Out of Chaos

Comes the crafting.
After what seems like forever I finally have some order in my craft room once more and it shows. Since I finished putting things into the right places I have been feeling incredibly inspired and have been crafting away like crazy.

So without further ado here is my photo for this weeks WOYWW
And the first glimpse of my new improved workspace (thanks Dad!)
On there are a lot of things that will be familiar if you've been here before. My regular desk buddies as it were. And there are a few things hinting at my renewed creativity. The remains of my June counterfeit kit are there in the process of being turned into a scrapbook page, there is a bag of cards I made at craft club yesterday, a bargain box of A4 paper I picked up at the same time and a couple of cards waiting to be sent.

This card went last week but I still wanted to share it
It was for my 60 years young Aunt and I just had to use that Wild Rose Studio stamp. I also used Papermania's new birthday range.

This one uses the same range and is still on my desk as it isn't our friends son's first birthday until tomorrow

I'm loving how both of these cards turned out.

I've also been scrapping but sharing my new LOs will have to wait for another day because the battery on my camera is dying.

Happy Crafting

I am still in a period of uncreativity but I am hoping that it is on its way out. I did nothing of a creative nature after posting my desk last week unless you count staining the garden bench but having to half clear out my craft room did nothing to inspire me. In fact I think that the definite state of upheaval in my craft room has been having a bad effect on me. That is changing in so much as yesterday my dearest dad came and fitted the worktop that is to be my new work area and since I have been working busily to get everything where it needs to go.





I am however feeling inspired today and might have to have a little play with a new purchase. After craft club this morning I went over to a local garden centre hoping to find a jewellery kit suitable for the neice's birthday. I didn't find what I was after although I did buy something towards her gift and a future gift for himself which has been hidden away in a spare room drawer (a note to myself should I not be able to find it later in the year).





This was what I bought for me


Cardstock from the Tim Holtz and Ranger Distress Collection by Coredinations. Now I love coredinations cardstock so just had to pick out some of my favourite Distress colours to play with, they are from the bottom: Dusty Concord, Spiced Marmalade, Broken China, Victorian Velvet and Tumbled Glass. Time to play I think!
