers have on their desks.

WOYWW & Haul!

  11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. ¹³ Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

¹⁴ Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; ¹⁵ And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: ¹⁸ Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:11-18

It is time again to join the crafters over at Stamping Ground to see what everyone's desk looks like and to see what they are all doing.  Julia is our hostess for this weekly event.  So, hop on over and see what is going on, today.

This was what was on my desk recently after I went over to Hobby Lobby.  I hadn't been there in a while.  Although, I didn't need any stamps I couldn't resist these prices! 

I have already used some of these.  New stuff always inspires you, doesn't it? :)

Crafting wise, I helped some crafty ladies at a senior apartment complex make some cards this week.  I designed the following cards.  But no one card was the same.  They all put their own twist on it.  We had some good laughs, too.  I had forgotten a couple of things, but we or they made do.  I said I am a failure, and they said no, they were just glad I came and helped them.  

That is what is going on here.  Now, I need to go see what you all are doing.  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great rest of the week!  Continued prayers for Ukraine. 

My Desk on the Second Now & Then

 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. ¹³ Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

It is time to show what is on our desks and to link to Julia over at Stamping Ground.  Since I am also joining Bleubeard & Elizabeth over at Altered Book Lover for Second on the 2nd, I thought it would be fun to show now & then. 

Here is my desk today!  What's On Your Desk? Wednesday #665

I couldn't decide what I was doing today.  The sunflower book is a junk journal I made last year.  Next to it on the right is what I was collecting to make a daisy junk journal, which is the March Stashbuster challenge by Julie Dear Julie this year.

The card on top of the little white organizer is a daisy card I made for the Alpha Challenge over at SplitcoastStampers, for P for petals this week.  That thingy with the handle is what I use to press harder on my Misti when stamping.  It is easier on my wrists.  What I originally got it for was to use to press down on pages on the Geli plate. On box it is a Speedball baren, made for a comfortable grip "for a shock-absorbent, smooth slide, this baren makes it easy to create even pressure for better ink images."  Great for arthritic wrists.  I bought it like 20 years ago, and just now getting it out to use on a regular basis, not just with the Geli plate.  It saves on my wrists.

Here is my desk then: November 26, 2013

What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday #234 & EMS Scrap Sketch

Well, my workdesk is a mess, because I have been scrapping.  I even have stuff from last week still on here! Yikes!  You can see the yellow strip of CS that I tried to cut my letters out of.  It didn't work, too light weight, so I used some 12x12 SU!  Also, do you notice the 2 adhesives in lower left corner?  Well, they stopped working.  I have a whole sack of adhesive, that broke or quit working.  They are different brands.  Am I the only person that has difficulties with adhesive?
Also, in front of the Copics are some gift calendars I am working on. I stamped an image and am using the inks to water color.  There are some fun photos on there that I might incorporate on a card.   If you don't know what WOYWW is check it out at Julia's Stamping Ground.

WOYWW #234

A close up on my scrap page is below.  It is for several challenges:
             SCS VSBN English Degree ( my Bachelor Degree)  We were to use a conversation bubble on our page.
             Stash Busters Challenge:  We were to use two printed papers at least a year old, Epoxy sticker or put a shiny glaze over a sticker, ribbon slide, ribbon.
             Even More Scrapping Sketch Challenge # 50

EMS Sketch # 50

              Credits:  Printed Paper TPC Studio "School Days Alphabet Jumble"
                              Cardstock: So Saffron & Sage Shadow both SU!
                              Accessories:  SU! Alphabet Die, Certainly Celery Ribbon, Ribbon Slide from years and years ago!  Spellbinders leaf die.  Bubble sticker from Bernard J. Putt & Assoc 1985!
Yikes!! 1985! LOL    I thought it would be fun to use the letters and the negative of the letters on my page. 

                                                

                                                  Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Psalm 103:1-2

  And finally, wishing my friends in U.S. Happy Thanksgiving!  Here is a photo of the pumpkin that my husband and I are slaughtering tomorrow to freeze lots and lots of bags of pumpkin!  But I thought it would make a nice Fall photo. :)  We do this every year about this time and then bake and freeze lots of mini loaves and regular size ones for Christmas gifts.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what is on my desk and a second look at 2013!  Have a glorious day!  Thank you so much for stopping by.

 It is time for us to share what is on our desks over at Miss Julia's Stamping Ground for WOYWW.  

I have been making a House Mouse card for House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge-Anything Goes.

As you can see, I stamped the House Mouse image of "Signing a Card -Muzzy."  I then colored with Copics.  I backed the image with red and cut out with my pinking shears to look like a postage stamp.  I ran my base through with an embossing folder then mounted the red panel with the image.  You see all of my tools and mess from making this card right there on my desk.  A few other things which I am not sure why they are out. LOL

So, here is the finished product.

Not only is this an entry in the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, it is also my submission for the VSN Mini One Word Blank challenge, and the CAS Challenge for no sentiment, both over at SplitcoastStampers.

I hope you check out the other deskers and these challenges.  Very fun to see what others are doing and to get inspiration.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Have a great week!

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?

  A verse to think on: "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened: that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints."  Ephesians 1:17-18

 I will be joining Stamping Ground for WOYWW  again today.  I joined last week for the first time in several years and had a very warm welcome from everyone.  It had been so long that forgot that when I comment I should leave my number!  Today, I will remember to do that.  What do we do for What's on your Workdesk? Wednesday?  We show our desks, link over at Stamping Ground, and then visit each other to see what everyone is doing.

Therefore, here is my desk:

On my desk are kits I made up for a card making class that I lead at a senior's facility.  The kits are for Valentine's Day and a birthday card.  I die cut the pieces, and embossed the panels, and they put them together. I take my stamping platform so they could easily stamp the sentiments.  I also take punches so they can punch the sentiments out. 

Here is the Valentine card:

Thanks for stopping by.  I look forward to see what you are doing.

A Second Look at Feb 11, 2014

  A verse to think on: "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened: that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints."  Ephesians 1:17-18

I wanted to share a second look today and join Elizabeth at Altered Book Lover for her 2nd on the 2nd.  I decided to go back to early February 2014 to share.  Now, after looking at this, I know why I have so many stamp sets!  But I haven't been buying any new ones for a couple of years, and also, I have been trying to hone down my collection! LOL It is interesting, also that I mention in this 2nd look what it is like outside.  Although, I do not have the snowy photo any longer on my header, I know it used to be.  And that is what it looks like outside today, too.  It is blowing snow outside as I type this.  And since it is a picture of my desk, although old, and Wednesday I will join WOYWW. What is on your Workdesk Wednesday.

Here is my 2nd look:

    I received something fun this week!  My Stampin' Up order arrived, and I have been playing with it!  I saved up all year for Su! Sell-A-Bration sale.   So that is what is on my desk.  I have already opened and used two of the stamp sets and also the set of framelets. So new stuff really does inspire you to craft! :)  So, I am an enabler! Go get new stuff!  LOL
    Anyway, this week finds me crafting!  Especially, since outside we got 8 inches of snow today, and it is rather cold out.  So what else is there to do?  Oh, I did help my husband shovel snow for a few minutes. :)  My background photo is pretty much what it looks like here today! Pretty, but everything is shut down.

     For more information about What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday visit Julia's Stamping ground.

 

The card on the left was made using Su! Hostess set Nature's Hello along with the Big Shot Die Framelets Backyard Basics and Secret Garden.  I made the background panel using the Glitter Highlighting Embossing Technique.  Here is a link to a tutorial for that technique.  I used a rhinestone for the bird's eye, and Stampendous Dot Sparklers on the butterfly.   I made that card for Challenges S2S14D, A2S14C, and AOCC2014 on SCS.

The card on the right was made using Night of Navy and Marina Mist cardstock.  I used Denim embossing Powder and VersaMark ink on the image from Stampin' Up set, Tea Party.  The DP is from SU! Regals Print Pack.   The ribbon is probably SU!, but not sure as it was in my stash. :)  That was made for Challenges S2S14D, S2S14E, and AOCC2014 on SCS.

Thanks for looking and stopping by my Blog to see what I am doing.  Thanks for your comments, too, always appreciated!  I am off to see what is on your desks. Happy WOYWW!
