WOYWW-221

It's Wednesday....grab your camera, snap a shot or two and post what you're working on.....Here's my desk(s).  I"m putting kits together for World Cardmaking Day Oct. 5th. 

I moved to the kitchen to start die cutting for 25 kits.  I don't know what I was thinking....10 dies, some of them cut 3 times each, times 25 kits....My right arm won't have any flab when I'm done.  Of course my left arm will still have the giggle....

Here are the partial kits.  4 pages of directions.  I want people to know how to make this card on their own....These are waiting for all the dies to be cut, packaged and added to the kits.....

And this is the beginning of the packing.  Tomorrow I'll be headed to Karen's she's helping me with the die cutting.....I'll show you the finished card on the 21st of Sept. 

It hasn't been all kit cutting, I did have time to play with a Die-namics die.  Karen - Paradise Scrapbook Boutique, sells among many other dies, Die-Namic dies.  I saw one that particularily got me thinking.....It's called Chicken Wire....and yes, it could be cut to resemble chicken wire.  But what I saw was a quilt...what do you think?  Quilt? 

How about now?

I was thinking of my friend Edy when I made this block.  Edy is a very talented quilter and she'd love if I made at least one quilt block...keep in mind, she never specified that it needed to be made of fabric.... So, Edy, this quilt block is for you!  And thank you Mary Jane for keeping me focused! 

Off I go to see what the others have made or are making this week.  Until later....Happy Crafting!

Rudolph Day and Pixie's Crafty Workshop

Can you believe it?  I can't.....It's the 25th of August and I actually have my Rudolph Day card completed....AND.... hold your applause.....I made it completely of scraps.....so, Di is getting a visit from this ole gal!

This didn't photograph as well as I would have liked....lots of glitter on this one, and all white, except for the shiny red nose!  It is Rudolph after all.  Want to see the inside?

I

I'm going to call this a short post.  Brenda is here and I just finished this card.  Now we will go on to play with something else.....Hop on over to Stamping For Pleasure and see all the Rudolph Day entries.  Remember you can post them until the last day of the month.  And then don't forget to visit Pixie's Crafty Workshop to see what all the snippets have turned into.  It's such fun to play along wth these two gals.  Lots of stories and great creations from both.  Seems Sarn isn't the only one thinking about Christmas!  Thanks to both gals for keeping me focused on making Christmas cards.

One more thing...Can you keep a secret?  Keep an eye out for the new releases for the Poppystamps Dies.  You didn't hear it from me, but they are FABULOUS!  I will let you know when they are available.  If I forget, you can always follow along on the Poppystamps blog page. 

Ok, so maybe it was two more things....Did you know World Card Making Day is the first Saturday in October?  Put it on your calendar, I'm sure there will be celebrations everywhere.  I'm celebrating by teaching a card class at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique.  I'll be posting the card on September 21....you can see it, here, on the Paradise Scrapbook Boutique blog page and on the Poppystamps blog....What will you be doing on World Card Making Day?

Off I go for now.....See you again soon, (if I get my act together!)

Hugs to all,

WOYWW-220 and A Bit Of This and That

Wednesday Already?  Where does the time go?  Well, most of know what Wednesday means.... yes, it's time to share our desk with the world, well, maybe not the whole world, but the crafting world.  Thanks to Julia WOYWW we can all share what we've been up to.  If you have a desk that needs to escape into the cyber world....share with the rest of us.  Leave Julia a little message and then if you have time, hop around.  It's fun and it keeps us creating (maybe not tiding up, but creating!)

These two cards:

Have resulted in moving to the dining room to cut kits for my September Class at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique (reminder the date for this is:  Wednesday 9/11/2013 from 1:00 to 4:00) 

Looks organized doesn't it?  Well there is another area where I'm cutting the dies that doesn't look so neat.  I put the camera away before I got to that spot...sorry.....

Here's my helper....doesn't he look energetic? 

I did work on a card this week, I'm hoping my friend doesn't look at my blog before the 24th, cause this is the card I made for her husband. 

Jerry is an amateur photographer and a good one, I might add.  I knew I needed a camera and a film strip.  Then I found these copper papers ,my friend Virginia cut the camera and the smile.  A bit of rubber stamping, a graphic in the lens and a hidden note and his card is in the mail. 

Well, that's it for today.....Have a crafty week, enjoy the journey and see you next week.

WOYWW #219 and Two Beautiful Creations

Honest, I have cleaned my craft room, but then I started creating for 3 up-coming classes....so, one mess cleaned, two others created.  The good news, I have 3 cards ready for putting kits together, and instructions written for two of them.  I feel like I'm getting back to being organized.  I know, from the looks of my desk you would never know!  So, have a look around, leave a comment if you have time and I hope you will then head over to Miss Julia's at Stampin-Ground  to see what everyone has been doing. 

I have a little friend that is VERY talented.  Her name is Skyler and she is 5 years old.  She created this beautiful project.  Look at all the work that went into placing each little tile.  Skyler is the grand daughter of my buddy Dee Dee.  I'm sure Skyler's talent runs in her family.  She has a very creative Mom, and Grand Mom.....A big shout out to Skyler and a super big THANK YOU  for thinking of me.  And now....here's Skyler's creation.....

And here's our little crafty girl Skyler.....

I couldn't forget her grandma, Dee Dee.  She made this beautiful card for my birthday.  THANK YOU  Dee Dee, your card is gorgeous! 

Well, I'm a bit late posting to WOYWW, but better late than never right?  Wishing you all a most crafty week, and a little reminder, my first post on the Poppystamps blog goes live on August 24th, I hope you hop over to have a look at not only what I've created, but also to see what the design team members are doing. 

Until later.  Happy Crafting!
