WOYWW

Wow Julia is almost there at one year of showing off your workdesk cause once you start you just have to look at all that stash out there and the amount of desks to look at you can take the whole day there seems to be more and more every week and I finally posted mine YAHH!! on time too wow!!

So here's my little Desk I just created a new Digi for Limited Runs and always like to color them in to test and see how they look Plus I can always find little changes or glitches I've missed while creating them on the computer Somehow it changes once you start coloring an image you find a line that just doesn't belong. So Guess what I've Called this Digi and you can win it before it goes into the store !!! Fill in the Blanks ______ ______ Cupcake. I'm working on some more cupcakes and also some different ones too. Up on top are some hand made organza flowers I finished awhile ago and boy they take a while to make each one

Thanks for visiting

WOWWD

My Desk is a little busy at the moment I've been drawing/coloring alot and here are some new stamps that I won on the Whimsy Stamps Blog Hop a little while ago it just arrived in the post Yesterday and I spent quite a while trimming them down and they came on E-Z mount .. Gonna have to get some more of that for the rest of my stamps that are unmounted ... LOVE it. Crissy made some beautiful Carousel Horses (to store)as you can see I already had to stamp out a sheet before I trimmed it just to look at it up close. Fantastic details. Also some Prima flowers now what to do with them lol, and My MS bloody goo punch which will work for drippy snowy cards too
