Well here it is. Not much going on, but trust me, this desk has had a busy week.
So....check out Julia and her desk-mates and if you're brave, join in and share What's On Your Workdesk.... Have a peek here. Well, here's my desk....
I've been working on several cards, some finished, some I can't show for a few days/weeks and this one....
A few weeks back I did a card that Carolyn shared from her friend Lori. What I liked about Lori's card was how the images matched on each layer. I've had this paper forever, and it's one of those that you just don't want to cut into because you love it so much. Well, I did it and I'm thrilled with how well it worked. I drop cut each layer from the previous layer and for the front I only used a 5 1/4 x 4 inch piece. The green frames make this technique work...
Here is one of the cards I made....another will be shown on Rudolph Day (Feb 25), more about that later.....Mary Jane thought her napkin graphic might be too large for a 1/4 fold card. I had to give it a try and I think her napkin worked very well....I like the card I made.
and here's what the inside looks like. The rose bud was an after thought, but one I'm glad I had...
I'm not a great fan of snow, but it's one of those things that just happen and today it happened. I was walking past the living room window when I saw this pigeon. I think maybe the pigeon feels about the same as I do...
On the up-side...tomorrow it's supposed to be sunny and in the 50's. Gotta love northern California weather.
See you again soon....

And then....Our girls get-together was a day of napkin art. Again, thank you to Mary H for reminding me of how much fun this is. I have to giggle at this photo. It was taken as the ladies patiently worked on pulling the layers of the napkin apart. Seconds later, I showed them the easy way...

Sarn....these are homing pigeons. Not ours, our Vet's. The one in the photo is the skinny one. There is one that is a little piggy, and we always wonder how he can get off the ground to fly. I tease my vet telling him I'm going to start charging him for feed.
DeleteGorgeous cards, love seeing everyone crafting together x
ReplyDeleteYou captured such a Beautiful photo too :0)

The card with your special paper is gorgeous, I do love that technique too and can never get my head around how it works even though I use it a lot. I feel so sorry for that poor pigeon, I guess he was not expecting snow either! Happy WOYWW, Anne x #37
ReplyDeleteYour desk is nice and tidy and your cards are really lovely that paper is soooo pretty and the card looks stunning because of how you have used it.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very happy WOYWW

What great napkin art cards you have on your blog this week. Loos like you were all having fun pulling the napkins apart>
ReplyDeleteKrisha #21
Oh love the cards! And the napkin one is awesome. I've never seen such pretty napkins. What's the secret to pulling apart the layers? Have a great week. Happy WOYWW! Nan 7
ReplyDeleteNan...shhhhh don't tell...you make a small tape tab on the corner of the patterned piece, and another on the same corner of the plain side and then you slowly pull. You may have to repeat if you only get one layer to come off...then snip off the tape.
DeleteWhat beautiful cards and how good that you have a crafty get together. The wood pigeons come and empty my bird sees container in a couple of days. There is one enormous one too, we saw lots of feathers on the ground and a couple stuck to the window, we think he had trouble taking off!
