WOYWW 30 March 2011

Hello everyone! I'm back this week after taking last week off due to exhaustion - see here for more info. Here's my workdesk today, once again it has purple and butterflies and Tim Holtz stuff. Can't get enough of the technique Tim did here,  I'm doing it on everything! These are the foundation for a few mother's day cards as it's Mother's Day this Sunday in Wales.  What are your plans for Mother's Day?  I'm hoping for the Glee 4 album and a day out as I no longer work on a Sundays. Yipee!

For more workdesks just pop along to Julia's blog and follow the links.

Where has the time gone?

I can't believe it's been nearly 2 weeks since I last blogged!  I recently changed jobs as you can see here and although I have loads more free time I've been so tired I've not been able to enjoy it, last Friday and Saturday night I fell asleep n the sofa before 11pm! Feel much better this week so lots of blogging to catch up on!

First up is the 60th Birthday Card to a very special man, Bob Barry, who works really hard with Duffryn Community Link helping people when they need it the most.  I really enjoyed making this card and all they techniques on it.

Almost everything on the card is Tim Holtz!  The background is from the Pappillion set, I used his Ribbon tape and 60 is made from Grungeboard and I used Vintage Photo distress ink everywhere!  Other than that a few torn book pages covered with Gesso and a pastel stripy paper which has grunged up nicely with distress ink complete the card.

I've also had a couple of commissions over the last couple of weeks, a 4th birthday card, shown below and a wedding card and christening card to follow later this week.

Well, see you tomorrow for WOYWW, bye for now.

WOYWW 16th March 2011

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the lovely comments on last weeks posts (can't believe I managed to link up to the wrong one!).  This morning I'm working on a little flower embellishment to put on a present (the big pot) for my friends birthday today - you can also see a bit of the card I made her which I blogged about here.  I've also got some more work to do on the Man's birthday card.  Don't worry you I'll blog it all when he has received it.

To see more desk's go to Julia's blog, there's loads of brilliant inspiration there.

My Creative Evening

I've really enjoyed tonight, just finishing off my Tattered florals card with a Happy Birthday message and copying this tag from Tim on a card:

Can't show you yet... it's for a birthday this week.  Hope you're having a great weekeng, let me know in the comments section.
