WOYWW, Getting back into the crafty mood!

Hello my dear friends!

 I hope you are all well and at least some of you are enjoying the lovely autumn weather. I was at a library conference last week - you can see the post about that here - and I must admit we had lovely weather and the colors of autumn were fantastic. Coming back home the weather is not so nice - mostly cloudy with rain every now and then! But I guess if I am at work all day it doesn't matter what the weather is like! 
So lets get up to the crafty stuff....I have been making cards mostly....but first up is my really messy desk it is a major push back situation, I will have to clean up because I think there is no room for crafting anymore...



I have all my washi tape out ( and I haven't even used it! ) inks, stamps, TH DIs, scissors, chomper etc... I just don't know how I manage to make such a mess making just one card! Huh!
And here is what I made....it is a card for a friend at my DBFs MG club, they will have a big party for his 70th but unfortunatly I won't be there - he, he but card will be! He is a big fan of cricket so as you can see the card has that theme! 




I also started making Christmas cards again....I said I was going to make 1 Christmas card a week and by the end of the year they would all be done - never happened - I did it for about 2 weeks and that was it!!!
So here is my Christmas card .....not in a festive mood at all yet but I really don't want to be making cards the last evening before Christmas.....


So there that is the story of today at Cardarian's happy place!
I hope you have a good snoop around. and enjoy the day!
I will be visiting!
Lots of hugs to all of you
CARDARIAN

    Ja res ne vem, kako ti uspe narediti tak nered...:):):) Pri meni ni nič bolje, še posebej takrat, ko mi ne gre kot sem si zamislila, ko prekladam in prekladam. Čestitki sta super, posebej praznična mi je zelo všeč.

    I really like that christmas card background it looks awesome did you create the background too? As for mess I am with you, for some reason it looks like a tornado comes through when I create a little card, don't know why either.

    Happy WOYWW and happy crafting.

    What a crafty desk there! That is a lot of washi! I had to stop buying for now as I don't seem to use it as often as I should so I have a lot. Great 70th bday card! I especially love the Christmas one. Such a fun background too! Winnie#73

    I'm sure there's a big enough space left to craft - at least six inches LOL! Had to smile about the Crimbo cards - same here, never happened and I'll be panicking very soon. Next year maybe!! Love the one you have done. Started to listen to the lecture but will go back to it when it's not so late. Happy WOYWW Cindy #30

    The cards are gorgeous. I love the cricketer you've put on the front of the card. We're all the same, start off with a large desk and end up working in a 6 inch square!! Sorry I'm so late visiting. Hugs. Pam#38
