Yay! It's that time of the week again, when us crafters from all over the world join Julia over at Stamping Ground for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday.
Last week's one was fun and I found some new craft blog friends...I've seen some awesome stuff.
I take my photo on a Tuesday evening and this week, I was most excited to get home and try out my Christmas gifts to myself...
Basically, as I missed the WOYWW after Christmas when everyone got to show off their awesome Christmas gifts, I thought I would show you what I bought myself. Fortunately, I went a bit crazy in the Sizzix mega sale and on my desk are the things I bought that I tried out.
New embossing folders (you get x4, an owl, a pear, a flower and an A6 floral one), a Reindeer die - couldn't resist him, so gorgeous, finally some Framelits - I have been covering these for quite a while now..I also bought a letterpress plate for the Big Shot - it is awesome, it will require some mastering though.
Also on my desk are my glasses, some tape (for using with the Framelits), my glasses, a 1 inch square punch that I use to make flag banners, 2 interesting flower punches - I can't describe the technique :( - so go here and check them out. My fave Woodware scalloped heart punch (you'll see what I've been up to tomorrow) and the rest is pretty much on my desk every week..
Oh and before I wish you Happy WOYWW, check out my post about the cards that were on my desk last week, lots of you commented on them and I thought you'd enjoy seeing the finished result.
Happy WOYWW everyone!!

ReplyDeletethank you for your tip-now where do i get lighter fluid?? love your dies-have fun using them x
ReplyDeleteNo problem Ellie. You get it from the tobacco counter at a supermarket or at a newsagent. Cx
DeleteLooks like you're having fun. I think the only way to get the right present is to buy it yourself!
ReplyDeleteBTW Thanks for the tip left at Ellies Handmade cards.
Nice Christmas presents - always a nice thing at any time of year! love the bicycle die!
ReplyDeleteHey Julia, the bicycle die is awesome! I am going to attempt journaling when I move to NYC and I think this will be great to use on random pages...
DeleteAbsolutely love seeing everyone's toys. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSorry I am 2 days late hopping to your desk. Been battling a nasty flu bug.
