So this has turned out to be WOYWT(what's on your work desk thursday)!!  I'm just so busy can't find time for anything.  Doing overtime at work, trying to grab a half hour here and there to sit in the sun (before it disappears again) and getting some of these crafting projects done.
So can't tell you what projects on my desk as it's a secret remember!!  But the secret maybe out very soon.
MAYBE YOU COULD GIVE A GUESS BY WHAT'S ON MY DESK AS TO THE SECRET PROJECT?!!!
Nearly finished another mini album using the crafty individuals bits and bobs.  Will have those tutuorials up on my blog soon.

Will try to visit julia's blog and get onto some of your desks to see what your all doing this week.
Happy crafting

Hi everyone,

Well it's sunday morning and the sun is out.....have all Brit's forgotten what the sun actually looks like...it's been so long!!!!

I have just made another mini in a box for a work mate who has a 21st birthday this week.  I thought that it would be great to pop in some photos of her day.  These little albums are so quick to make and real fun,  a sort of little gift and card at the same time.  I added her name and packed it up in a cello  card bag and put on some ribbon and a tag, it looked so cute.
 
I've entered it into the Sir stampalot monthly challenge.  Have a go with what you are creating just now. My you tube tutorial for the mini in a box can be found here

Here are the pictures...

Hi,

Well whats on my work desk???   A MESSSSSSS!!!!!!

just take a look!

Well apart from the mini in a box which you can see on my last 2 posts it's just awful.  I have come to that stage where there is only 2" to work so I'd best have a clear up.

I have been working with the crafty Indivduals goodies and will soon have my 2nd tutorial project up on video for you. 

BUT I HAVE SOME MORE EXCITING NEWS!!!   It's a secret till I've finished this project which is why my desks in a state......I'm in the draft stage of chopping up bits of paper to make a pattern!!!

All I will say is that it's another big stamp company, one of my absolute favourites which  I'm sure you all love!!!!   News will follow soon....I have big ideas (that I hop I can pull off!!)...we shall see.

Off to Julia's site to have a look at your desks...Hope they're tidier than mine.!!!

Hi crafty people,

Here is the first project I've made with the crafty indiviuals bits that Jean and Malcom kindly sent me. I though the people and places pad full of images just lent itself to the mini in a box....so here it is.

THE VIDEO

If you want to have a go at one yourself the tuturial is up on my you tube channel  

Hi there,

Hope you have all had a great crafty week.

I have been very busy this past week and didn't manage to do a WOYWW last week. So i'm visiting julia's http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/ site today to catch up. 

My new job has been very busy indeed and I helped my daughter move (lots of packing and cleaning for 3 days!). I also visited the Newbury craft show with my friend Chris and bought lots of crafting goodies, just need some energy now to get going and use them. Got so tired that I had Monday off ( yes even from crating!!) just watched films and ate chocolate, a wonderful pick me up!

I also have some news  Malcolm and Jean from crafty Individuals are sending me some goodies so I can use them on some of my tutorials.  These stamps are one of my favourites and it will be great to show them to you all.  I love them because they give such a good finished image and they have lots of vintage images that are beautiful.  Here's a link to the site http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk 

Now I'm off to look at some of your work....

Hi, everyone,

I am just posting a few more photos of the beach hut album, which  as we speak is winging it's way to it's new owner.
I am trying to get on with the graphic 45 old curiosity shoppe album in a box but I feel like everything may be on hold as today I must pressure wash my back garden( oh joy of joys!!) I surpose you have to do something other than crafting at some time,  just to show willing!!!  Now I have started a new job soI have work tommorrow then out Sunday work mon,tues,wed then down to my daughters to help her pack for two days.  She is moving into a house share after having her own flat for a year she will find it a little strange I'm sure.  Saturday my partner in crime Chris is coming with me to Newbury show..can't wait.  Hope to find lots of crafting goodies.  Then Sunday back to Hannahs to bring back all her things we need to store!!! 

I will be shattered,  but worst of all there will be no time for crafting all week unless I can find some enery to do a bit after work.

Anyhow, enough of my ramblings....here's the photos.

beach huts

27th June 2012,

Hi everone,

So what's on my work desk this wednesday....The finished beach hut album!!
I have had great fun with this one, it made me feel sunny even when it was grey and raining outside.
I hope the couple I made it for feel the same.  I loved the papers and making all those little beach huts, I was going to put in some vintage beachy photos in at the begining but decided on a different more modern style in the end. 

The link for the video showing the finished album is below and there are also some tutorials on how to make it on my you tube channel along with lots of other tutorials you may find useful.
Also go to julia's channel to the WOYWW post to see whats happening on everyone else's desks!!

Hi everyone,

I have seen this adorable panda that you can win as a blog candy.  The site is in russian, it's a real shame you can't read the posts but this Lady is super talented.  You will fall madly in love with these gorgeous animals I promise you, they look so sad you just want to cuddle them.  Here is a link to the site http://abwgdeyka.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/blog-post.html#tab-latestpot.co.uk and a photo of  Enny.

Hi everyone,


Today is wednesday so what my workdesk looking like.  Well since comming back from hols I have been asked to do an album with a beachy theme.  So you can see I'm working away at that,  it's so much fun, loving the beach huts and finding all things seaside.  As soon as I'm finished I will get the tutorials up on my you tube channel and post the videos here too, then you can see the finished album and have a go at creating it yourself.  Any card makers out there that have not got into making mini albums nows your chance.  I have some easier albums on my you tube channel too so I need to convert you to scrapbooking!!!!!!

So Join in the Workdesk wednesday fun at Julia's site heres the link  http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/

Enjoy your crafting

Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while.  After being ill for 3 weeks I went on a 2 week holiday to tuscany which was wonderful. Drank lots of chianti and eat mounds of cheese!!! The people we meet and stayed with were wonderful and the countryside was amazing.  At this time of year the wild flowers are looking beautiful with poppys everywhere, a photographers paradise( I know I came back with 700 photos).  For those who know me Photography is another of my hobbies,  Friends probably cringe when they have to look at my holiday shots!!!  But I have deleted some of the 700, now down to 370,  I thought that was brave of me!!!!

Now I need to get on with some crafting!!
