WOYWW 89

Quite a bit of yesterday was spent messing around with this file. It has all sort of useful  information in it and one section has print-outs of Pink Petticoat colours. What I spent time doing yesterday was to go through each one in Paint and pick up the combos of Red, Green and Blue which make up each shade and writing them down on each colour of the palette.
It all started because I wanted to make the sentiments for these two Mother's Day cards in a font colour to match the paper. SO I thought whilst I was finding it out, I'd do the lot.
The cards have large sentiments printed with a SU alphabet which Mandi gave me, you may have seen a stack of sets of stamps she gave me some weeks ago.
 I love these and I made up positioning acetate squares to use with my Lego right angle in order to get them stamped where I want them. It's so useful!
My grandson Sebastian is doing well, thought you might like another peek!
Hop over to Julia's (the link is on my sidebar) to join in the world-wide snoop around workdesks and have a good day!

    What a good idea with the colours for pink petticoat....i use their stuff quite a lot and it would be handy to be able to colour match text etc. Another organising job to add to my list!

    You are such an organised crafter Chrissie.
    Your little man is looking to be thriving. Is that slightly sandy red hair I can see? We have lots of that in our families and I love to see it on new little ones. :-)

    Hi Chrissie, that must have been quite a time consuming task but, like most, well worth doing. I like the way you have filed small 'swatches' of the papers. I'll be keeping a note of this - a job to do with my digital papers. Your grandson is lovely. Elizabeth x #61

    aaawww Chrissie - he is absolutely adorable... i want to snuggle up and smell his babyness!!!

    I too have all the colour palette printed out from pink petticoat and the other day was organising my pc folders so that all the navy was together, all the bubblegum together - they were also kept in their design collections too - but if I wanted anything in blue - i'd look through the blue folder rather than an unorderly 'big dots' folder where all the colours are. Also, I was - and need to carry on doing, sorting all my DP's that are striped and copying them into a 'stripes' folder, or a dots and spots folder etc - regardless of the designer - the originals being kept in their respective folders (are you following). I know this will reduce my available GB's so will back all this up onto my external hard drive... while Kieran is still poorly and i'm not running around - I think I'll carry on where I left off night before last!

    Your grandson is soooo adorable.

    Great idea to use a piece of acetate of a positioner. Love your tip with the lego too. It must have been very satisfying once you'd finished organising your folder.Sue.

    Firstly, belated congratulations on the birth of Sebastian as I missed your news last week.

    Secondly, I'm impressed with how much use you're getting from that SU alpha set, I bet Mandi is delighted it's gone to a good home!!
