What's on my workdesk this Wednesday? CRAFT STUFF!!!!!

Please..... try not to hold your breath for too long.....but it's true....

I have craft stuff on my table!!!!!!!!!!!! lol




..and a Little Myz too as Mummy has shared some germs with her and she's off school. Stroke of luck really as I've not been well enough to make presents for the teachers so I've got her making them some cards ;)

All week i have been pottering little by little, getting things ready for the card-make-a-thon that Would Definitely Happen By The Weekend..... (...Even If I Had To Do It laying Down lol)

Nothing special... Just a Let's Make cards stash (from 3 mags ago!!!! omg they are piling up lol) but trying to ease myself in gently.

It started Not So Well Actually..... there were tears as wobbly hands stuck things in the wrong place and many things ended up consigned to B for Bin....but I ended up with a few.....

These first ones (or ones like them) are what caused all them there tears... I hadn't had my PC on (hurts my eyes really fast at the moment) so I worked out that I could make them by just getting a normal card and scoring one side in half...



Sort of works but the first lot the top wouldn't go down at all and kept flying in the air! If i don't push the oval-duck one down it flies off even now! lol...... so maybe I'll take a look later and see how you are supposed to do them ;)




I like these ones best.... they is having ribbons on and I think they looks purdy!



What's on your workdesk this Wednesday? Please come and share it with us here.... it can't be any worse than mine can it?! lol

*hugs*

    Glad to see a hive of industry going on there - off to check out Little Myz now.

  4. LOL no Carmen I think the reason I liked them was that they had ribbons on :)

    Couldn't find any other ribbons i had that went with the stash though so those were the only two 'awarded ribbons' :)

  9. What awesome cards. Now you may be crying, but I thought it was because of your daughter crafting. Had to reread that it was YOU having all the B for Bin problems. Great post today. Happy WOYWW. Hope you are feeling better by the weekend. It's a bear to be sick and have a very important date.

  12. She's always busy is little myz she puts me to shame . I don't use my stash enough. You have one very happy girl there. I can't do those cards either i tried one last week and put it in the bin. Yours look far better than mine.

  13. They all look fab Gail, I do a few easel cards like your first couple...try scoring the other side to make the card behave, and make the crease really sharp...mine pop up too, I just get aggresive with 'em and also set the step thingy on the base of the card slightly fractionally further back than I planned and it works. Whatever, don't let it get you down - it's meant to be fun!
