What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday?

I've been missing in action the last couple of weeks.  
It's just been CRAZY busy and I haven't taken the time to sit at my art desk and when I have had time to sit down at my desk late in the evening, I've been falling asleep.  
LOL!  Guess I've needed the rest.
Still nothing new to show as far as projects this week, as my work area is all clean and neat.
...but I did want to share the lovely ATC that I received from Monica for the Anniversary ATC swap.


Isn't all the packaging lovely!  To the left is the card that she included with her ATC and the ATC was beautifully wrapped and presented in a wax envelope.
Don't you just love the presentation?


It was all so lovely, I hated to take it apart!  Here are the little snippets that were tucked under the ribbon and the picture below shows her beautiful ATC.
Thank you Monica, I love it!


If you want to see what everyone is up to for this week's 
check out Julia's Stamping Ground and take a peek at what everyone else has been up to.

I'm hoping to be back in the swing of things by next Wednesday.
...and the following Wednesday I hope to have lots of goodies to show as I will be working at
Stampfest Orlando next weekend. 
If you are in the neighborhood, come on out and say Hi!
I'll be working in the Marco's Paper booth.

I Sing the Song of my People...

Image
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
