hi wednesday desk hoppers and other nosey people
Gosh the time goes quickly when you're having fun. And fun I have been having in Altered Book land! My side desk is now officially AB desk. In other words . . . messy!
I have just finished lesson 3, which is just as well as lesson 4 started yesterday. I will post the pictures tomorrow if you want to see them, or visit altered book lover
Back to today and my normal desk. Julia says show us your desks, so here it is! http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/
My normal desk is under wraps at the moment. I have just started D2 wedding invites, I think they are going to take a while.
On the left you can see 2 little geckos, she was having them on the invitations but changed her mind to something more traditional.
That said, here are the cards I made for my Mums for Mother's Day.
My Mum- in- Law was poorly in Hospital at the weekend (home and much better now ), she couldn't have flowers so I made her a plaque instead. . . she wore it around her neck.
(Please note; The plaques are about 5" tall, so good to see she has her sense of humour back.)
I painted the MDF heart and made Tim Holtz tattered pincone roses.
Of course I made my Mum one too
Well I've shown you mine now I'll look at yours, as many as I can get to that is!
see ya !

oh your cards are absolutely beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see the sneak peek at your AB. It looks like it's coming along well.
ReplyDeleteAt first I was having a terrible time leaving comments on blogs tonight. They didn't want to post. NOW I get "service unavailable when I try to leave a comment. It's really frustrating. Happy WOYWW from # 7.
Beautiful cards! And those pendants are fabulous-the roses turned out great! Dani32
ReplyDeleteHi Janet,

ReplyDeleteyour plaques are great,will last longer than flowers,good luck with the AB,you are further ahead than me,x
ReplyDeleteI must admit I do feel a little snoopy peeking in to everyone's desk but I suppose I'll get used to it.
ReplyDeleteI love your Mother's Day cards and had a chuckle thinking about them comparing them :D
Lovely gifts and I think it's great they both compare notes as it were... I haven't done my lesson 4 work yet, not sure when that will happen!

I love your cards/plaques. I hooted when I read that your MiL wore hers around her neck!! Great sense of humour in a difficult situation - that's what'll get her better :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #68 xx
How funny that your MIL wore her plaque around her neck but then it is lovely. I was also making TH pinecone roses yesterday but yours are prettier than mine, you must have spent an age curling those petals they look so realistic .

Lovely job on the mother's day cards, Janet. Glad you are enjoying altering your book too!

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on my blog and the head's up. I visited some blogs Tuesday night before I linked so that's why. I'm #141 on WOYWW now that I've linked and it seems to link back to my blog from there just fine now. (I hope.)
ReplyDeleteWow, love those cards! And so much stuff to see in your space. Have a good week xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Mother's day cards, we don't have that until May. Seems we all are having other desks this week and cleaning and organizing!! Just no time for me lately.."Life" too busy here. There's a story behind the SPAM can@!!! I had to save one. My son wanted Spam for Xmas one Year...he was kidding of course but he got 10 cans of spam ---and he won't eat it!!!! HA HA...I used it in Scalloped Potatoes, Bean Soup, anywhere where HAM would have been used and he never knew the difference.!! So I kept a can just for the memories. Happy WOYWW
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards that you have made for your mums! Made me giggle that you have to make them the same as they compare them! Don't want to hurt anyone's feelings for sure! And how cute that your mum in law wore her plaque around her neck! Obviously very proud of her daughter in law!
ReplyDeletexoxo Karne #169
What beautiful creations, I would say I was ill just to get one of those!! LOL
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling and creating, stunning art work
I had to giggle at how you had to make your cards the same because they would compare. How sweet to make them a plaque as well--Longer lasting than flowers anyway! Lots of good things on your desk, and goodbye wedding geckos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards you have made there and those hearts. You have made those roses beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI am way behind on the AB but have a craft fair on Sunday and then I can play catchup!!
Thanks for your visit. The chair is comfy and a bargain at £17!! Oh and it is very PINK!!
You look as though you are in full swing with your AB. There seems to be Altered Book fever around Blogland at the minute.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are gorgeous and I love the plaques. Well done to your MIL for wearing hers.
Happy WOYWW

I'm so late this week, blame my dentist, but determined to visit you. You're making me feel so ashamed because I am way behind on the AB project ... yours seems to be progressing nicely and good idea to keep a dedicated area for it alone. Your cards and plaques are gorgeous and I loved the story about your MIL wearing hers :)) Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Elizabeth x #73
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful cards you made for your mom and mother-in-law...how funny that they will compare and you want them the same! But I don't have a mother-in-law so no worries for my Mother's Day card, huh? :)
