A What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Sweeping Thanks on Inkscape Last week I showed you the new hot foil plate I got - Spellbinders Sweeping Thanks. This is a nice big sentiment that will fit on a variety of card sizes, even the smallest if you place it diagonally. I checked to…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Sheba (my Cougar cutting machine) has been earning overtime wages this week for all her hard work. Cutting, cutting cutting... lattices and fun with squares. Cracking the Carding Code I think I have finally cracked the code with card making. For too many years I've had a…
My apologies again for visiting so few people last week. I've been so busy, and I was keen to spend some quality time in the studio being creative. Only so many hours in the day, and those hours seem to get shorter by the day! What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? I have…
After my less-than-spectacular results yesterday, I had a really fun and creative afternoon in the studio today. I had a small job I wanted to do, and this had a spin-off which was unexpected, and not at all what I imagined I might be doing. Following Jennifer McGuire (see my previous post), she…

What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? I'm continuing to work on my die storage. We went to the Range last week and I bought some nice plastic baskets to store things in. The next question was, where do I store the baskets that I bought to store things in? I really like the…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? More fun in my revamped studio! Die cuts I've been using the ToDo to do lots of die cutting this week. Several years ago I went to a craft show and bought quite a lot of new dies, and immediately afterwards, I was taken ill and never…
I wasn't able to share this last week, but I am sure Cindy has received it by now so I won't spoil the surprise. This card is to say a big thank you to Cindy for the gift of her ToDo foiling machine, which I received shortly before I went into hospital for…
