Hello fellow Desker, welcome to my desk in a wet and miserable Cape Town, South Africa.
Surprisingly you can actually see my desk...I have been flat out busy making card kits for a birthday party of eight 11 year olds at the store tomorrow and then kitting up for the double scrap page I am teaching on Saturday
Left on my desk after the kitting flurry is the new die from Couture Creations which I bought yesterday and the card I made with it as shown below and then there is the cutlery pouch which was a sample I made to test a theory and it worked, so now I will be making lots to sell at a craft market next week-end.
Thanks for the visit.
EDIT! Stop press! Look what was in my post box when I popped in at home at Lunch time! My RAK from Nikki! How awesome and I have the afternoon to play with it too! Thanks so much!

Lovely card and I can't wait to see the cutlery pouches you are making. I can see one in the picture but not sure what they look like in reality. Hope we get a bigger picture next week.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime - stay sane at the party. LOL

The card is amazing! And what a lot of wonderful goodies for you to play with - enjoy! It's good to read that it's rainy and gloomy in SA, like it is in Worcester, UK!! Not really, I hope the sun comes out real soon for you! Have a great week x

Oh that is a gorgeous card. A workshop with 11 year olds will be great because they are so enthusiastic at that age. Try and get a class of 14 year olds interested in designing (I'm a teacher)! Thank you for sharing and good luck, Ela x #106
ReplyDeleteBeautiful white card, Bella - sometimes the absence of colour can be a real tonic, and can have quite an impact!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and your nice comment - I must say I'd never heard of THAT use for old teabags ha ha!! It seems that there is no end to the usefulness of this humble little object!
Happy WOYWW,

I love the idea of cutlery wraps...those sort of details at a 'do' are just fab, huh. Bet they sell really well. Crikey you've got the kit end of the deal this week, it's hard work isn't it...hope by now it's finished and done, will be looking for the double page LO on your next few posts!
ReplyDeleteI love that card! I really like the limited colour palette and the effect is wonderful. Sorry its taken me so long to get around - its been quite a week! #4
