WOYWW - Something crafty at last!

Good morning people! Things are slowly but surely getting back to normal in my house. I hope you all had a fantastic festive season and a wonderful New Years. May this coming year have a lot of happy news for all the WOYWWers. My craftroom is still a hot mess and acts as a store room for DD's furniture. I just could not wait to start working after my holiday, so as you can see. no actual desk for me, rather the top of and upturned couch, the top of a microwave and every other flat (or semi-flat ) surface I can find to work on

I have wanted to make a side step card for a long time and when I saw these fabulous new scenes from La La Land crafts I just had to use one. The Cupid Luca was so cute I could not resist him and I wanted to use both.

So sorry about the quality of the photo, I don't know what happened there. Papers are all Bazzil and the dp is from a freebie paperstack from a magazine. The images were all coloured with my beloved Copics (I was having withdrawel symptoms I used them so long ago LOL)



This cute little Tilda is one I could not resist when I went to visit Cariena at her shop in Jeffrey's Bay. She just jumped into my hand. Papers are from the new range from FabScraps. The trim is from my new monthly collection from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
I found this lace in my mom's old sewing box. It must be about 40 years old and it reminded me of this cute Tilda that I had in my stash, so she just had to come out and play.

Have a fantastic day and week everybody and don't forget to stop by Julia at http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com to see everybody else's work spaces. I am sure they will be a lot more tidy than mine!

  2. Your cards are beautiful Tertia. Love the Tilda in red and black, so beautiful. I've wanted to do one of the side step cards too. Hey, we gotta stamp wherever we find room so that is all that counts. I turned a small room into a stamp room but it is way too small so always a mess but can't help it.

  4. Such pretty cards and a side step card is new to me I will have to look that up. A flat surface is definitely a work surface.

  20. I really like your lace heart on the Tilda card. It matches that stamp to a "T"! Great work on the side step card. I might have to try one of those myself sometime.

  24. You are ahead of the game (or maybe I'm behind?) I should make just a few valentines for my niece and nephews. Tilda is adorable!!!

    I know what you mean about finding any flat surface! Sometimes I'm having to do the same thing.

    Happy New Year!

  27. Now that's a workspace with a difference and it shows that if we crafters are determined enough we'll craft anywhere :) Lovely cards and I do like your vintage trim - I can remember having dresses trimmed with that ... ahem ... shall we say, a few years ago :)) Wishing you all the best for 2012.
