What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday? - 158


So...What's on Your Workdesk this Wednesday? 
I just found this great site Stamping Ground where artists from all over share a link to what's on their workdesk on Wednesday!
You should check it if you like pages of yummy inspiration!!


My desk is actually fairly clean as I have just finished one project and had cleaned up a bit before starting the next one.  In the middle there's a tag that I just completed for Tim's 12 Tags of 2012 and some yummy postcards received this week from an exchange group I am in. 
What you can't see is that to the right of me is my heatgun along with stacks of inkpads and bottles of sprays.  To the left are stackable drawers that are filled with adhesives, stamps and trinkets.  I'm not even going to try and describe what is below my desk and behind me.  Maybe I'll share it someday when I get it a better organized.  LOL!!! 

Next up is to get my contribution to the postcard swap completed and in the mail.
As you can tell, I also share my workdesk with my cats.  I have to put their food up high to keep the dogs from scarfing it done! Momma' decided it was time to eat just as I got ready to take the picture. 
And since I share my desk with them most of the time even when I am work at it, I decided to leave her there.  She and her son Sneakers are usually my constant companions when I sit at my desk.

Tomorrow I am getting up early and driving to my local scrapbook store (which is about a half hour away) and waiting in line to register to take classes from Tim Holtz when he comes there in September.  I can't WAIT!!  I have a feeling I will have lots of crafty company while I stand in line!

Now I'm off to check out more fun blogs and see what everyone else has been up to this week!

What fun! cats on your desk. They can be such companions and entertainment.

I don't have any nowadays.... because I have a husband with such allergies and sinus problems..... but, I still love to see everybody else's cats....

Welcome to WOYWW! Fun to see your desk, shared and all! Hope you managed to get in on the registration. So who do you now at the Banana place to get that great desk chart as a mat?!!

The Banana Desk Pad is YEARS old. The company is no longer in business. I used to work as a Receiving Manager in a grocery store and the vendor who delivered bananas gave me a stack of them.

They are about a 1/4 inch thick with lots of sheets of paper!

Love them! I've only got two left, and I know I'll be so sad to see them go as they are the perfect size sitting side by side on my desk and I can off stamp, spray, test my stamps, etc as I work.

I would have not expected a cat in a workspace but I totally understand. I have the same problem with the dogs wanting to eat their food. Valerie #26

I Sing the Song of my People...

Just a bit of fun with my stamps, inks and stencils today...   I used Cat Walk   stencil from the March release at  A Colorful Life Designs  and this cute singing  cat from KaztelKraft that I purchased from TopFlight Stamps called Fernand - Les gros chats ! I used My Favorite Things Extreme Black Hybrid ink to stamp Fernand and Copics for coloring.  I used Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink to stencil the background and wrote the sentiment with my Cricut Maker and Cricut fine line black marker. I hand drew the notes, as I couldn't find any tiny note stamps in my stash and then used black bling from EyeLet Outlet to pop up the notes and some fun colorful flower stickers from The Paper Studio.   Although the photo doesn't really show it, the cat is stamped on the background and then stamped separately on another piece of white cardstock and fussy cut and layered on the background with foam tape.  Found some blue cardstock to match in my stash and layered the sentime

Tim Holtz -Tag Tags of 2013

March When Tim posted his March tag for the 12 Tags of  2013  I knew I was going to have to do some major improvising because although I have a lot of Tim Holtz products in my stash, the only things I had this time was the Foliage and Memo Pins.   It took me a few days to wrap my head around it... but in the end I'm really happy with how my tag turned out  and it was nice to have some creative time at my art desk. Thanks for stopping in and feel free to leave me a comment and let you me know you stopped by! Anna I didn't have the Fringe Die so I  cut my grass by hand.  I looked at the picture of the die and sized my grass to match  Tim's.  I had Green Co-ordinations but not the Kraft one...so my grass is green on both sides of the fence.  I sanded the paper first and then gave it a good dose of Walnut Stain Distress Ink before cutting.  Then after I put it on my tag, I gave it a little hint of Picked Raspberry. Then in the meantime "Sneake
