Happy Wednesday, all who venture here! I'm joining in the blog hop to meet all blog hops: WOYWW, hosted by Ms. Julia on her blog every week. You take a snap of your current desk/table, etc. in all its neat or messy glory, link it up, and then visit some other folks and be sociable.
Looks like a sunny day today and no fog for my drive to work. On the foreground on the desk this morning, I've got a layout almost complete, using the piece of cardstock I'd made as a by-product of my swatch making project last week. I decided to look for photos that would go with all the bright colors and found this one of my girlie having fun getting cooled off in the creek in the park. It's all done except for the journaling.
Here is a card I finished Monday -- clean and simple all the way. Apologies for the horrific lighting, but I wanted to get it ready for the mail, so didn't want to wait until morning.

Your layout is lovely and that card sweet and simple, less is more sometimes and this fits well. Lovely tidy desk and what a basket of lettering, cool.
Happy Crafting

Hi Laura! Popping back to answer your question about the backgrounds. The I make them is to not clean the template and flip it over onto a new piece of CS and add more spray ink. I keep going and going and get these really intricate color designs that I just love. I have a tutorial on my blog with photos here.

I like the layout, and it's fun how you incorporated an experiment into the page. I always leave the journaling for last, it's the hardest part for me. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Barb
