Hi! I've just been on a little holiday hiatus... and now I'm hoping to jump back into crafting....
Yesterday was What's on Tap Tuesday and today is What's on Your Workspace Wednesday. (The difference? I run WOTT and Ms. Julia in the UK runs WOYWW, a worldwide version that's fun to check out. If you'd like, you can link in here and/or there. Here's what's going on on my desk this week....
I have to laugh when I review my photo and notice that the little perpetual block calendar is usually behind the times. I guess I haven't changed it since Oct 5th. Lol.
What's out on the desk is the new Stampin' Up designer paper series called Domestic Goddess (a phrase Roseanne Barr used once and I took a liking to... *grin*) I had to use it with this My Favorite Things (MFT) stamp set called What's Cooking? because they really complement each other. This week's MFT sketch really helped me put this card together quickly. I just love sketches.... sigh...
Anyway, you'll also see my little twine and ribbon case. Not large enough to hold all my ribbons but these are favorites. I found those Making Memories buttons at a local discount store and as much as I love them, they didn't make the cut for the card because I dug up a charm that looked like measuring spoons to me (they're probably lollipops or somethin') so they took the place of a button. The sketch had a circle on it, but I decided to use an MFT flower die meant for rolling a 3D flower. I left it flat but inked all the edges. I like the interest it adds. When it came to the sentiment, I wanted to make it as small as I could so that the patterned paper could shine and I wound up using these very inexpensive decorative scissors by Fiskars. They made it so easy to trim a nice stamp edge design close to the words.
This card is going out to my s-i-l for her upcoming birthday. I forgot to take a picture of the inside of my card but I'll tell you that I used the back of my patterned paper because it was a soft yellow pattern that would be good for writing on and I was thrilled to find it happened to have a pretty red flower in one corner. Effortless embellishment, love that.
Here's the finished card.
Thanks for dropping by. I'll try not to be a stranger from now on!

adorable card, cindy! love the way you used the flower die!
You're right - they ARE perfect together! I might play today, since I'm on VACATION! :)
I love how you used the rolled flower die!!! Oooh, and I see Maddie on your table, too!!!! :)
The card is super cute.
Love the card! I really like the look of the tag with the words. Did you use distress ink for that? When I do it I must press down too hard because it doesn't come out looking even like this. A hint?
Fabulous card and I love your collection of bakers twine.
Great desk and a super card with a great sentiment. Thanks for sharing with us this week. Hugs, Neet #8
Notice you have twine on your desk, wonder what you will be doing with that?
Have a lovely week.

Those little embellishments really DO look like measuring spoons. Lovely card. I would never have known you were a week behind in turning your calendar if you hadn't mentioned it (grin). Happy WOYWW from #11 this week.

Great desk and lovely card. Thanks for sharing.
Just a quick peek around the door this week as time is definitely not on my side! I did want to visit though.
Lovely desk to browse over - you just got back from Starbucks then - is that ice tea? And Cindy - do you have enough twine? Cute (twineless) card.
Very envious of your Bakers twine box.
