WOYWW

My desk this week is a little neglected. On Monday I went to my daughter's and yesterday we went Christmas shopping in the factory outlet at Swindon. In previous years I have done really well in finding presents there and this time was no exception... but more of that later.
The things on my desk are just not quite right.. unfinished... don't quite  know what to do next with them. The mojo has departed somewhat. I think that the problem might be a surfeit of new stash in that I don't know where to start and what to use first!
I'm really pleased with one thing which I bought recently...these A4 plastic boxes for card and paper storage! I can see at a glance what colour each contains.
Just next to this unit is a drawer containing my Stampin' Up stamps... I really do love them and they seem perfect for my preferred style of card... clean and simple!
 I hope you all have a great WOYWW, sadly I only managed to visit about half of the desks last week , but I will try harder!

  6. Congrats on being number 1 this week. Way to go.

    I love those cards, especially the one with the tree in the back of the truck. Clean and simple really does fit your style. And it's what I appreciate, too.

    SU used to be nothing but cutesy and too childish for my taste. I see they have gotten more sophisticated over the years, at least from looking at all those stamps you have in your drawer. Have a great WOYWW and if I find your mojo, I'll send it home to you!

  32. Seems as if there are a few of us getting a bit "stuck" with the card making - maybe we are trying too hard. Love what you have done already though!

  49. You're as bad as me with your card stock - I have more blue, green & purple than anything else too! LOVE the pink card, I really like your style of cards.

    I see you didn't get much use out of a flower press either. Are we related?!!

  51. The cards look very promising. On the subject of your departed mojo and too much stash I can do no better that quote the writer, Ann Lamott's father's advice on writing a book about birds, take it bird by bird. Love your paper storage and all those lovely stamps. Thanks for sharing. Elizabeth #113

  60. Hi Chrissie - I agree with those see through plastic boxes - I have all my card and paperstock in them - must have 20+ around the place... well worth the money.
