I have pulled some kraft cards and now I am busy pairing it up with some designer papers. I feel in the mood to make up a few gardening themed cards. Luckily I have some glittery papers with bulbs, wellies, tools, wheelbarrows and baskets. I have fussy cut a few of these out last night...now to get my mojo working!
Once healed, I am determined to rejoin the garden club. These cards will be to donate to the draw that they hold each month to help cover the hall costs. They are easy to make up as I will keep them simple. Best of all, I don't feel too much stress about my mojo being a bit off as these are going to gardeners, not card makers!!! lol
If you are wondering why I am sharing my desk and all it's clutter, pop on over to the lovely Julia's blog http://stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/ and check out what all the other crafters are doing. Be sure to leave some bloggy hugs!

The gardening cards are going to be lovely, I think. Those clear storage containers are really effective, and so pretty too.
Glad you are home now, hope things keep improving.

oh my I see so many goodies on your desk this week!! love it!
I'll send my mojo to visit and see if it helps. Although maybe if you always pretend you're creating for gardeners you'll feel less pressure and more creative!
Thank you so much for stopping by.
cheers, rachel #64
Love all the bits on your desk will pop back to see the finished cards - glad to hear you are also on the mend - and yes all the cards on top off my desk are the ones I made this week :)
Ok please, please, PLEASE tell me who makes that paper! I'm a gardener and I must have all things garden related and that paper is just fabulous!!! I love those little cards you created they are adorable and what great gifts they would make!!!!
TFS!

those bits look fab love the wellies and gloves teh colours are perefct, cant wait to come back and see what you've created .also noticed some rather fab looking stamps very nice indeed... x
It looks like you have some fun stuff going on there! :)
So funny what you wrote in response to Julia, about thinking I would be taller. I used to work on local BBC radio and when I did outside broadcast events and met listeners the often told me that I sounded taller on radio !!!!! Now I know I also seemed taller via my blog!! TEE HEE!

Your gardening cards are coming along beautifully :o) Glad you're home, hope you'll be fully recovered soon xx Lisa x
The framed layouts are looking just great - they will be wonderfully inspiring to have hung up nearby. And I love what's already going on on your desk - great fussy cutting! Hope you enjoy making them, even if the mojo isn't at full whack... happy WOYWW and thanks for your visit!

Cards are cards and of course we all want to see. If it kickstarts the mojo then go with it.
Thanks for visiting
Carol
Hi ya, so glad you are home and feeling crafty - that's got to be a good sign for the road to recovery hasn't it!!
Looks like the start of some lovely cards there - and I'm sure the gardeners will love them.
Thanks for the very kind comment on my colouring woes on my blog - I'm always considering an online colouring course, but they tend to focus on Copics not Promarkers. Back to good old YouTube for a few tutorials I think!!
Sarah
I love looking at creative desks.
