WOYWW

It Wednesday again and time for another look-see at other crafter's desks... their drawers too today I understand!
Earlier in the week I made a 'penny spinner' card which you can see a couple of posts back.
(with simple instructions). I liked it so much I had another go and this was the result. The flower spins along the slit when the card is tilted.
When I went to my choir last night, both cards were bought very quickly and I have orders for two more, so what you see on my desk is the work in progress on these. I have just received my SU word window punch and it was for just such a project that I bought it. So the gymnast will go twirling along the base of the card. The recipient for the little bear, is the younger sister of the gymnast and they both like pink! I raided my charity box for some more pennies! (I'll pay it back... promise!)
Now a quick swing to the right and you can see the table at which I am now typing on my laptop, but here it's in the incarnation of a 'spraying box'. If I need to use a little Sparkle spray or Cosmic Simmer Mist, I remove my tastefully draped damask cloth (the backdrop for my photos) place the items to be sprayed on the box and spray away! Simples!

I thought that I would let you have a little look into my border punch drawer at the same time... not very organised I fear.
That seems to be it for today. I shall be off to Julia's WOYWW listing very soon to have a gander at some others. There's a permanent link on my sidebar if you'd care to come and join us!

  3. Ah great cards Chrissie. Love your so comletely multi-use table! I don't think there is any other way to successfully store punches, whatever you do, they are a jumble - your border collection is quite large!

  7. Well Chrissie - what a clever idea for the box for spraying - i usually do it over the bin but get it everywhere then the cat chokes... I wondered why your laptop table/photobooth thingy seemed to be raised at the back - now I know. How clever. You've a lot going on on your desk this week. And my, what a collection of copics you have!! No wonder you get such lovely results with your colouring in, i'm always impressed by your colouring...

    Big hugs

    PS: If you need punch space - I have an empty drawer.

  12. Lovely card Chrissie great colours and I love that pink card on the desk too.
    I use a large shoe box for spraying my items with glimmer mist with some scrunched up tissue paper in to soak up the excess.
    Garry always laughs at me I never throw nice little boxes away I always find a use for them !! he he

    Re my ribbon holder it is actually a kithen towel roll holder the top unscrews so you can add the rolls, I think it came from Sainsburys many year ago. Hugs Pam x
