My desk is still covered with teensy, weensy, fussy cut, bits and bobs of gardening themed papers. I am proud to say that there are not quite so many of them as there were last week!
Somehow, I have managed to finish up 3 cards and almost have a 4th one ready to glue. There are a zillion scraps of other diecuts etc but I am not bothering to clean them up till I have 2 more gardening cards finished!!! Hopefully, I get some time again tomorrow to do just that
This was a good project to regain my mojo...I finally have a few card ideas racing around in my brain...anxious to be put to the test with cardstock and designer paper. I've got to get them made as they will all be bumping into each other soon...My brain is not all that big, you know!
I think I have won a Scrappymo! record for this being my shortest WOYWW post ever:) Julia will be proud of me for following the rules. If you are wondering what I am rambling on about, check out Julia's blog http://stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/ and see just what all the other creative crafters have on their workdesks too!l
ohooo your desk looks fabulous, I love all your bits!...can we swap!?! I will tidy! It's time I did...I can't get out!! Have a crafty week! Happy WOYWW

ooooh, that looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a nice feeling to get some projects completed.
I think you should write down your ideas, I think I have forgotten more then I can remember, and still I don't write them down because most of them come to me when I am about to fall asleep.
Some great bits on your desk! Trace x46
ReplyDeleteYour cards turned out beautifully. I love those leafy embellishments. Very delicate looking. Thank you for popping to visit me. Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 16
ReplyDeleteHad to pan in for a closer look, the cards look stunning.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday

Love your desk this week, Mo! All those gorgeous little scraps of fabulous colour! Also the framed pieces behind - beautiful, and all those fabby little drawers full of goodies. A real feast for the eyes, and a wonderfully busy, productive desk.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit, and your nice comment. Apparently I was linked to the wrong WOYWW, but Julia has fixed it, so if you want to pop back you can see what I've been up to this week, and also the subsequent post with the completed page.
Happy WOYWW,

Awesome looking desk with those gorgeous cards and layout there! It was a rather short post...tell me how you did it...mine seem to get longer and longer! Hope you have a great week. Vickie #91

As pretty as those cards are I still can't believe how much fussy cutting you did for them! I wouldn't have lasted half an hour. No doubt my productivity will go down once hubby is home as I'll actually have someone to talk to in the evenings now!!

I love those cards!! They are super sweet!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are super sweet too, for giving me so many ideas for my pumpkin! You know, I have 2 small gourds and a small green glittery pumpkin that I was going to add on top, but quit while I was ahead! Maybe I will put them in. The gourds go out the sides....hmm.....
Thanks again! You are awesome!

Such delicate die cuts ...and great cards. xx#79
ReplyDeleteI always wonder how you card makers really do come up with your wonderful ideas! I love the gardening papers so much. Thanks for visiting me--I'm waving my magic wand in your direction so you'll get plenty more creative inspiration! Hugs! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #13
ReplyDeleteWhile your diecuts are gorgeous, it was the clear boxes full of lovely bits in the background that caught my eye. I love it when stuff is sorted out by colour - it satisfies my OCD tendencies, LOL!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #66 xx
Gorgeous cards and so pleased Mr Mojo has returned. Yes, piccalilli is a yellow coloured relish - but despite having all the windows open (on a chilly Autumn day) the house still smells like a pickle factory :(
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!!

Oh I want reach in my screen and grab a few of those goodies on your desk. So cute with endless possibilities.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, another summer season in my garden gone and I didn't scrap any of it. I take the pictures but never sit down to document the beauties.
I hope you have a blessed week. See you next week.

Glad you got your creative mojo going again, looks like you are going to get lots accomplished. Thanks for your kind comments about my sledding ornaments, I agree with you, every kid should feel the joy of flying down a hill over the snow. Sad how some kids never even get out to play outside....
ReplyDeleteHave a crafty week. Barb
Love that desk of yours, is it marble? the card looks amazing as well
ReplyDeleteBridget #41
Love the gardening cards! Looks like you've been having fun!
ReplyDeleteKatie 35
Good for you! You are making great progress. Thanks for the kind words on my photo albums. I am a year behind (or more) in our family albums but they take a lot longer than the school ones do. I do chronological as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful die-cuts everywhere, and your card looks an absolute delight. Gorgeous layouts up at the back there too - hurrah for the return of the Mojo!!

Lovely cards there Maureen and how have you managed not to sneeze with all those bits on your desk?
ReplyDeleteHugs

Snap!
ReplyDeleteI think I have also broken my own record for the shortest post ever. I don't do short!
Glad you have regained your mojo. Sometimes the oddest or smallest thing can burn that flame again - lets hope it doesn't blow out anytime soon.
Oh, the image you saw on my desk (the coloured in one that is a Tiddly Inks digi)... it is now a card so I'll be blogging that soon to enter it into a few challenges (If i'm not too late).
Carry in crafting (not sure that ever was a film - but can you imagine what it would be like if it was) Barbara would get lots of paper bits stuck and Sid James would be going to crops and lusting after all the lady crafters) lol.
Happy WOYWW

I have an idea, instead of cleaning up, just sweep all those die cuts in an envelope and send them to me! lol, just teasing! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteLove the bright and cheerful cards! Good for you using up scraps and fussy cutting. I like the results, but not doing the work, but I've been in that mode myself lately. Happy Wednesday, happy crafting, and thanks for visiting me already! ~Laura #155
ReplyDeleteOk I want to know your son so i can get offcuts lol
ReplyDeleteBridget #41

ReplyDeleteWOW! There was more?... That is such an adorable card. Love the colors and layout. You left a comment about my stamps for sale. I have posted them, if you would like to check them out. My blog addy is mycarden.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHugs, Dangina
Oooh! Loving whats on your desk! Would have loved to see them in more detail(yes I'm that nosy!) Good luck with controlling your mojo!! Chris 150

Ooh so many pretty bits and bobs! The cards look fab! Love the cute little storage containers off to the upper right... Thanks for dropping by froggy designs. Nan 27
ReplyDeleteGreat that you have your mojo back, nothing worse than losing that. I really love those gardening cards. That wheelbarrow is so cute and the flowers are gorgeous. It's spring here so they are perfect for this end of the world :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Von #45 Running late as usual
Just doing an extra comment as the last comment disappeared before I hit publish. I guess it is doing the rounds of the blogasphere.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got your mojo back, nothing worse than losing that.
I really love your gardeny cards, especially the wheelbarrow and gorgeous flowers. It's spring at this end of the world and they are perfect.
Have a great week.

Ha! Julia probably cringes when she pops into my blog...I can be somewhat chatty too! Seems you are steamrolling right ahead...and finishing up unfinished projects as well...your snowflake card about turned out quiet festive!!! ♥ Sue Kment
ReplyDeleteThanks for your second visit, Mo, after Julia fixed the wonky link! Glad you enjoyed seeing the progress of my art journal page. If you go back again, your wish will be granted and you can see the completed tyger page in my next post.

Your cards are adorable. I love the corrugated paper. I also like your spring garden framed layout in the background. Thanks for visiting my blog too. Have a great week. LisaDV #164
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Your worktop looked very interesting. The poinsettia die I used is The Layered poinsettia made by Spellbinders Shapeabilities which has 4 different sized leaves which enables you to be more flexible. I used it to make a holly leaf wreath by cutting it up. Will try and put that pic on my blog. Sandy Dallas
ReplyDeleteLove your garden cards they are so pretty. I really like all the little letter boxes that I spy on there, so cute. Thanks for visiting me already I did get to use that new stamp set today and have a bit a crafty fun. Sandy :)
ReplyDeleteGarden card is beautiful. Great desk
