Whats on Your Workdesk Wednesday

Morning everyone!

Well it feels like a lifetime ago that I actaully did WOYWW over on Julias blog.

As you can see from my photographs, my craft room is in the middle of being reorganised, as I don't know about you, but if I can't see stuff, I don't use it. There are so many things that are still in their shop bag!!

Today I have 8 cards to make and then I have to start on the 50 children invitations for my kids birthdays...daughter wants girlie, son wants dinosaurs...anybody with an easy idea on what to make would be a lifesaver!

Can't wait to come and have a visit at your workdesks! Thanks for stopping by!

Hearts & Sparkles!

Evening everyone!

Hope you are having a nice Saturday. I am bogged down with so many Valentine card orders, that I started making cards that I wasn't liking...so I took a step back from the orders and decided to make the kind of valentines card that I would like.

I have also finally mastered how to make those bulky envelopes for cards that have embellishments on them. I much prefer making these than making boxes!! I am working my way through making templates for all the sized cards that I have.
