... or to be precise, look at what's on my workdesk Tuesday evening.
I am going to try to schedule this post to appear on Wednesday
(no, don't laugh - as the last and only time before that
I tried to schedule a post I failed miserably -
so if I fail again I'll expect a few titters -
mostly from me!)
Anyway, back to my desk .... I made a card - yay!!
This is a 'tent fold card' which I hadn't heard of before
seeing some in the February edition of
Craft Stamper magazine.
these simple and interesting cards which hold a secret panel -
a pull out strip of card which can be re-used as a bookmark.
Supplies I used to make the card were:
Artistic Outpost stamps - 'London Underground' set
Tim Holtz Kraft-Core Nostalgic Collection card
A Sizzix embossing folder (I wish they'd put the name on the folder)
Gold Pen, ribbon and a few brads.
What else is on my desk?
The parcel at the front in heart wrapping paper
I can't show a photo of what I made yet as it's all very secret squirrel!
The pile of papers towards the back are what I retrieved
from the loft last week including my old school reports, old letters
and photographs etc. I am going to use copies of some of it
on a small canvas for the final part of the
- I just haven't got around to it yet - you know how it is!
There's a few wooden blocks on the desk too - I ripped some of the
red rubber (stamps) from them last week - and very satisfying it was too.
I just need to remove the very sticky residue,
and then decide what to do with the blocks.
Finally, on the pile of old papers you may be able to see
a large sheet of pink scrapbook paper, glass beads,
a pink silk flower and a silver butterfly.
These were items sent to me by my lovely blogging friend
who challenged me to a '4 piece swap' -
we send four items to each other and make something
with them adding items from our own stash and then send it back.
I keep changing my mind as to what to make!
At least it's keeping the old grey matter working.

Thanks for visiting - if you have a desk on show this week,
I'll try to come and look at yours - and even if you haven't,
I'll still come over - delaying tactics for the 4 piece swap
(shhh, don't tell Mrs A!!)
Ta-ta for now!
