Good morning Everybody!
Why is everybody so early??? Or am I just late??? Oh well.... I promised I would be very short today and I promise I will be! I have been doing a lot of housework so my crafting was set to the side - I am working on a card for my daughters boyfriend but to be honest I don't know where I am going with it! I started off with this brilliant idea using some lovely mainly brown papers with a bit of gold but I am not sure about it now - of course I managed to make a really big mess in my craftroom as always...Believe me I can tidy up but when you go from one card to another it does pile up so you end up with 10 cm space....have a snoop then! You still haven't heard about this crazy thing called WOYWW????? Well pay a visit to the Queen of Snoop Julia at Stamping Ground and you will soon find out!
So here is my messy desk from all angles........this is how I started out - not bad - pretty tidy....
Turn to the right - all the papers I have used and lots more stuff....
Turn to the right - more mess....on top of that pile there is the card - memory thinge for my daughter which she still hasn't seen ( cause she doesn't have time to come see mommy!! ) so I can't really show it yet ...
and it all ended up like this.....
See I told you - only about 10 cm space left! Huh!!! Got all the boxes and reels with ribbon down to find the perfect one but now I am thinking I won't use it....
Ok I said I would be short today - just one more thing....as I blogged yesterday I will be at the autumn craft show at Ally Pally ( on the Saturday)- coming all the way from Slovenia! So if some of you girls will be there let me know I will put a big sign on with CARDARIAN written on it so you can spot me, ha, ha....not that you will have a problem spotting me as I am quite big!
Ok, Ok I am off now....
Have a lovely day and a great snoop!
Lots of hugs to all of you
Cardarian
Oh, so glad you're coming to Ally Pally - I will be there on the Saturday too. Great shots today, love your space.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see all you've been busy with this week. Hope you have a lovely time at Ally Pally and meet up with lots of blogging friends.

This is tidy - well sort of - lots of good space still left. It's when we get crafting on the floor we have to worry LOL. Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteIf that's the card on the desk, it looks great to me but I know how difficult it can be sometimes putting everthing together - why not just try changing the background paper or one of the elements.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry I won't be going to Ally Pally but keep us informed of any shows you can make it to in the future. Have a great time while you're there ;-)

I've had trouble getting an ATC together, so I know how hard a card can be. And all the things we get out just to make it happen. I'm really late to the party today. My internet went down at the wrong time. I wish I lived closer, I would consider going to Ally Pally just to meet you and a few other WOYWWers.
ReplyDeleteOh I so glad your coming to Ally Pally we should make a place marker where all us WOYWW can meet up and laugh at our desk together. Love your butterflies and the card your making looks great. Have a lovely day Jo. xx
ReplyDeleteHave fun at Ally Pally....I live in the UK and have never been yet!!!

WOW it looks very busy here today. Sorry Too far for me to travel to Ally Pally!!! (I have agoraphobia!) Hope you enjoy it when you go. My friend Heidi will be there on the Little Clares Stall!!! Hazelxo
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and papers you have used ...is that a bow tie under the butterfly??...my eyes are rubbish lol xx
ReplyDeleteWell, that card looks pretty good from here! I always have problems with them too... never sure they are what they should be! Your desk looks organised in its untidyness so you get extra points for that!
ReplyDeleteoh now I want to come to AP, I went a couple of years ago, it was a fun day. But no money so I am not allowed, have a great time.
ReplyDeleteYes i used your fabric, there was enough to line the first 2 bags, and all your denim has been cut up too.
I have a pile of denim all pinned together on my desk just waiting to be stitched together.
Have a great week, if by some miracle I make it to AP I shall shriek from the rooftos so you know I am coming then I shall search you out and hug you till you squeal! lol
ah cardarian, you have yourself a can't decide what I do want, just know what I don't want loop? keep crafting till you reach escape velocity, I love your colours and will watch out for the finished card...

Well, that card looks lovely to me, love the colours now, does the butterfly punch cut out the stamped image, that would be neat! Have a lovely holiday, we aren't having one this year, but are off for two weeks very soon to dog/house sit... have a good woyww

ReplyDeleteAh D - you and I work in exactly the same way. Decide on one thing and then get everything out until you have a match....works but it makes the table fill up fast! Ally Pally dates are difficult for me, but you won't be alone..I will blog about it, see who else is going too!
ReplyDeletelovely space and very colour co-ordinated. The card on your desk looks lovely, I love the colours you have used. Hope you really enjoy Ally Pally. Have a good evening, Tracy Evans x
ReplyDeleteI lurve looking at your desk, always so much to take in. I ended up with far less than 10cm to work in today lol!
ReplyDeleteWish i could go to Ally Pally, would be so lovely to meet you.

I think your card looks great!!! can i ask whats the green thing in the plastic bag???
ReplyDeleteFab mosey today. You lucky thing Ally Pally I keep saying I want to go but never get there. Don't be too impressed by my Christmas card making those are all I have done and they were done at craft club!!!! hugs Pam
ReplyDeleteLooks like a well lived in crafty space. Wish I could make it to a craft show. I have no one who wants to travel with me. Usually have to drive to Tamps (brrrrrr) or Orlando. My back gives out so can't drive more than an hours drive and still all tight afterward. Oh well, maybe the next one. Have fun, spend lots of money, no no.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, good, inspiring creative mess!!!
ReplyDeleteFab busy desk with lots of interesting things! The project looks fab!
ReplyDeleteHugs

1 card, 2 cards, 50 cards - the mess seems to be the same no matter how many you do... I find this so try not to make only one when I make a mess!!!
