I am back after a while - I try to make it every week but I will be honest I am sooo tired after all this swimming and trying to loose weight I just many times don't feel like doing anything. I am still regularly making cards - after making loads of Valentine's Day cards I have now moved to Easter cards and also birthday cards. So lets have a look first at my desk which looks clean at the moment although it is only clean after I made a card for about 5 minutes and then it gets all "crowded" again. I have this new Tim Holtz glass mat and I remember him saying because it is a bit lifted from the desk it makes you have more space - doesn't work for me - it still gets really messy!
My desk....
First birthday cards - this one is for my nephew it is a shaker card and the letters are an MFT block letters die...I used them a bit different then what they have intended to be used...Background distress oxide sprays and a cogs embossing folder...
Hugs to all, have a lovely week...

Hi Dolores, loving all your cards. So spring like. I too got the TH mat, love it, apart from not liking that it 'stands up' off the desk- stuff keeps getting underneath it. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #5 X
ReplyDeleteYou always make such gorgeous cards! Glad you are still swimming, not so good if it keeps you from joining in more often. Have a great week. Helen #4
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards miss D, just lovely. Am so glad to see you, I hope the swimming and dieting is paying off. You aren’t alone, I’m back on the wagon too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous selection of really intricate cards. Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely week. With love and God Bless. Caro x (#31)
ReplyDeleteLoving the card collection, very stylish. Wishing you a lovely creative week and a happy woyww, Angela x16x
ReplyDeleteWow, Delores, you have been busy with all those cards, love the one for your nephew, esp the embossing folder used like that, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteThe glass mat looks great and I’d be like you my desk crowds in! Think it’s the default setting on my desk!
Hard losing weight isn’t it? I’m strugling with it too.

It's so good to see you back on the desks - sympathies with the weight loss etc, I'm on the wagon too. Why is it so easy to put on and so blooming hard to lose?? Grrrr. I love your cards, so fresh and pretty, especially the last one!

It was a busy day for me yesterday so I'm just playing catch up with visiting my blogging friends. The Stick Man outfit was completed and looked really lovely but.....more about that on my Friday blog post. :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your joining in and always lovely to see the fab cards you've been making.
Hugs,

Pretty Easter cards and very striking birthday cards - would be hard to choose a favourite but the bunnies are up there at the top of my list, especially with their beautiful coloured backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are battling with your weight, I am the opposite at the moment but hopefully the medics will sort things out before I become a stick insect.
Take care, enjoy the week.
hugs, Neet 7 xx
What fabulous cards Dolores. I like the idea of using a shaker panel over the happy birthday background. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteHi Dolores. Those cards are great - I love the colour combinations. I have an old glass mat, and an ordinary cutting mat - they sit next to one another on the desk - and are soon full - yes! Mine don't stay empty when I am working either.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.
