WOYWW # 587

 

Happy desk peeking day, if you'd like to see more spaces or play along 
the link up for this blog hop starts here at our hostess
There is also a new Instagram hashtag of #WOYWW

So, this is what my desk actually looks like this morning after 21 plus Dare to get dirty projects were completed and a few that fell short. the pile of left over backgrounds were ones I did for my own challenge and the photo below I meant to put into that chatter thread and some how did not. the pile on top of the file cabinet, see that basket that is over flowing? (that is new stuff I have not played with and the piles in front of it are also new stuff that did not fit in the basket and stuff I played with that needs put away still. yeah. for some reason it was easier to make piles than to put it away.

Distress Oxide inks on embossed panels.A few of these were used on various other challenges over the week and they can be seen in the previous post.

Now, this is something I did when I was making my sample for Lori's challenge and normally what I do to hold something in place to run it through my sewing machine ( yeah, I don's sew fabric very often I am much more likely to sew on cardstock) I wrap say lace or ribbons to the back side of the project and use a piece of scotch tape that is more towards the center and not where I am planning to stitch to help keep it from wiggling. but, this time I have the sentiment on a piece of vellum that I had cut the edges with a die the same as the panel below it and I wanted the scallops to align and for some ( who knows why reason I decided to try using the washi tape to hold the top piece of vellum on. ) and I was nervous about this as the peachy cup below that was PTI sweet blush cardstock ( and it pills and shreds if you do much of anything to it) so, I was really hesitant to try this as I could just see all the stitches turning out OK and then having the cup peel when the tape was removed. but, it worked the finished card can be seen two posts down from this one. :) so, that's my tip of the day. in other news the winds have been blowing the other direction for a few days now so, its been nice to see mountains and be able to breathe again lately. I hope you are all doing well, Thanks for stopping by.

Lol Stacy! It's a universal truth that it's easier to make a mess than to clear it up! What I need is a Mary Poppins to come and magic all my stuff away! I love your gorgeous embossed tags with the Distress Oxides - what a great idea. A lovely busy, productive desk. Thank you for visiting, and for your kind wishes re my ring - it's now 5 days and I think it's unlikely to turn up now. So sad... I'm glad you like my latest Romanian blouse. Pattern darning is so effective, isn't it.

Happy WOYWW,

I would be more worried if you didn't have a pile of stuff close by and hope you get chance to play with some of the new stash soon. Loving the card and the tags are looking interesting. Wishing you a very happy week and a creative woyww, Angela x10x

Ah Stacey, good to know that you have the knowledge of the piles too...this applies to my desk, my stamps and my clothes after ironing - I seem to hate putting stuff away! You have an amazing crack at all those challenges, good grief, I think you should be pleased at the look of your desk after such efforts! The DOxides look really nice on the embossing, and such a nice colour too. Good to hear the wind is bringing fresh air, long may that continue! Stay safe. X
