Alfie and Puppy Card

Evening Folks

Hope you are having a great weekend. It's been not a bad day here, made all the better for seeing Jay And Alliona's jive on Strictly Come Dancing this evening ... fabulous fun!

I have another card made from rediscovered stash to share today.

This cute little digital topper and matching papers were printed out from a My Craft Studio disc, Alfie, so long ago I can't remember when.

To make the card I created an A6 buff coloured card base, matted and layered the topper, backing paper, belly band and sentiment on baby blue cardstock. The blue gingham ribbon was wrapped round the belly band and a knotted to one side. Both the topper and sentiment are edged with blue glitter glue and enamel dots were added to the corners.

The insert was also printed from the CD.

Materials used:

• My Craft Studio CD, Alfie
• Printer Paper - digital smooth and copy paper
• Cardstock - Buff & Sky Blue 240gsm 
• Ribbon - blue/white gingham 
• Glitter glue - Stickles Baby Blue
• Enamel dots - Docrafts Denim Blue

I think this card will be perfect for my little great-grandson's birthday next month ... he'll love the puppy :)

There's going to be more cards made from long forgotten stash - I have quite a pile to work my way through.

The Boss is telling me I should get to bed now, and she knows what's good for me so I better do as I'm told :)

I wish you all a very happy Sunday.

Friday Smiles

Happy Friday Everyone,

I sincerely hope this is going to be a very good day for you all ... and if not, tomorrow's the weekend! 

I haven't got any personal photographs today ... I've had a cold so not been out and nowhere near people for fear of spreading germs so here's a couple of photos seen online that tickled me instead.

Yep! The Boss looks at me just like this when we've been out too ... proof, if proof were needed, that we are missed.

And this one is there because I started the week raring to go then a few bugs reduced me to apathy!!!

Have a great weekend everyone,

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday - Week 331

Good Morning Everyone,

There's a lot of sneezing and coughing going on in the Worthington household at the moment but I'm determined to join in with WOYWW today, no matter what! I can't believe that, apart from turning up late last week, I haven't participated for five weeks ... shocking!!! So without further delay, here's my desk this week:

Yep ... it didn't stay clear for long! True the stuff along the back remains as it was last week after the grand tidy up, as is the tin of tools centre right, but there's been quite a lot more added to the working area. I can't seem to help myself because there's two WIPs out at the same time. Most obviously a partially completed set of cards, WIP #1, using print outs of photos taken of the Monday's vase - so pretty I couldn't resist using them as card toppers. That's a box of ready-made punched paper trims ... unearthed during the stash unpack ... next to the bottle of PVA glue. The patterned paper and the ribbon holders are part of  WIP #2 - this ribbon storage:

I plan to decorate it with the pretty patterned paper once the adhesive has set - after I've worked out the best way to go about it.

A closer shot of the cards. The punched trims were bought way back in the days when I first started to make cards and before I discovered border punches. Long past time they were used up!

Right, off to blow my nose, yet again, dose myself up with cold/flu remedy and drink a soothing cup of soup, then I'll be back to do some desk hopping - can't wait to see what your desks look like this week. In the meantime, I wish you a very good week.

Happy WOYWW,
