WOYWW can elegance come from this mess?

A very simple and elegant card made for one of the girls in our Birthday club. I have had this image coloured for the longest time and just knew that it was the right image for this card when the request came to make a card for her. Not too cutesie, use blue (her favourite colour) and flowers. The image is coloured with Copics. Ribbon is from my stash and the cardstock is all Bazzil, embossed with my Cuttlebug.
Did not want to jump straight to my desk, because if I hung my head in shame last week, then I am currently hiding under the table, whimpering every time somebody looks in! I am still blaming it all on the postman though - that man brought me three lots of goodies in the last week! I kid you not - THREE lots. My order from Sweetpea stamps, a gift of Bidmalara stamped images from a friend and the blog candy that I won on the Shoestring Scrapbooking blog.
Be honest now. Would you tidy up if you had very little time and all those fantastic new goodies to play with? I didn't think so. I think I might be forced to clean up soon though, because it is getting so bad I am having trouble finding my scissors (Don't say anything! I saw them on the photo! LOL)

This is the pile of papers that seems to have a life of their own and keeps growing. Some stamped and coloured images lurking there too.
Here is the other side of the work desk. This side was clean last week, but things are spilling out over there now too. That folder contains my stamped images that are waiting to be coloured. The beautiful box is filled with the layouts I made at Convention. The newspaper? I don't know, but I am sure there is a good reason for it being there. The Asthma pump? You would also need one if you had to work here.
I am going to try to visit more of you this week. We are having a long weekend here in South Africa this weekend- Friday is National Braai(barbeque) day or Heritage day, so I am planning to have a massive tidy up in my scraproom then. Lets hope I can show you my desk with pride next week.
Have a great Wednesday everybody, see you soon. Hop on over to Julie at ( http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com ) to visit everybody else's desks.

  3. Love your card, very classy!

    Lots of goodies on your desk - if you're anything like me, if I tidy things away I forget where I've put them (well, that's my excuse anyway!)

    Hope you enjoy your long weekend.

  15. Tertia, your desk is not as untidy as mine and indeed, it's a great deal more interesting! We are both showing off working with the same striped paper tho - what a coincidence!

  16. First, I hope you had a great National Braai day that was filled with fun and good barbeque. Second, I love that card. Third, I am such a tidy crafter, the first thing I do when I get something new is I find a home for it. Yep, I'm the odd ball in the group. Fourth, sorry I'm so very late this week, especially since I'm #2.
