WOYWW 124

Omg...so embarrassing! The state of my desk is just disgraceful! I'm not living up to the 'neat' reputation I had going here. LOL 


But that's OK! I wanted to show you my desk anyway because there are some things on it that I'm very proud of. 
 

First: I just got a pink ATG gun! Ah! I’m so excited!

Second: Recycling. I’m making a magazine rack out of a cereal box again. This time, I’m covering it with some packaging paper that came in a shipment I received and then I’m stamping on the paper to decorate. (That's the brown box on the right on top of the pile of stuff). 
I also have a box that used to hold a roll of aluminum foil. we finished the roll and I'm going to dress up the box with scrapbooking paper and ribbon and use it as a gift box for some mini cupcakes. 
      Like this: 
 

Third: I rolled my loose ribbons and those with broken spools on to some traditional clothespins and used florist pins to keep the ribbon in place. So pretty! 

Ok, now it's my turn to come around and look at your mess, I mean desk :) 
Thanks for looking, see you around! ;)

    Wonderful upcycling ideas, esp. the foil box - I'd never have thought those could be used again for anything! You have to remember to pull of that nasty sharp edge, though, I suppose.

    I think your desk looks just great. Full of lovely positive creativeness!

    Happy belated WOYWW. I'm running late because I've been busy setting up my new Etsy shop.

    Oooh, I love the idea of turning an aluminum tin foil box into a cupcake box! Nice! (And I have all three ATG guns, the red, the yellow and the pink - but the pink is my favorite!)

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    ...

Christmas with Clear Scraps & DCWV

Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for ...
