A big welcome first to my latest followers, I am thrilled that you want to come along on my crafting journey, as I develop and learn new ways of creating - thank you! Thank you too, to all of you who have left me the most amazing comments on my Hallowe'en pieces recently, it means a huge amount to me.
It is that time of week again when we share our desks with the world of WOYWWers, through our wonderful Hostess, Julia who you can find HERE. If you want to join in then please pop over to see Julia who will explain all - but be warned, it is very addictive but it is also a place to make wonderful new friends too.
On my desk this week, more Christmas and Halloween as you can see here:
The Christmas card is awaiting a sentiment although I can't decide whether to put one on or leave it as it is. The die cut deer and the 25 are from Tim Holtz Movers and Shaker dies, I added antlers by using the Movers and Shakers branch die cut, cut down to size. The white backing is the shattered glass embossing folder and once embossed, I added some glitter. The dress form has been painted for the third time, awaiting inspiration. To the right is Robbie, my amazingly beautiful handmade bear from my wonderful blog friend Rita. Robbie watches me craft and then goes back to my display shelf each night........I know, but I love him and like to see him!
In front is another Hallowe'en skull, stamped and decoupaged, with scary eyes, backed onto black glitter card, waiting to be mounted onto a card base. I am loving that Tim Holtz stamp set so much, I am using it nearly every day! The skeleton on the black card at the front is from a Memory Box die and you can construct the skeleton any way you like as each part is separate. When standing straight he is about 5 inches tall (approx 13 cm). I quite like him in a dancing position.
Well that's it from me, hope you enjoyed your peek into my craft world and I look forward to visiting you too. Happy WOYWW, Crafty hugs, Anne x

Your desk is sooo tidy! you have inspired me to tidy up! My dress form wants to know if she can visit as she has been naked for months! The Christmas card looks wonderful, and the skeleton looks promising. Happy crafting. x
ReplyDeleteI like your tidy desk, mine is organised too, I just can't work in a midden! The Hallowe'en card is looking amazing, with decoupaged eye's ooooooooo ooooo in my scary voice. Your Chrsitmas card is looking lovely too, i like the glittery crackle going on behind the image. I love that Christmas tree stamp you've got there is the background, it looks gorgeous. Michelle x
ReplyDeleteMorning Anne,
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing what's on your desk. Love the Christmas card, and the skull looks fab.
The skeleton from MB looks like fun - haven't seen that one before.
Robbie is sooo cute, and so well behaved! Enjoy your day. xx
Oooooh Anne, lots to look at on your desk today and I just about love everything there esp that darling bear and the shattered glass embossing - haven't seen that one before. Also I would love one of those display easels - can't get anything like those sorts of things in Australia, gosh we're backward!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week.
Cheers from Elaine #19

You are busy at the moment with different things being created on your desk . All looks fun. I'll have to go hunting for the skeleton die he's great . Jill #51
ReplyDeleteGreat projects on the go at present Anne. Not much of a halloween fan myself but I love the skeleton and the fact you can move the parts about, would make a great mobile.

Hi Anne, I think the Christmas card looks great! All these Christmas cards I am seeing everywhere are making me feel a bit guilty, but I can't afford to be distracted yet again! Thanks for visiting and for your kind comment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Christmas card on your easel. We often leave the sentiments off for Christmas cards as sometimes once we've finished the design we find we've not left room for one!
ReplyDeleteThe bears @#105
Now just make sure you don't confuse the two themes! I can imagine the look on the faces of your family when they get skeleton Christmas cards!! Seriously, looks like mojo is keeping active which is brilliant. Happy WOYWW, huge crafty hugs as ever, Buttons #119
ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas card and love that skeleton
ReplyDeleteFamfa (12)
The Christmas card is gorgeous as it is, I don't think it needs a sentiment. The skull looks fab too. By the way, I bought some of the Abominable Snowman Glimmer Mist you mentioned - I agree with you - its brilliant, I am going to get some more! Thank you for the tip xx
ReplyDeleteLook at your cute bear. Bet he is good company.
ReplyDeleteLynn xx
I love your dancing skeleton, Anne. He's huge!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly multi tasking there with Christmas as well.
Happy WOYWW

I like the skeleton dancing too - wonder if he's doing the cha cha cha??? Yes, I'm a Strictly fan :D
ReplyDeleteThe friendship and camaraderie at the crop was wonderful but I din't have enough time to chat :(
Hugs, LLJ 56 xx
Wonderful bits n bobs there Anne. I love the reindeer/25 card and think it is perfect without a sentiment. It's very clever how you did the antler btw. :0) The dancing skeleton is great fun :0) xx
ReplyDeleteLots of fun projects going on in your space today! :)
ReplyDeleteMary Jo #115
That TH skull is awesome, I wish I had one! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas card looks good as it is! Still hoping to become more enthusiastic about Halloween - a week with my grandchildren might help! Chris109
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks so full of wonderful crafty goodness Anne. Your Christmas card looks beautiful as it is, but I know what you mean about a sentiment as well. Halloween goodness, can't wait to see how it comes together and your gorgeous bear watching you work, just love it all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your creative space. Happy WOYWW and have a great end to the week.

ReplyDeleteHi Anne, Your Christmas card is lovely. I just love embossing folders! They add that perfect texture to cards. The skeleton looks like he needs a dancing partner!!!

Happy WOYWW

I am intrigued with the Dress Form. What is it made of and what are your plans for it.
ReplyDeleteLove the Heavy Metal on the other post. Mine is still in the progressive stage. LOL
Carol x
Hi Carol, it is made from papier mache and at the moment I don't have a clue as to what to do with it! Anne x
DeleteLook at all the lovely comments! And your post today, my, my, you are just having TOO much fun! Awesome cards and works-in-progress, each one!! Your using the branch for the deer antlers is just brilliant! Scary eyes and dancing skeletons, fantastic, Annie!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by to visit me already! Darnell #35
Wow, your desk is very tidy! And you thought mine was?! Haha Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment...that new Sizzix embossing folder rocks, huh? When I saw it at Hobby Lobby I just had to have it for my Thanksgiving cards. Take care!
ReplyDelete~Deeyll
You look wonderfully busy and creative, Anne. I'm not into Halloween, but I love how you've made the antlers on the reindeer - that's really imaginative and "thinking outside the box"!! I like the little dress form and look forward to seeing what you come up with for that. Judy of Judy's Fabrications is a great fan of dress forms and has done some fabulous ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your lovely comment - nice to be missed lol! I am feeling better now, but the situation here continues to be very difficult, and it's touch and go whether a) I feel creative and b) whether there's anything interesting enough on my desk to share on a regular basis at the moment! I'll do my best, though.
Glad you like what I started in my gorgeous little book - I've just uploaded a post about the completed art journal page which has come out better than I could have hoped!
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #142
You have been so busy with your Halloween goodies - I love the tag on your latest post! x Jo
ReplyDeleteBrilliantly exciting stuff going on here - love your dancing skeleton (what a great die, that lets you play so freely with the bones), and the skull's looking dead spooky (sorry unintended pun)... So behind with visiting, but I'm getting there. Belated happy WOYWW!

Busy desk Anne... love that skull card... AmAzing work.. Didn't join again this week work is rather crazy at the moment!!! Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteWhat could be better than a dancing skeleton. You've gotten a lot of use out of that skull stamp. It is eerie! Great work. Barb
ReplyDeleteHi Anne thank you for popping by to visit me - the desk is still tidy but I have been doing the voiceovers so that could be why!!! I love the memory box skeleton - you are right dancing is great though I expect it took a long time to glue him all down! Your skull card is fab too - love the glowing orange eyes - I don't know about cute ted watching you I am pretty sure he is!!!! Be afraid ;-) Belated WOYWW Hugs from Helen 77
ReplyDeleteFabulous Anne that halloween scull looks amazing
