Is it just me or do Wednesdays keep coming around faster by the week....... ? Today is the day we share our desks with fellow bloggers around the Globe...... if you want to join in then go over to see Julia at
http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk who will give you all the details.
On my desk this week is one of the reasons why I have not had much time to craft lately. I have been making wedding invitations for D2. Plain and simple, to her exact specifications. All done and dusted now, packaged up and ready to be collected, so here is my desk this dull and overcast morning.
Something else to show you is the rest of the ATCs I received in our wonderful swap.
Left to right (back) a wonderful ATC from Minxy, my swap partner. Right is a lovely collage one from Ria. At the front (left) is one from my lovely blog friend Darnell - this is all the more amazing because Darnell has never made ATCs before - this one is edged in piping and looks fabulous. Bottom right is from the lovely Toni, I love that globe and background. Amazing creations, I think you will agree. Lucky me!
Well Julia likes us to keep things short and sweet so that's all from me folks. I look forward to seeing your work spaces too today. Happy WOYWW, hugs, Anne xx
The wedding invites are super gorgeous, what a task, crafting but not crafting! Great ATCs there too. BJ#55

Your daughters invitations are very elegant Anne and I know how long they will have taken as I did some myself last year. You have the patience of a saint.

ReplyDeleteI love the wedding invitations - they are beautiful and very elegant. They must have taken you ages - I've made some in the past and they took so long they drove me crazy - I thought I'd be making them into my old age! Hope you have a great week and thanks for dropping by my desk.

Love those invitations you have done. Classy! Are they die cuts? So intricate - hope the die cut well, if they are, as visions of flicking all those bits out makes me shudder.
ReplyDeleteYou have some lovely atc's there - I have so enjoyed being a spectator on this atc swap as well as enjoying making some and, of course, receiving some.
Thanks for visiting me earlier, I went back to bed after making some cards - Hugs, Neet xx 16
Stunning ATC's and the invites look beautiful. I always think simple is best.

ReplyDeleteGosh, I love those invitations, so cool and elegant! That dove grey is really popular at the moment. I bought a baby clothes knitting book recently and all the boys stuff was in taupes and greys. It looked really smart!
ReplyDeleteLove the ATCs..the swapping has been great fun!
Hugs, LLJ 43 xxxx
May be plain and simple, but gorgeous and elegant as well! The invitations look amazing and now you will have more time! Nice ATC's to receive. Enjoy the day!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne

Simply Elegant Anne. Your daughter will love them. I love the pen pot that is behind them too! Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 78
ReplyDeleteAh Anne, your daughter's tast is sublime, the invitations are so lovely. Gorgeous colour. well done you - the making isn't without it's own stress is it, no matter how specific the bride!
ReplyDeleteWonderful invites Anne, your daughter picked well and you can never go wrong with Memory Box can you? I dabble in Christmas on and off all year to be honest! Bit sad really but it saves the stress later in the year! Lovely atc's from everyone, thanks for popping in.

Oh my stars, Annie, those wedding invitations look so elegant and amazing!! And, ahem, aren't there a HUGE number of them?? This is going to be a big wedding and I can't wait to hear and see more about it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all the wonderful ATCs you received and your sweet comment about mine. A correction though in that this year I made my second ATC. It was last year's ATC swap where I made my very first one. And literally, only one. I'm learning more every time we do one of these fun things and I can't believe it, but I'm already looking forward to the next one!
Happy WOYWW and happy WEEK. That stands for ... just kidding! xxoo Darnell #20
Wow - those wedding invites are stunning! I'm sure your daughter will be so proud to mail those to friends and family!

Happy WOYWW

The invitations look very elegant Anne - gorgeously designed. Hope this week is a better one for you and your hubby. Nicola x
ReplyDeleteI do like the look of those wedding invitations Anne but I bet you are pleased they are all done now. I made them for my DIL as well as the place cards, the menus and the thank-you cards! By the time I had finished, I never wanted to see a rosebud again LOL. Your ATC swaps are lovely too. Love, Margie
ReplyDeleteI know you must be horribly busy - what a great Mom you are. The invitations look very special!!
ReplyDeletesandy
Golly - wedding invitations... that's a task and a half, as I know from doing them for my brother and Laura - congratulations on getting finished! And lovely swap ATCs too...
ReplyDeleteAlison x
Loved your elegant wedding cards. As I'm sure your D2 will also. I always think simplicity done well, looks so regal & lush. Your DD knew exactly the right person to achieve this for her! GREAT JOB! Loved all your ATC's. Indeed, Lucky You. Leave to Darnell....she aces it every time, doesn't she? All four were super nice, and I know you will treasure these, and remember your good friends each time you look at these. TFS. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThe invitations look beautiful!! They will be loved for sure!! Lovely ATC's too!!
ReplyDeleteThe "specimen" bottles have everyone curious it seems! They are just small glass bottles that look great with nails and other stuff in them for steampunk projects!!
xxDaniella#8
I had to click on the invitations to get a better look. They are incredible.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, you got some more lovely ATCs. It's good to see so many styles, all with the same theme. And because it's still Wednesday in my part of the world, have a super WOYWW from #17.
Great creations-you should give us a better peek at the invitations too!!! There is a wedding challenge over at Inspiration Emporium for June.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, The invitations are not plain & simple, they are elegant and classy, I bet you are glad they are finished though! lots of work with so many but stunning end result. You have some great atc's on show, love the shaped one from Darnell, she is so clever I would never have thought of doing that. See you soon. Hugs Mo x
ReplyDeleteah Anne so agree on your invites your daughter should be thrilled as the are classy.. and well the atc's are really fab too so many differing styles like how Darnell's has the saying she puts on all her posts.. happy WOYWW Shaz in Oz.x #29

Love the look of those very elegant invitations Anne. Well done on getting them all completed. And such great ATCs too. Hugs, Jenny x
ReplyDeleteOh those ATCs are marvelous! And what a clean workspace you have! I'm still waiting on the craft clean up clapper to be invented, meanwhile I'm still performing the "shove everything to the side and work in 6in of space" method :)
