If you're not sure what this is all about, go to my link on the right and have a look. For curious bodies like myself, it's a great way of having a little look-see at other people's desks and what they're up to!
Mine, as usual, looks like a bomb has hit it! To be fair I'm assembling bits for a project for the Creative Studios Design Team. It's being posted on the Creative Studio blog tomorrow complete with "Step by Step" photos but I will also post a picture of the finished piece on here. For the step by step, please visit Sam Poole (the link is on the right).
A card that I did manage to finish was this one. I'm quite pleased with it as it's not my normal colour scheme (trying to get out of my comfort zone). The stamps are the "Wise Owl" set from Creative Studios and I've used Barn Door and Wild Honey Distress Inks. The background was make using the Falling Leaves A6 stamp again from Creative Studios.And finally, another photo from my travels. This time I thought I'd post one from Venice again. It has to be one of my favourite cities in the world. I wouldn't want to go there in "high season" though...it's also one of the busiest with tourists!
You can just see the Bridge of Sighs in the background. This was taken from the ship as we sailed in at 6.30 in the morning.
Hope you all have a happy crafting day and many thanks for dropping by and leaving all your comments.
P.S. Don't forget about the blog candy...as soon as I hit 300 followers I'll be making the draw.

Wow, that photo of Venice is gorgeous. I have never traveled outside the US, so that is a treat.
Looks like you are making an arch. Would love to see it finished, too.

Venice is definitely my favourite city. I have some Lynne Perrella stamps which remind me of Serenissima whenever I use them. I love your owl too - owls are in my top ten of birds! Thank you for stopping by my blog. I will work at improving my photographic skills so I can create a blog as lovely as yours maybe...one day! Meanwhile thank you for sharing and inspiring #58 Julie Ann
When your workspace looks, as if a bomb hit it, then it only shows, there is creative work going on. And the result is wonderful. Love that owl!
Something so special about the light in Venice. My daughter has just returned from her honeymoon there and her pics have that same aura about them x Jo
Such a pretty card you've created. I so blow it on step by step photos starting over would most likely be easier then me tearing it apart to retake lol
thanks for the visit Nikki #2

Wow! Love the sound of your job! I've never been on a cruise but I really want to someday, especially if I can still do some crafting while aboard! :) Your desk doesn't look too bad at all, at least we can see some of it, unlike mine where not a square foot is peeking through! :) Thanks for stopping and leaving me a comment. Deeyll #72

ps your blog is too wide on my computer screen to read easily. :-(
The owl card is beautiful - those colours are my favourites, and I enjoyed the photo of Venice - always wanted to go there but not managed it yet - perhaps one day!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, hope you have a great week.
Thanks for visiting my blog! Obviously I just LOVE the owl tag! :)
Venice looks stunning in your photo. I love your owl card and thanks for visiting. Thanks for sharing. Happy belated WOYWW. Caro x (#61)
What a fun little owl card. Love the little clock eyes!
I would love to see Venice some day. My dad was there about 1953-1954 and I have pictures of him there. Looks like it would be a lovely place to visit.

Your owl card is great! I wonder if he's all one stamp or if you "built" him with multiple, as I see his eyes are clocks and his beak is a scissors. Nice color combo, too. Happy WOYWW from Laura #154
The owl card is great. Love the stamp and since I am in a major yellow phase now, I am totally drawn to your colors. What a beautiful photo you ended your post with. A Bridge of Sighs. I think Venice might be getting REALLY close to the top of my I need to go there list. Thanks for helping with that!! Also for the visit - I seem to be running late this week. Enjoy!!
Hi! Bit late doing the rounds . . .but wishing you a belated Happy WOYWW. Love your finished piece for the DT.
Thanks for visiting me.

Having never travel far in my life-I loved looking at all your travel pics-the purple houses were so pretty!!! Great project too. Happy late WOYWW!
I love Venice - you would never believe how many times I have been there.
Love that owl you have done - great image and fab colours. Makes me feel all warm and sunny.
Sorry I am late, been away and since coming back am suffering with hay fever which has meant eyes almost closed.
Hugs, Neet xx
Nice work - and how fab to visit Venice. It's on my bucket list...
