Graphic 45 Desk Tidy

I have seen these very CUTE Desk Tidy things on so many blogs lately.. There is a tutorial on how to make one on Whiff Of Joy blog, click here.

So.. I got an idea and ran with it ;-) I wanted mine to hold regular A2 size cards and envelopes.. I created my own template and used absolutely GORGEOUS Graphic 45 paper from the newly released La Romance collection. This desk tidy will hold quite a few cards, and the pocket on the back is just perfect for envelopes, postage stamps, a pen, etc..

This will be my Make-and-Take project at Cranberry Hill Mercantile in Sunnyvale, CA. We will make a desk tidy and four cards during this Make-and-Take.. It is scheduled for:

Thursday, February 25th, 11 am to 7 pm
Saturday, March 20th, 11 am to 5 pm

Please bring scissors, your favorite adhesive and pop-up dots. All other supplies will be provided.

$25, 20 participants max

Sign up is not required, but is highly recommended. Supplies are limited!! Please call Cranberry Hill Mercantile at 408-736-9151 to sign up.

As you can see, I took A LOT of photos of this project.. but still.. it looks SO MUCH BETTER in person!!! I am VERY HAPPY with the way this one has turned out!!!











I went for a collage kind of look using Tags and paper from the same Graphic 45 collection.. Can you believe it there is not stamping on this project at all!! Other supplies used: EK Success Flower punches, EK Success corner punch, Marvy Urchida scalloped cirlce punch, Spellbinders Fancy Tags, Mark Richards pearls.

Happy Birthday from Porsha

This week Jane is a challenge host at La-La Land Crafts blog. Jane has challenged us to use RED on our cards/projects.

"This week, I want to see what you do with RED. Pull out the red cardstock, red ribbon, red brads, red bling... I want to see RED! Of course it's fine to add other colors but red should be the main color."

OK.. I know red is one of my favorite colors in card making and I was very excited about this challenge.. as I was looking through my supplies last night, I was really amazed that I have a lot of red cardstock but not that much of the red designer paper.. more of burgundy really, but not much of red.. I have found this paper though, red with white polka dots!!! How FUN!!! I do not say it about a lot of my cards, but I absolutely LOVE how this card has turned out!!!!

I picked Porsha again for my card, she is one of my favorite Lala Land Crafts images at this time!! I just LOVE "dressing her up" by giving her different papep pieced dresses, just see my other card with Porsha here.

I have this layout in my head and to make it work, guess what? I made a card other then 6" x 6" in size.. hahaha.. this card measures 6" x 5".




Bazzill Cardstock. Doodlebug Designs designer paper. Martha Steward border punch. EK Success flower punches. Marvy Urchida circle and scalloped circle punches. Cuttlebug corners die cuts. Mark Richards rhinestones. Porsha stamp from La-La Land Crafts - colored with Copics, dress paper pieced. Sentiment from Just A Note set by JustRite. Butterfly is from Martha Stewart Clear Butterfly Stamps set - stamped with red ink and cut out.
