Well here it is the first WOYWW of the New Year - and I've tidied especially!! Gone are the Christmas stamps and ribbon, the gold and silver card and festive paper...to be replaced by a very tidy (for me) desk just waiting for the first project of 2011 to be started. So what has previously looked like this.....
and this.....
and been piled up like this.....
Now looks like this...
Wonder how long it will last..???
While I'm here just thought I'd share another card I made for The Stamp Addicts show (before the tidy up). The show is on Create and Craft, Fri 7th Jan @2.00pm featuring some gorgeous new stamps from Judikins.
I've coloured with promarkers and decoupaged - you can see the layers a bit better here..
and I added a touch of Flower Soft...
To see how other's desks are doing this first WOYWW of 2011 pop along to Julia's blog - 'The Stamping Ground' to have a peek and share the fun! Thanks for stopping by...Esther xx

Whoa! What an amazing clean up!! I'm super impressed. And what a great way to start the new year. A clean slate, so to speak. Happy New Year, rather belatedly and a happy WOYWW from #16 this week.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice feeling, isn't it, getting ready for crafting spring-like things...I like the stamped card and the depth you have included makes it pop off the page...very nice!

I’m betting that the nice clear desk in your photo on Wednesday is a little messier by now.
ReplyDeleteStill, it’s all in a good cause if you’re turning out cards like the sample you’ve made.
Beautiful!
Happy New Year
