About Me

My photo
Hi, I'm Pam and thank you for visiting my blog. I have been making cards for over 10 years and am an independent demonstrator for Creative Expressions. I am lucky enough to teach on cruise ships and also get the chance to demo at The Big Stamping and Scrapbooking Show at Alexander Palace. I run workshops for a local craft shop and if anyone would like details of the them please e-mail me at stephen.smith870@ntlworld.com I love to scrapbook but my all time favourite thing is to get messy with ink!

WOYWW

Well, here we are again, another Wednesday has rolled around and it's time to have a snoop at desks around the world!

I've taken a photo of another part of my desk.  It's where I keep the samples that are waiting to be blogged for the DT's.


You can make out my trusty Grand Calibur in the background and the purple bucket has the Creative Studios stamp sets.  The bag made from the zig zag paper is my DT piece for this week at Creative Studios.



And here's a close up of it!  I've put the full step by step instructions on the Creative Studios Design Team blog.  To get there, just click on Sam Poole on the right of the page and head for the blog section.  All the measurements are there as well.

Thank you to everyone who left comments last week about Dr Gonzo (the kitten!).  I'm trying to get a photo of him to put on here.  He's doing very well and had a night away from home with his other "grandparents" who spoiled him rotten!

Have you been over to the "Particraft" blog yet?  Sue Wilson has done some amazing video tutorials on there (about 30 minutes long).  Well worth a visit.  Also, try the Creative Expressions website, there are some great step by step projects on there.  Go to the news and workshop sections and you'll find them there.

Well, that's about it for today.  Many thanks for visiting and I promise to try and get round to as many desks as possible.  Last week was a bit of a disaster on that front!  Just another 12 followers needed for the blog candy draw!
Until next week, have a happy, crafty time!

What a busy desk - no surprise with you, Pam! I love the look of all the samples! So glad that Gonzo is doing well. It sounds like he has well deserved pampering from all his adoring extended family - and he's a WOYWW celeb too! Julie Ann xx #43

Before I forget - the pasta machine problem - best to be on the end of a table so that clamps can be put on to two opposite (diagonal) corners. That way it shouldn't move about.
Glad your little Gonzo is doing well and visiting family too. Good for him.
Lovely workdesk and delightful bag.
Thanks for all the links - now to find "time" but again he has gone awol.
Hugs, Neet xx

Lovely projects that are on the table, I love the bright colors. I see handwritten notes there - those are notes about how you made it?

~Hi Pam

Thanks for stopping by.

The view from my window is of the New Forest and the Avon Valley Water Meadows south of Salisbury. Really nice, but a bit noisy as we're right by the A338.

Hope you have a good week!
