Happy Wednesday to everyone and it is that time again to see what lies on my desk.... but if this is new to you head over to Julia's blog and join in with all the fun. The link below will head you over for all info and hope to see you there.


The days seem to fly by lately with the general daily tasks, decorating and getting ready for Christmas....... never enough time in the day. As it is almost december my oldest daughter offered to help me with my baking list I seem to have a easy but large list of favorites that I just can not have. 

Okay to what you have popped over for my desk......


I took more of a side view as I didnt want all the boxes that seem to still be laying around waiting to be put away since last week or have they been there longer. Nothing really done since last week but the album I started is to the far left which yes i am still working on it not much left til its finished. I have started making a few new mini albums which is surround my paper cutter at this moment. There is more done since i have taken the picture and just have to put them together tomorrow. Didnt take a picture but I have about 50 or more cut out snowflakes sitting on my table waiting to be stuck on windows and the bathroom mirrors. I am also going to cut more out on my cricut to make a winter town scene.... something my dad and loved how it looks standing outside looking in.


My two dies arrived today that I ordered at the local scrapbook store which match my stamps I treated myself some time back....  and beside that is a Simple Stores mini album kit with their Farmers Market paper line that. I can not wait to start making it either. 

So this is my desk for this week and I'll try my best to get around to 
everyone just this week just have alot going on for the rest of the week. 

Thanks for stopping by....
Hugs ~Anne 😉

It is Wednesday and it is that time again to join in the fun and see what everyone has been up to peeking into there desks. Join in the fun over at Julia's blog where you will find more details.


Time has been seemly moving so fast and days are flying into weeks for me. I haven't gotten to much done since last week and I have been really trying to get the house decorated for Christmas. This is my desk last Tuesday night, I made a quick base of this mini album late Monday night so I could do it at work when slow. So this is my desk after unpacking my bin I took with me today. The surround area has piles of stuff that needs to be put away and empty bins from my decorations that needs to be put away in the crawl space once again. 


Here is the images I have been colouring into my first Christmas card which has turned into a very thick shaker one. 


I have a mini folio album I made a few years back for my sister in law for Christmas and asked her if I could take some pictures so I might be able to post up a completed one I have finished. I followed a tutorial on You Tube from Super Happy Scrapper. Here is a picture of the cover.

Well that is it for me and I am off to hop around and pop in to see what everyone has been up to for the last week. Everyone have a wonderful week and thank you to for leaving a comment.

It is Wednesday and time to head over to Julia's blog and see what everyone's been up to. If you are new to WOYWW information is at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.ca and join in the fun with crafters from all over the world.

Haven't really been at my desk to much in the last 7 days as it has been a tad hectic, I just want to say to everyone who comment last week I so enjoyed reading everyone and am sorry I didn't get back to everyone or visit everyone's desk. To what you have popped in to see my desk......


Yah, it is a start of making a few Christmas cards with a new Lawn Fawn Frosty Fairy Friends stamp and die set. The markers to the left are my daughters grey touch markers, Bo Bunny paper, cards and envelopes. So I am hoping to at least get 5 cards made is my goal and if I great more done it will be a bonus. I had my daughter show me some tips with colouring so not bad for first time using these makers to shade so much...... Not as easy and quick as I thought it would be. 


Here is the layout for this months challenge almost done as late today I did notice I forgot a title.


Here is October layout challenge I forgot to even take a picture of it to post and to make it more special is I won the draw ...... Yah!!!

Well here it is Wednesday again and time to see what everyone is up to and if you are new to this desk hop head over to Julia's blog for full details and joking into the fun. 


Okay so what I have been up to.....which hasn't been as much as I like but I pushed everything aside to work on this months challenge for the local scrapbook store. Yes I did have to tidy up a bit but I lost my scissors and foam squares under piles......so this is very clean from a few hours ago.


To the left is a box of blank cards and to the top mixed up with some starting embellisments to make some Christmas cards, I got side tracked with the new layout you can see in the middle. 


Here is a quick close up of it not finished just drying the snow texture under the house and snowman, still have a bit more before done. I did use my Cricut to cut out the house, embossed with Tim Holtz brick folder and then dry brushed Shaz on white ink for that frosted cold brick look. Post a picture up when I finish it. 

Don't forget next Tuesday I close my giveaway and will be posting the winner on my Wednesday post. Take a peek on last weeks WOYWW post for details and a picture of all the goodies.you can still enter just leave me a comment on this post and I will add your name to the draw. Also thank you to everyone who visited me last week and left me such warm comments. Okay I am off to see what everyone has been up to.
