And time marches on - it's already the middle of the week. Yikes. Time for the snoop around the work desks, hosted by our friend Julia over at the Stamping Ground who provides the structure for all this snooping, not to mention loads of creativity and a great sense of humor.
This is what my desk looked like after FINALLY finishing the tags for this month's class at my local stamp store Stamp Cache. This month we're doing tags, so I made one little one, one BIG one, and one that was just right (tee hee - sorry I couldn't help myself). Any way this is what it looked like at the end:
What a disaster, eh? You can see the bunnies on the lower left that I was playing around. They were easy, but getting the butterfly right? Not so much. The trouble was I made one on just a piece of white paper to try out the colors and it was perfect. So then I set about to recreate it and it took, well, let's just say several tries. Finally I did it on Speciality Stamping Paper and it was fine.
You can see my tea cup right next to the water container for paint; and yes I have dipped my brush in the tea before. Whoops. Otherwise it's an assortment of TIM products, and wool felt. The felt was much fun to play with - just make sure it's wool felt, not acrylic.
Otherwise this week I was busy with my calendar page and other things and have no journal pages to show you....next week for sure. Hope everyone has a FAB week.

Love all the stuff on your desk - the butterfly is really pretty. Why have you a line drawn across your DI pad lids?

It looks like you have been having lots of fun and the bunny looks great. When I was reading about your water pot and mug being in the same place I started thinking maybe accidents had happened

Hi Sara what a lovely lot of inky stuff on your desk! I love the background on the tag that is propped up. I was wondering what die you used to make the cute trim strips on the left? It looks like your class is going to have lots of inky fun - perfect! Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 52
ReplyDeleteThat's what I like to see ........... busy desk!!! Take it your a left hander like me - the mug is a dead giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteOK, for the life of me I couldn't find the bunnies, but I do see the butterflies, and tea dipping, huh? Sounds like a TH thing if you ask me. lol Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by my blog, waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
ReplyDeleteLove the bunnies. I did some last year that I stained with Walnut Stain distress ink and then rubbed Walnut Stain stickles all over it. It looked like a real chocolate bunny.
ReplyDeleteHope you get a chance to check out my blog and desk.
Have a great day.

Dipped your brush in the tea? How about picked up your murky paint water and drank it! Yep, I've done that before, lol!! Looks like you've had a blast at that desk, love the cute bunnies. Can't imagine not even thinking about spring for another 2 1/2 months!

Now that is a WOW desk! Looks like you're from the create in a mess camp...I hang out there quite frequently myself! lol :) About your stamping experiment...I hate it when that happens! Glad you finally got a match. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me such a sweet and encouraging comment. Deeyll #42
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks very active. I didn't see the tags - are they buried in there? Or did I see just a smidge of the tags on the left hand side of the desk? Must have been the butterfly you were talking about. :-) April #133
