This is the sight which greeted me when I entered my craft room this morning, so I thought that I had better have a little tidy up before embarking on my next project, which is a wedding card for my friend to give to her daughter and her prospective husband for their upcoming nuptials. SO stamps have been cleaned and put away and the scarps of paper filed in their appropriate colour section of my scrap box.
I have had another go at re-organisation for my Copics and have now got them horizontal on the self in front of me. This isn't absolutely ideal as they slip from their position if one underneath is removed. I have them in the plastic boxes in which they arrived. I'll have to see if I keep them there.
Here you can see that I have removed the little stack of drawers from the left side of my desk (Those of you who have visited before that is) to give me a little more elbow room, but the space gets cluttered with all and sundry nevertheless, but it feels better. My spraying box is to the right, I wanted some slightly twinkly paper to make flowers for the wedding card, in a burgundy shade to match the bridesmaids' dresses. That little table is also where my laptop usually sits. It gets flung onto the floor if I need to do spraying or to take a picture.

The last picture is of WIP on the wedding card. The request was for ivory with burgundy accents, in a similar style to a Silver Wedding Card I made recently. I have been looking for the scrap of paper where I wrote the dimensions to cut the card to make a box for the finished card, but it seems to be eluding me at the moment, I may have to resort to a little maths once more.
Hop over to Julia's (Link on sidebar) to see what everyone else is up to this fine Wednesday. I managed to visit everyone again last week! What a marathon!
The wedding card is now complete and can be seen in the post above this one!
It all looks too lovely Chrissie, everything to hand..and the removal of the drawers has really enlarged the space. I know it's going to exercise the placement of ink pads, but how about a little wedge under the front of the copics box? I don't use mine as much as you do, so I bet there's a solution that you'll come up with!
ReplyDeleteYour space looks a really busy one this week Chrissie. You have everything to hand and soooo much stash to 'play' with. It's not suprising you make such fab cards :-)

Always fun to snoop around your desk, like how you organised your copics on the shelf - I need reorganisation but I don't know how - yet!

You brought up a good point about the copics losing their places. I don't own any of these, but my various pens do the same. I think it looks pretty organized now. Sure hope you find your measurements. Would hate for you to have to resort to math (grin).
ReplyDeleteGreat work space. Kathleen x
ReplyDeleteYour spray box is on my must do list! It keeps getting longer LOl I usually just go outside to spray but with winter on the horizon that has got to be the way to go :)
ReplyDeletexoxo Sioux
those dimensions you have lost? check out any collage work you have done recently _ I have found that bits of papers with numbers on often get incorporated into projects...
ReplyDeleteDx
just love your mess today!!! sorry it is not a mess - could of done with that flower punch earlier in the week I was cutting flowers out with little punches for a project and I could have puched out a few at a time with that punch - thanks for my mooch around Liz ;o)
ReplyDeleteLovely pics, had a really good snoop round. Like the idea of storing nesties in CD cases.
ReplyDeleteThe desk may not be clear, but the rest of it looks really organised.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn
I'm drooling over the copic markers yummy
ReplyDeleteGood on you Chrissie, tidying it up before you start anew! Love the before and after shots!
ReplyDeleteThe green tape dispenser is that the one you were mentioning on Julia's? Im intrigued as you said they were really reasonable!
Love those gorgeous photos of the little one, I'm assuming they are of your little granddaughter, oh, she is beautiful!

Girl, so much copics! I don't even know what they are, but everyone seems to love them. I read about Copics each wednesday, and always think, "now I have got to try those guys..."
ReplyDeleteAmy
I liked it better when it was messier, lol - familiarity, you see. Love your desk and lots to play with there. I love Copics, too but don't have anywhere near that number..
ReplyDeleteVery indutrious looking desk!
ReplyDeleteAnd if you visited every one you deserve a medle as this WOYWW is now so big I can not commit to seeing/commenting on every one
Love Dawn xx

I have a spray box too, but they are difficult things to tidy away aren't they? Take up a huge amount of space. The wedding cards are gorgeous!
