Yesterday afternoon I had great plans to do some crafting........However I decided to tidy my dies. I had bought a index card box and decided to attach all my dies to C6 pieces of magnetic mat and file them in the box. I needed more Magnetic mat which I knew I had but couldn't find. That was my plans out the window as I starting looking through all my stash, tidying as I went, and finding things I forgot I had such as my MCS parchment delights CD rom which was still unopened. This brings me to my desk, on it you will see that last night I decided to play with this CD and my flowery frame was the result. This is the first time I have tried any parchment craft, I know this is the 'cheats' way of doing it but to be perfectly honest I know I would not have the patience to do the 'real thing'
I printed out the frame, embossed around the lines and then coloured on the reverse with watercolour pencils.
I also had a really good tidy up, which for some reason gets me in the mood for crafting,
If you wonder what I am babbling on about then pop over to
Julia's and she will explain. I managed to get round more than half of last weeks desks and can't wait to see what you have all been up to over the last 7 days

loving your fabulous work area thanks for sharing - and hope you get a chance to craft soon - lv Liz
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the tidying - I think it makes desks look even more inviting but then it just leads to more crafty mess! :D xx Leo
ReplyDeleteHi Carolynne, well you've been busy, love the tidy desk and that's a very special frame, how are you going to use it? can't wait to see ;0) xx
ReplyDeleteGreat work area, it's amazing how much stuff turns up when you have a tidy up isn't it? Lisa x

I've never done parchment, so I don't think you're cheating at all! Think it all looks fabulous. Lovely lot of pencils and punches you have too!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy WOYWW!

I think WOYWW has us all worried about keeping our spaces tidy but having fun crafting is really more important. :-)

It is nice to have a tidy up and find some forgotten stash it! I havent tried parchment craft either but that card looks lovely so dont think of it cheating but more of utilising your time efficiently! Thanks for sharing - Sunshine Girl (28)
ReplyDeleteLoving that frame. At first when I just looked at your pictures the bottom one drew my eye to it and I thought it was a decorated cake. Honest! Just look and see if you see that.#45
