WOYWW #458 {a small mess}

Happy Desk Peeking day, if you'd like to see more spaces or 

play along this hop starts here at our hostess Miss Julia's blog.

 

Last Wednesday was our son's 22nd birthday and by the time I remembered it was Wednesday it was already Thursday and there was nothing to share. 

 So, last Sunday our son ( who is home on leave) went to his oldest friends house to spend the night and I snuck upstairs and made 3 simple cards the first was the first one in the post before this with the dear spring sentiment. behind that I did a couple of quick coffee winter/Christmas/friendship type cards from some Unity to-go coffee cups done in red ( the upright mug shot is below) The markers and stamps all on the table went into doing the spring card. ( and it still looks like this)

 A closer look at the center that thing in the middle I ordered on Valentines day from that Antique farmhouse site. it arrived on tuesday here. It is metal and fairly heavy for its size ( 14" tall) the spring is tight and I just might paint it. maybe adding some greens over the fake industrial grey/ grunge thing. I intend to use this to maybe hold up tags during shoots and or at the booth next November.

The unity stamps set these came from is called comfort to go. I did stamp the cover with Versafine satin red. I had picked up a tulip red (new versafine I forgot its other name coffee is still loading here) and it is nearly the same color of red ( the satin red and tulip red look the same to me anyways)
So, that's about it for me, we still have just a few days left of having him home and tomorrow I will be driving all day for work, so I am going to try to get a lot of stops in today. ( I hope) Thanks for stopping by! :)
