What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 122
Make sure to pop on over to Stamping Ground to see what everyone else is up to: HERE

Not very much in the way of 'making' stuff this week.
When I snapped the picture I had all sorts of hair stuff on the desk... it's Crazy Hair day at the lil'boyz school so I set up a hair makeover station:
*Gel
*Hairspray
*Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists (blue bin)
*Loads of Glitter
*Lil'Boyz!
Don't get to create on these 'canvases' very often... lol. Usually I'm busy cleaning THEIR creations off of them. Heading out the door with sunglasses on they looked like Rock-Stars. It's also Thomas's 7th Birthday!!! Turnip is growing too fast.

The Buttons are from the Ottawa Browncoats Charity Serenity Screening we went to Sunday. William won 'Best Male Costume' for his rendition of Wash.
I tossed a family picture on down at the bottom of the post. :O)

Beside that a few lil' projects I have on the go... 3 cards for different challenges and my (late *blushing*) October DT page for Scrap Our Stash.
The Planet You Art journal, flyer for the OCTranspo Bus Rodeo in a few weeks and the usual mess of regular supplies.

Picture down near the bottom of the post is my Big-box-o-Etsy: Things I've been making & making & making but have yet to post. The box is getting too full so it's time for me to start writing drafts. (ugh) I do so dislike the 'not making' part. lol
and COFFEE!!!
of course.

The Mess:

Mini Rock-Stars!!!

The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC101

Wine...Smudge...Leather...Parchment

Now it's up to you to interpret what those

colors mean to you!

That's what we love about our challenge....

colors are subjective in many ways and we

like it that way for our challenge...so have fun!

Card is 4 1/4 " X 5 1/2".

I really liked the 'leather' this time and built my card out from there.
I've used the 'leather strapping' before on a Pirate Page for my youngest son and this prompt reminded me of that right away!
Strapping is brown cardstock, heavily inked and then studded with Antique Gold Brads. Worked well with the 'Old Barn' pattern paper. :O)
Arrrr!

Cardstock, Patter Paper, Inks and Stamps are Stampin' Up!

'Published' in Scrapbooking.com's October Issue!

I was 'Published' in Scrapboking.com:
Mentioned waaay back, when they had me writing the articles up, that I had 3 layouts being published in the upcoming October Issue of Scrapbooking.com.
They're up now! :O)
They have been published for 'reading' with how-to tutorials as well as being made into YouTube Videos.
If you click on the Videos, then click on them again when they start playing, it will then take you to YouTube where they can be seen 'bigger' than the lil'strip in my Blog Template allows.
Heeeere they are!
