What's on my work desk Wednesday

Here is my desk!



And here it is from a different angle!



Either way it doesn't look very tidy does it!
So maybe I can distract your attention and show you some of the projects I have been working on this week to cause the mess!



I made this card from some of the 'off cuts' of the background papers you saw me making last week. I am pleased to tell you I have used them all up and need to make another batch. I have completed 7 pages in the baby journal (I think I should have called it the pregnancy journal) I will just show you a couple as I'm sure you don't want to see all 7!



And this one



And this one



That should give you a bit of an idea of what I have been working on. My daughter seems to give me lots of material to make pages for the journal, this week alone she has been in hospital twice! I am hoping for a uneventful week this week no late night dashes to the hospital!

You can see a rather 'busy' desk here !
There are some stamped images I did at Art From The Heart a few weeks ago,using there Stampotique stamps, my pencils, a couple of tags I made with Lavinia stamps, some cards I made using up,the background paper I made a couple of weeks ago( you can see in more detail a couple of posts back) I coloured the Stampotique images and made a few cards, here is a couple of close ups of my Halloween cards. I will also link them to Simon say stamp for this weeks spooky challenge you can find out more here http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/









The floor is a mess and needs a good tidy up as well!

This is all I have achieved this week as I go to look after my daughter mon-Friday and have being doing so, for the last six weeks or so, as she is suffering with Hyperemesis Gravidarum, it's a pregancy related complication which 1% of pregnant women get. She has already spent time in hospital due to it. She has lost 10% of her body weight, however her baby is doing great and very wiggly!

A very busy desk for you to see this week!



From left to right you will see my craft bag on an old lazy Susan ( so much easier to get items out of) ink pads, cutter, Prisma pencils, my baby journal, background papers I made recently with ink sprays, stampotique red rubber stamps, my large journal to name but a fe of the bits and bobs!

Here is a closer look at the baby journal I started at Harrogate when I did a weekend course with Kate Crane, I hope to have completed it by the time my first Grandchild arrives!!!!!!









I am looking forward to completing more pages over the coming months. Before I end this post I wanted to show you this last picture of my daughters cat, he was like this when I went round to see her!

I have been playing with Dylusions ink sprays to make some background papers,the back ground I made is the yellow/orange/purple paper to the right ( if you want to see some step by step pictures read the blog post below this one)
I then made the card in the middle of my desk using the background paper, and some of the stamps on my desk,here it is close up



I bought the stamps at the weekend when I went to a two day workshop at Art from the Heart with Kate Crane, it was a great workshop!



This is one of Kate's pictures from her blog of us all working away, that's me right down the end!


It was a great couple of days working on journal backgrounds. I went with my friend Kim and we also found time for a trip to Betty's, here's our tea!
