What's on your workdesk wednesday

It's another WEDNESDAY, so you know what that means? Yes, yes, yes, it's another WOYWW. I'm so sorry for being so late with my posting, but I had tons of stuff to do for my job (as I am a teacher and work is nover done) and we have a different time zone here in Belgium, so I am always and ever late :)








And here's my room from another view. You should see me taking this picture every week, holding the camera so I don't see a single thing not knowing what picture is going to show. Really, it's as big of a surprise to me as it is to you!




And here is my amazing storage space. As my scraproom is currently in my bedroom, I have some storage issues. So now I keep everything under my bed in boxes. How's that for being so tidy? LOL.
I actually had to lie on the floor to get this shot! Yes, I go to the extremes for WOYWW :D



Remember how I told you last that the flowers on my workdesk weren't the only ones I got?
Well, I keep the rest of them contained in glass containers, all stored together in one box. They didn't fit onto my workdesk anymore :)
This is as organised as I can get! Every container has a different colour of flowers there. I know, I could open a store with all those flowers and still I've got the feeling that I need more!!!




And off course, I can't let you go without a picture of the card I've made and why my desk is looking as it is now.
So enjoy!

And thanks to everyone for leaving all those wonderfull comments!
I'm so sorry I can't visit everyone, as my time is limited.
Last week it took me four complete hours to get to half of the list and leave comments.
I have this strange way of doing so. I get to about a quarter of the people, then I think it's sad for the people who get last and probably don't get that many visitors. Then I get tired half way through that and keep picking without any order. After two days, the highlights are gone and I totally forget who I have visited. I'm SORRY. And you thought I was organised hm??

Congratulations!




Some wonderfull news! People I know just had a baby boy, Kenzo.
I couldn't let this moment pass without making a card, so here's my take on it.




Have you noticed that I didn't use any flowers here?




I couldn't pass up the chance of decorating the inside with my new toy: shrinkpaper. I just love it!

With this card I used the sketch from Double Dutch, so I can enter this challenge

Papers ~DCWV and some cardstock
Stamp ~ Iris
Metal charms ~ Whiff of joy

WOYWW - Work in progress



Hi!

Celebrations everywhere for the first year anniversary of What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. No clue what I'm talk
ing about? Pop over to Julia Dunnit who was the inventor of this great .. euhm... invention. LOL
She asked us to make something especially for the celebration, but I've only found out about this blog one week ago, so didn't had the time to make something. I almost didn't post, because my blog was looking EXACTLY the same as last week but then...
I came up with a great idea that turned out no
t using my great idea, but became a card instead. SO... this is a 'happy birthday-card' to WOYWW. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
And here are the pictures from my 'work in progress' workdesk as I was becoming very creative.



And here you can find my desk from another corner.



Last week a lot of people suggested that I decorated the drawers myself. Actually, I didn't! My mother did it! We have had this drawers for as long as I can remember. It stood in our bathroom and when we moved I kind of begged my mom if I could get it. She wasn't planning on doing anything with them, so I got them. Yay!

I also thought it would be nice to show you my flowers/buttons that are not too far away from me when I'm crafting. This is not all of it, but you'll have to come back next week to be able to see what other secrets I still have got stored in my craftroom/bedroom :)




And off course here's a picture of my completed work and now my desk looks really tidy again. (yeah, can you believe it? I have to keep up my 'tidy'-status now hm? :-) )




Materials!

Stamp ~Whiff of joy (yes, the same as last post, I was planning something totally different LOL)
Flowers ~ e-line and ... ?
Embellies ~ Whiff of joy, buttons
Punches ~ leafs (Nellie Snellen)/butterflies

What's on your workdesk Wednesday?

Hellow!
I've found a great new blog, where you are asked to take a picture of your workdesk on wednesday. It's great to look at all those people who are running their creative minds.
This week, I've decided to take part as well. I worked on a card yesterday and this is how my desk still looks after finishing my card.



This desk actually stands in my bedroom. I still live with my parents, so I can use my bedroom as a scraproom too.
It kinda looks tidy haha. The box on the right side with the blue lid is where I store my copics. The desks with all the drawers (looks like those hands are waving at you guys, hellow :-)) are not only for my scrapbooking supplies, allthough it be good space haha. But since I'm a girl, there are much things for my hair maintenance as well. LOL.

And off course I have to show you what I've done with all the papers that are laying on my desk...






So this is the card I made. And with this card I can enter a few challenges too. Who's multi-tasking now :)
I've tried something different to colour the dress of the dear princess. At first I didn't like it, but I didn't dislike it as well. So I decided to give it a go and glue it on my card and now I think it looks rather fine. Sometimes things come together hm...

I hope you've enjoyed looking!

Let's celebrate!




At Whiff of joy they are looking for some new guest designers.
Besides the fact that these stamps are yummy gorgeous and you just got to have them, this is one of the reasons why I first started buying them... to be able to enter a guest designer contest!
Every 16th of the second month Katharina hosts this and this isn't the first time I'm entering :-). I hope to be part of this amazing team someday so I putted my bestest coloring hat on and decided to give a go at her colour challenge:
red, orange and one additional colour (I choose brown).
The backing paper looks a bit pink, but I can assure you that it is red. Strange...
So, here we go.
To celebrate her design team call I choose for Celebrating Henry Mouse. I think he holds on to a yummy strawberry or cherry cupcake. I like it so much that he almost falls over being the cake so heavy, but if I saw something that nice I wouldn't let it go either LOL.
Click on my blinkie to take you to everything that Katharina has to offer.

Ingredients:
Paper: MME, cardstock,...
Stamp: Henry Mouse by Whiff of Joy
Punch: my new Martha Stewart (been drooling on that thing for about two months now *hysterical laugh*)
Flowers: Prima's and other stuff, no idea what :)
Colour medium: Copic markers
Extra: leaves, rosebuds and buttons
