WOYWW - 14 December 2011

Only 10 days remain until the Big One... & I'm still making Christmas Cards!!!!

I have sent out all that need to be sent by post (all of which were hand made this year), those that I am doing now are for people that we will be seeing between now & Christmas Day. As I am in a Christmas mood I decided to get a head start on the cards for next year (great planning or wot???).

As for What's On My Workdesk Wednesday - My desk this week is a bit busy...


Ok, I did warn you... the most important thing on the desk at the moment is the Tea! I am freezing!!! 

As part of a 'CAS' selection of cards I decided to use a number of wooden ornaments brought from Create & Craft this year.  One set were Christmas images so using a selection of pens & glitter I have jazzed them up a bit...


Then using my distressing inks I created a background.  Some have snow & sky, others are just a single colour.

So far I have created 4 cards, with more to follow using the ornaments I have already coloured...


Also on my desk is a number of printed sheets from my new Joanna Sheen CDs (From the Heart of the Garden).  One of our team at work has been diagnosed with Cancer, I have been asked to make a card that we can all write in to send our best wishes.  So I thought that as this person enjoys gardening a card featuring flowers would be good.

Happy Wednesday to you all.

    Cute cards. I've seen the little wooden cut outs but wondered what I'd do with them -- thanks for the inspiration.

    Happy WOYWW!!

    Busy desk Helen! Now Ive finished the cards and now I'm knee deep in everything else, I'm in the mood to make some ally Christmassy cards, and would probably remember glitter!! Like what you've done with the wooden pieces, very clever.
