What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 341 And VSN Cards

Luke 2: 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not:for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace,

good will toward men. 

                 Wednesday again!  Time to show you my desk!  We all link to Stamping Ground on Wednesdays and show off our desks.  I have been crafting all week taking part in Virtual Stamp Night challenges on SplitcoastStampers.  I still have three more challenges to do by Saturday night.  Also showing off a Christmas card I got all the way from Spain from fellow blogger Jan S.  Wow!

I am still in thinking stage of next challenge card for VSN.

Isn't that the most adorable mouse?!  And love the goodies!

Here are a few of my VSN Challenge cards., most of these already in the mail!

                      I am late as usual, but cleaning for Christmas company!  I don't know if I will be posting next week, because I will have a house full of company, and loving every moment of it!  So Merry Christmas everyone! 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to stop by and see your space, too.

What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 340

   The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.  Titus 2:3-5


Good Morning everyone, or is it afternoon?  I am so slow getting around.  I have been addressing Christmas cards and sacking up Christmas gifts. I even forgot it was Wednesday and thus time for WOYWW.  In fact I wouldn't have remembered at all, but my husband mentioned it was the day to do the bedding! LOL  So, when I came down to do the load, I saw my desk and remembered!  I took a quick photo so you will see what it looks like this morning. You might notice a  new set of acrylic stamps I picked up at Michaels on clearance; might use them on some cards for this week-end's Virtual Stamp Night on SplitCoast Stampers. Also, a pad of Christmas paper that I purchased on sale last year and need to use.  I have a set of sentiments from SU! that I haven't used yet.  I did cover up my calendar gift sets because the recipients don't have theirs yet.  But, I stamped and colored 15 sets of them.  I will post photos of them after Christmas.  This "forgetting it is Wednesday" is a symptom of retirement! LOL

To see more desks from all over the world, check out Stamping Ground.

If I didn't make it to your desk last week, please accept my apology.  I will try to better this week!  The days and weeks just seem to fly!  Thank you so much for stopping by!

   Good morning!  It is time to show what is on our craft desks!  Everyone else is showing theirs, too over at Stamping Ground.  Be sure and check them out. Mine is clean!  Many of you guessed two weeks ago what was new on my desk.  It was the new Stamp-n-Storage Combo Holder for all my SU! ink pads, markers and refills!  Well, not all of them, but the current colors, and the In-Colors. Anyway, after I got that, I decided to do a little re-organizing.  So I am including a collage of sort of what my space looks like.  The first photo, though is what my desk actually looks like this morning.  I am not crafting, but last night got my package of Crazy Birds stamps and dies.  I stamped and cut out one bird, just to try them out, but that is as far as I got!  Hopefully, I will get to play later today with my new toys. First we are going to a Seniors even at our local Art Museum. It is a brunch and we get into the museum free!  Yay!  Free brunch and art are always good!
              So, without further ado, here is my desk! Look good, because it will never be this clean again! LOL  Look at all that clean work space!  Wow!

Thank you for stopping by!  I will see you at your space shortly!  Have a great week!

It has been so long since I "blogged", I can't remember how to do it! I think it has been 5 weeks, but not sure.  First we went on a wonderful 2 week cruise, then we were sick.  Just now getting back to crafting.  But, as you can see from my desk, I am trying to do too many things at once!  First, I am working on my gift calendars; secondly, I am also trying to finish Christmas cards; and thirdly I am trying to reorganize for the new addition on my desk.  Do you notice what is new on my desk?

So, this is just a quick check in with Julia's Stamping Ground WOYWW.  Check out what is on other crafters desk by visiting Julia.  It is fun to see what is on others desks.

Love sunrises at sea!

And sunsets, too!

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a wonderful week!

WOYWW 332 & Shaving Cream Technique

Happy WOYWW!  Am late again! We are all showing our desks as we do every Wednesday as part of What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday.   If you check out Julia's Stamping Ground, you will find some more deskers from all over the world!  So here is what I my desk looked like this  week!  I experimented using the Shaving Cream Technique as shown on a tutorial on Splitcoast Stamper.  Surprisingly, after you scrape your shaving cream off your card, it is real smooth.  :)

Dropped re-inkers into Shaving cream and swirled around the colors.

I  put papers on  and pressed into the cream, then  I  scraped off with a craft stick for various backgrounds.

This is how I used one of the backgrounds.  I added die cuts from shimmer card stock and added rhinestones.

Thank you for stopping by!  

What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 331 & Finished Box

Good Afternoon!  Just a run by to join in on WOYWW, where we show what is going on in our craft area! See other deskers at Stamping Ground!   Here are two photos of my area.  You can see I am addicted to Periscope! :)  So fun to watch live and to be able to ask questions and interact with the artist.

Made some  sympathy cards this week.

Do I ever clean after I stamp?

                                             
 Here is my box from my last post.  I think I will be doing more to it.  Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great week!

Gold Christmas

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.  Titus 2:3-5


I am going for the gold today with Sandy Allnock!  I was inspired by this card for Going for the Gold Day 6.   Hers was so adorable.  I went with what I had even though I had to hunt for an hour to find this set of penguins.  And all the time it was out on a table with a piece of paper on top of it!


The gold on my card is what I had:  Metallic Lustre by DecoArt. (Gold Rush) It is like a cream in a jar, and thought it would work, and I was happy with it. I applied it with a sponge applicator.   I used texture paste for the snowflakes. And I punched a paper with my snowflake punch for a stencil.  The penguin stamp and die set is Hampton Art.  I used a SU! window punch to punch out the Teeny Tiny Merry Christmas by SU! The backing for that is punched with another SU! punch. I don't know who makes the tiny brads I found in my stash.  The snow Flurries EF i used on my base is by cuttlebug. My penguins are colored with Copics.

If it hadn't been for Sandy's inspiration, I would not have tried this.  I had this paint and the texture paste in my stash, but was not using them!  Check out Sandy's Blog,for free classes  and videos on You Tube; I am sure she will inspire you too!

That is it today.  Thank you for stopping by.
