Raining kisses and WOYWW

Carol's sketch fun is back! I loved playing along with Carol's sketches last year and she is back now with a new Challenge after a well earned break. Every fortnight, Carol releases a sketch to follow and this fortnight she has a wonderful prize for the lucky winner.


I had ordered these stamps from Elzybells a while back but this is the first time I have used them. I decided to make a bright a cheerful card as an antidote to all this horrible snow we keep having. I have definetely had enough of the snow now!


I used Cosmo Cricket Umbrella papers (which I bought yesterday) to cover my base card and the paper strips are from the DCWV Citrus stack (a firm favourite of mine at the moment!) I used some lovely textured card to stamp my image onto. I actually bought this at my local hardware store when we were snowed in! What a find!
The sentiment is also from Elzybells. The felt circle is from Making memories and the button is from my stash.
Unbelievably....it is also already Wednesday! So time for WOYWW. I forgot to take a piccie of my desk this morning, it was very tidy anyway so was a bit boring.


This is what it looks like now.....not tidy! Nothing very exciting on there really, a whole lot of Promarkers, my favourite linen string which I bought at a Carboot sale so is irreplacable! My silver jars have my buttons in sorted by colours. There is a lovely Whiff of Joy stamp on the desk which I received from my blog buddy Claire for Christmas which I intend to mount on klingon and use for my next Card. Why not head on over to Julia's blog and check out all the other desks, you could even upload a link to a photo of your desk...we would love to have a nosey at it :-)
Am off now to tidy my desk! I hope you all had a good day and managed to avoid any snow dramas!

  4. Oh linen string..I have a few metres in 2 colours and have sort of stopped using it in case it er, runs out! You don't see it everywhere! Your desk looks productive Jane, which of course it has been. I love that card - you are very good at cheerful! I have the citrrus stack too...again, a bit reluctant to use it....gah!
