Well my desk has not changed a lot since last week. Due to a family bereavment I have not had much time to craft as I was engaged in other activities in preparation for the funeral. After that I needed to make some "thank you" cards for my mother-in-law to send out. Stuck to simple ones of which you can see 2 in my pics. Materials were just card stock, vellum printed with designs from the Artylicious Decadent Brocade CD, oval nesties, floradoodle flowers and some peel-off corners. The "Thank You" sentiment is heat embossed using a stamp by Elusive Images. I took a better shot of the cards to let you see them closer up. If you wan to join in the WOYWW fun visit Julia's blog to find out more.
Someone asked last week about my ink pad storage - it's free cassette tape storage that came with boxes of Oxo years ago - hubby found them in the loft a while back and I nabbed them with glee cuz I knew they would be ideal for storing ink pads - just wish I had enough for the rest of my ink pads - they are stacked to one side, or in various tubs and draws. Oh and the mess - err I haven't shown all of it yet - I am too ashamed to show the real extent of my clutter!
Heading off now for a snoop round some other workdesks.
Sorry to hear about the bereavement. Hope all is well with you. I have some old cassette boxes, but they are too small to hold my stamp pads. I will have to try to find some that actually work.
ReplyDeleteThose thank you cards are gorgeous. So elegant, too. Happy WOYWW and thanks for explaining about your stamp pad holders.
Lovely cards Phree. Just right for the purpose and I bet your MIL was grateful to have you make them.
