WOYWW 305: What’s On My Work Desk This Week?
This week, wherever you go – make it your mission to Scatter Sunshine in the lives of everyone you meet!
Scatter Sunshine is a wonderful metaphor for life – and the theme of this week’s challenge card!
Once again I am playing with my scraps.
I began by layering a strip of Scotch Decorative tape across the base. I love this product and have incorporated it into several cards to date!
Then I began digging through the scraps to see what I could find. So many treasures! I made cascading tags out of pretty textured cardstock and pretty challenge-inspired patterned paper (manufacturer unknown).
I stamped Scatter Sunshine (Sentiment from Close To My Heart Stamps) on Kraft Cardstock and used it as the backdrop for the cascading tags.
I wove sheer layered ribbons between the cardstock and the tag – topped the tag with textured ribbon and a punched piece of textured green cardstock – then sprinkled my card with hand-crafted flowers infused with bling since April showers bring May flowers!
The soft feminine colors are perfect for Spring and for that special lady in your life!
Not it’s time to share your creations with us! Whether you’re showing off your desk or your latest creation – be sure to share it with our creative community at one of our weekly parties!
Have an inspiring week!
What are the Crafty Cats Up To This Week?
We’re having tons of fun at this week’s Wordless Wednesday party. I’ve written a poem about my Space-Invading Cats – I’m getting ready for Tsunami’s 8th Birthday (my how the time flies!) – and I’m hosting a cat-themed giveaway!
Be sure to stop by and join the fun – and while you’re there, be sure to share a favorite photo with us!

Hope you are enjoying your school break! New Zealand in the spring – wow!
Thanks for the complement and your visit today!
Beautiful card. Thanks for joining us at Card Mania Challenges. Good luck and hope you’ll join us again.
A lovely card! I like all the detail you shared making this pretty treasure. I often see lots of mixed media journals and I would love to make one but when I look over the you tube videos and try to make sense of it all, I just get so frustrated! I also have lots of book marks and card supplies and I am going to try to create with ideas you have given me. HPS and enjoy a fabulous weekend.

Hi Anne,
Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you like my card and find the sharing of my creative process helpful. When I first started crafting, I also felt the way you do now – frustrated because I wanted to make beautiful creations like the ones I saw in the magazines, but not quite sure how to get there. The best advice I can give you is to pull out your supplies and play. As you’ll find from reading my post, I am usually inspired by different things – sometimes an idea or a concept, sometimes a challenge, sometimes a supply, sometimes simply the scraps I’m playing with – and I usually just build upon that.
If you ever have any questions – feel free to ask, I’ll be glad to help. Have a lovely week! 🙂
Thank you for joining us at Your Scrapbook Place challenges this month. I love your motto, it fits perfectly with my life style!!
