Happy Wednesday, everyone! I so enjoy everyone's visits and try to reciprocate as much as possible, but can never seem to get around to as many as I'd wish! For the home base of WOYWW, the desk of Julia, and the list of participants to click on, go here. [Edited to add: For any blogspot blogs that don't have a separate "pop-up" page for comments, I am still unable to post comments. . . sorry.]
Here is my work table, photographed in the morning before heading off to my "real" work. The stamps in their containers do tend to live there on the left, unless I need more room and then I put them on the floor temporarily. I've got a layout in progress (more on that in a minute), and some stamps to put away on the right. You get just a glimpse of the card table in the corner that holds stickers, adhesive, etc.
I'm working on a no-photos layout here. I wish I had pictures of my husband and I attending a movie, but before I started scrapbooking, it wouldn't have occurred to me, most of the time, to take such a picture. So, I'm using our ticket stubs in lieu of a picture and took some appropriate stickers from a stationery set my sister gave me years ago. Not 100% sure about the black doily. The shape works, but I put too much gold on top of the black paint and now I'm not in love with it.
Here are a couple of cards I made recently. I had a different pink strip to go across the first one, but lavishly applied adhesive to the wrong side of it. Oh, well. The second one is inspired by an example by May Flaum -- I'm in her latest class at BPC -- anyone else taking it, too?
Oooh so much snow outside your window! I love your cards and your LO is going to look gorgeous when finished as its looking great :)

Your cards are lovely! I so admire those of us crafters that have a space that looks outside into the yard! My craft room is on the 2nd story and I look out into farmland.. but not from my working desk!

How nice to be crafting in front of the window like that. I like all the punches on the windowsill! I'm not much of a scrapbook person, but I love, love your cards. That first one is so delicate and the second one makes me feel like I'm in a garden.

That is snow outside your window, isn't it? I am SO envious! We've got to travel a long way here to see snow, with a very small window of opportunity during our winter. Happy WOYWW!

The view from your window always has my jealous!
Your cards look great...
I have the same problem with date night...no one to take the picture but us! We need a tripod, girl!
Then we would always have pictures to scrap!

What a lovely view from your window. I would never do any work if I had my table facing the window. Your cards are lovely but my favourite would be the one with the pink strip across. Thank you for visiting yesterday and leaving those lovely comments. xx Maggie #11

Every time I visit your desk, I am jealous of your window!
The card is great! I have a few "no photo" layouts too, sometimes I just get so caught up in the moment, I forget to take pictures!
Happy WOYWW (on Thursday!)
