Ok my desk this morning is full of printed off sheets, ready for cards I want to make for March Birthdays.
Those of you who have been visiting the last few weeks will notice there are things missing on my desk - my button jars. Well look where they are now....
Yes finally I have had some shelves put up on the wall right next to my desk! And those eagle eyed of you will notice there is another jar of yellow buttons now. The collection is growing!
Anyway last week you all saw the starting of my Dad's card. My first idea of the acetate overlay didn't work out and do you know, I'm pleased because the final card is so much better.
Here it is for those of you who didn't see my post which featured it.
I'm looking forward to visiting you all over the next few days, I managed to visit all of you and left comments on a majority of your posts last week. So thanks for sharing, I'm loving seeing your desks and your work. Thanks to Julia over at The Stamping Ground for hosting our collective creative spaces!
Take care Zo x

Happy Birthday to your Dad. I'm glad he loved his card, it really is a stunner. You have inspired me to do something with this stamp for my best friends birthday at the weekend. She goes the the Lakes every weekend, they have a static caravan and just loves it so this will be perfect.
I can't believe you are onto March Birthdays already, you are so organised.
Happy WOYWW

Your workspace is great. I like how you've organized your buttons.
thnak you for visiting me yesterday, I think you have every right to be proud of your Dad's card, it is lovely, and my Goodness, what did you do before those shelves? - now you need cupboards, and more tables and another room and....ha ha

Beautiful, beautiful card that you made for your dad. I just love the black, white, grays with a splash of color. I really like your little shelves for those special stashes. Cute jars for your buttons.
Good to hear your button collection become bigger and... you have some jars to put them in. Your card for your dad is amazing. Perfect colour in combination with the grey tones. Well done. Have a happy and crafty week. Bye, Franka
Zoe I hope your dad had a great 60th. Your desk space looks beautifully tidy and organised. Great card too. Thanks for sharing, crafty hugs,
Erika.
Lovely card and button jars (much nicer than my tupperware box hidden in the cupboard!)
Your new shelves are great. Anything that gets the supplies up off the work surface is loved by me! It also showcases your button jars!
Your Dad's card is great. The addition of the red is just stunning.
I think the printed off sheets are so interesting. Where do you get them...do you have to use special ink?
Wow! The card turned out great! Looks like there will be some lovely creations for those March birthdays! very handy shelves too! x
Hi there Zo, do love your work - great job! TFS and happy WOYWW! Shaz in oz.x thanks for popping over too.
The sheets are from the MCS Jewel Britannia CD ROM, I don't use any special inks just what's in my Canon printer. xx
I can see why your dad loved his card! It is gorgeous! And I like the papers you have printed off as well! Especially the Union Jack one! It has a great grunge-look to it! Did it print out like that or have you done that yourself after printing? I will have to check back to see what you make with it!
