WOYWW 285 # What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.


Hi Workdesk friends.
Back again for another Wednesday.

Angela here to show you:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit the
Stamping Ground and our dear host Julia will explain and all will be revealed.

Here you can see my desk, still busy with Christmas cards.
I have been managing to make about five each week for about the last five weeks but still have a few to go.

Good job you are not looking behind me or to the side as the room is not very tidy at the moment and I will be pleased when I have finished the cards and can have a good tidy up and get back to other stuff though I have managed to make a few different things at the same time, as some of you will be aware.

Anyway here is my desk for this week.


Before you say anything, I know it's a mess at the moment Lol!
Nice view though along the top showing some of my little friends including Boiler Plate Mini Me, he's not impressed as he's stuck behind the spare hand and several stamps so has been unable to go walkabout for a while.
Several dies, all Christmas stuff except for the cardboard tubes, they are waiting to be recycled but that's for another day.


 
The card you can see is different from what I have been doing recently as it is made using printed papers.
I promised to make one of these box cards for a friend but it's not quite finished yet.

 
I hadn't finished it but I have now so here it is!
 




 
 
Well that's it for today, nice and quick, just how you like it.

Hope you enjoyed that.
Now off you go to have a good snoop round at the other desks.



Happy crafting,
 
Angela x

Hi Angela happy WOYWW...you're doing well with your cards and that box card is fabulous, you've given me a few ideas for special cards for the family. Enjoy your week, mess and all when you're busy you don't notice it. Cheers RobynO#36

What an amazing card - it's beautiful (and clever!). I also must say I love the cards in your previous post - I've had that stamp of the lady for absolutely years, and I don't think I've ever used it - you've reminded me just how gorgeous it is and your two cards are totally stunning. Hope you have a great week,

Super pop up card Angela but what has really taken my eye are all the drawers you have - all so carefully coordinated. They look amazing!

Hi Angela, it's nice to meet you! I love your crafting desk... and all those coordinated storage containers! That card is amazing... I've just recently been seeing those box cards... haven't attempted one yet though. I've just recently joined in on the fun with WOYWW and am so glad I finally have. The creativity is amazing! :D Look forward to seeing your future desk projects! :D

Wonderfully busy and creative desk, Angela, and what industry, all those Christmas cards. I love your boxes with the little trees! So cool!

Thanks for your lovely comment. I am feeling much better now, thank you. Well spotted - I did indeed get the Kitty Squad stamp from Art from the Heart! I love the way they package their stuff. I am saving the little hearts charm to incorporate into my hubby's next Valentine card lol!

I am hoping to do more in my ARTHaven this coming week - got to finish that bed sheet tomorrow or I won't have a clean one to put on the bed lol!! Tonight's soap class was simply awesome and I'm hoping to post about it tomorrow, My hands still smell fabulous from all the gorgeous essential oils!

Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #33

You look well organised with all those containers there! love the box card. I made those with my class of ladies. They were a bit daunted when they first saw them but did a good job! Thanks for popping by my blog. Sorry I'm late. Anne x #34

I love that exploding box. I have always wanted to make one but never got around to it. Your desk is absolutely perfect for looking at , so many things to marvel at. Thank you for your visit and good wishes. I do feel a little better today so, perhaps, I have the lurgy on the run. Have a good week. xx Maggie

Hi Angela,

Oh, what a great box card! I can't imagine the detail, not to mention the patience, to make one of these!

Your desk looks ready for action.

I'm slowly making my way around to desks. Thank you for visiting me earlier!
Happy belated WOYWW,
Hugs, Kay
