2 Sisters Challenge Blog - Flowers and Digi Doodle Shop - Paper Lace

Hi all, just posting my DT card for the 2 Sisters Challenge Blog, the challenge this week is Flowers with a twist!!! the twist being the image you use must have at least one flower on it, and we are being sponsored by Digi Doodle Shop, there images are fantastic and I have bought and used  quite a few of there images.  I'm also going to enter my card into their Challenge Blog which is also weekly and you don't have to use there images, the challenge this week is Paper Lace.  I used a martha stewart punch for my paper lace, it was supposed to be wider but I went wrong hence the ribbon covering a bit up lol.  My image has lots of beautiful pansies hence more than 1 flower and the image is from Digi Doodle Shop.

WOYWW 149 Thursday Oops!!!!

Hi all, can't believe I forgot woyww, if your wondering what this means it's What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday which is hosted by Julia, you all show your desks and share with each other, ok yep it's Thursday, I really am messed up with my days lol.  My working desk is full of DT projects so I can't show this but I have took a picture of my dumping desk, also (hopefully to get me to sort it out lol) I have shown you my dumping floor space which is full of stamps that need filing and ribbon.  Over the Easter period my OH has put some hooks on my stamp bookcase on either side (pic below) this is to hold some ribbons as you can see with the other picture that my jars are full, I have found a diecut from here which is a svg file for ribbon storage holders, you can also buy the jpeg and cut it out yourself if you haven't got a cutting machine.

Dumping desk (see the new ribbon!!!)

Dumping floor crying out to be sorted lol

Hooks for ribbon storage (on both sides of bookcase)

Ok I am addicted to ribbon lol

Right I better be off, hope you have a happy woyww crafting week.  Thanks for looking :-) Kezzy xxx

WOYWW 148

Hi all, I'm really late today so I shall be mega quick.  I haven't been doing any crafting over the last few days as the kids are off, and I have been spending some time with them before they went off to their dads last night for a weeks holiday.  Today my sister and I spent time colouring each others hairs and have a girly day which was really good, I'm the financial manager of her and her co-workers company and sometimes we forget to spend time as sisters instead of work colleagues so this was a rare occasion.  My OH has now took time off so we can spend some time together as well, so apart from my DT work I probably will only end up doing a few posts this next week.  So my workdesk is between projects, I also had a clean up on Sunday so one desk is empty!!!! and the other has a few ideas lurking about.  If you would like to see some fantastic desks than pop on over to Julia's Blog and have a real nosey lol.

Wow not seen my work in progress desk this clean for awhile lol.  Hope you all have a fantastic week, also enjoy a hopefully decent day weather wise on Easter Sunday.  Thank you for looking :-) Kezzy xxx

That Craft Place Challenge - Spring and Crafts 4 Eternity - 3

Hi all, it seems to be a gorgeous day outside again but slightly cooler I guess April is known for it's showers lol.  As you probably know by now I'm on the That Craft Place Challenge Blog, it's a fortnightly challenge blog but also (all deets are on sidebar) Lisa the owner runs a shop (just opened in new premises yesterday) that is jam packed full of crafty yumminess, she also runs an online shop and has just started another blog showing inspiration from us the DT using stamps that she sells, also giving inspiration for the challenge blog.  I would really appreciate if sometime you could visit the Shop Blog as it's very new and it would be great if we could find more followers to look at all our DT work.  So this fortnight the challenge is 'All About Spring' which over here in the UK it's felt slightly more like summer last week, but it's supposed to snow next week!!! 20 degrees down to 0 degrees, not looking forward to that, so hopefully all our spring cards will cheer everyone up and a reminder what's to come lol, also please check on over to see the other DT's work deets on sidebar.  I am also going to enter my card into the challenge over at Crafts 4 Eternity which is 3, i.e 3 flowers, 3 photos, 3 embellishments etc.

Right I better get some washing in and tidy up a bit before coming back and have a clean in my craft room, seriously I have been dumping papers, stamps etc all over the place and not had time to put bits away.  Hope you have a gorgeous Sunday. Thanks for looking :-) Kezzy xxx
