WOYWW – Cupcakes, Glitter & Lace

Cupcakes Glitter & Lace Card

Happy WOYWW dear friends! Even though many parts of the country have recently been contending with snow, I am starting to mentally transition into Spring. I am back to the task of unpacking boxes… back to the task of clearing out stuff… back to the task of more fully transforming our house into a home.

During the in-betweens, I’ve been returning to this little bag of scraps I have sitting on my desk and challenging myself to create cards, tags, and whatever else comes to mind using whatever I find in that bag. I can add whatever I like to my creations, as long as I use something inside that bag.

This week, I chose a sweet sentiment that reads “so happy to have a friend like you” and a cute strip of stamped cupcake images and used them as the basis for a friendship card. I chose pretty pastels for the colors in anticipation of spring. The cupcakes are iced with tantalizing glitter. I selected a lovely lace that not only color coordinates with the card, but lets the pretty purple show through.

Picking Lace

I also remembered to snap a photo of my desk and project in progress! As you can see, I like to lay things out and experiment with the design before I commit to anything. I’m also super-picky when it comes to patterns – I like to line things up in just the right spot!

I had fun exploring the challenge sites this week and found several that were new to me!

Art Challenges

Now, what would my WOYWW be without a glimpse of a cat? This week, Mister Naughty Pants played quite the prank on me! You’ll have to go to Wordless Wednesday to read the full story – but here’s a tease!

He’s trying to convince you that he’s hasn’t been naughty at all with that gaze – but you’ve heard the tales – you should know better by now!

Have a fabulous week, dear friends – let’s get to desk hopping!

    Like the challenge you’ve set yourself and it seems to be effective because that’s a pretty card you’ve made. I’ve got that spring feeling too – the sunshine and blue skies we’ve had here has helped enormously. Good luck with the unpacking … a slow job but there’s a lot of pleasure to be had when you discover almost forgotten treasures within 🙂 Happy WOYWW. Elizabeth x #58

      What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday is the official name of the meme – it was started almost four years ago by Julia over at Stamping Ground.
      It’s a chance for people to show off their workspaces and/or what they’re working on each week.
      It’s a lot of fun, whether you actively participate or just hop around peeking at everyone’s desk! 🙂
