It's ages since I joined in with WOYWW, mostly because I didn't have my craft room to use, but I am now back in and nearly re-organised - pics of that next week. If you would like to take a trip around the world to see other people's creative spaces then pop on over to Julia's blog at The Stamping Ground and be amazed at what you see.
This is how I left my desk last night with the potential of four different projects in all these bits and pieces. The paints show the colours of a piece I am in the middle of making for Tim's Tattered Florals challenge, the box has been painted ready to alter but I keep changing my mind as to what I am going to put on it, but it does hold an experiment of creating a little bird's nest for something Eastery lol. The little caddy is another idea I have currently discarded and the two pieces in the front have been the distraction this week. You know when you can't make up your mind about something and the inspiration hasn't truly hit you so you go off on a complete tangent and do something so totally different? Do you get that feeling sometimes? Well those are the result for me.
Here they are enlarged. Two double pocket envelopes. Don't ask where the idea came from I just don't know but I quite enjoyed playing with different colours and papers for a change.
This is the reverse side.
They can easily hold two fairly flat ATCs, some die-cuts perhaps or even a gift card and a little note.
Here you can see I stuck two envelopes together. I had used the Tim Holtz Pocket Envelope die and used the Papermania Happy Days paperpad and some Bazzill core dyed cardstock.
These bottle tops were made using Tim's new movers and shapers die. Great effects and keeps your card fairly flat for posting too.
Well I decided as these came from absolutely nowhere I would make them a give-away this week to two commenters who would like to receive one of them. Just add your URL to the Linky below and I will do the draw on Saturday afternoon.
Enjoy the rest of your week and thanks for visiting. I will visit all the WOYWW blogs with the same end number as mine and more if I can.

The envelopes have such a lovely fresh design to them.
ReplyDeleteAs for your desk - so tidy! Some Fresco paints are on my own desk (not for public display lol) as Vintage Lace is my favourite, I am sure that doesn't come as a huge surprise!
