What's on my workdesk today .........

I made this using baking paper, lace, cardboard and a stamp
 for our friends wedding anniversary next month
Then another day I made some books
This is all because I got a mad creative splurge 
after finishing the VAT return.
Oh, and a long armed stapler from Amazon for £7.50

I'm giving this a go after 
I've had a look around some desks over at Mrs D's.

    1. I cut three hearts using pinking shears and layered them up trapping the lace, cardboard and string in between, then machine stitched round the edges

  6. Your final pic has a great statement - must pass that one onto one of my mates who is always deliberating on what to do and not doing ANYTHING. Lovely makes as usual. Have a good week - glad that tax things out of the way x Jackie 28

  9. I love your signs - especially like the bunny holding one. Lol. Good to have a treat after finishing the VAT returns. I'm thinking of 'rewarding' myself for doing our taxes (have to file them here in the states). I'm finished ours and two of the kids - only one more to go!

    Happy WOYWW

  12. The heart is delightful and I love the effect of the baking paper - what another ingenious idea you clever gal! I think the rabbit is so sweet and I love the printed messages - I don't know how I managed without a long arm stapler, they are soooooo useful!
    Hope you have a great week,

  13. Hi Lynn, you have been busy! It's a funny thing how clearing the hideous tax chores can really boost the creative spirit isn't it? I HATE TAX DEADLINES!!!!!!!

    Love that anniversary hanger - I really love anything mixed media like that. the textures are great, and they're such fun to put together too. Your books are fab - and your helpful bunny soooo cute!

    Thanks for your visit today. Have a happy and creative week. Hugs MMx #32

  17. How fab. Thrilled that you got the VAT done (snigger, it only takes about 3/4 hour, but oh, the pain) and then hey, a spurt of creativity to follow. That's very rewarding. And you're hugely prolific!!

  21. A great post and some fun makes. I've never thought about a long arm stapler but I know I'd certainly find it useful. I have a long arm heart punch - does that count. Have a lovely week. Barbxx
