WOYWW

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!

  1. 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!

  12. 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).

  15. 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...

    The 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!
