This will probably be a long post so if you don't have a lot of time you might just want a quick look at the pictures, a comment (please I love reading them) and off to the next blog.
It's been a busy week on my desk as you will see I've made several Christmas cards, from a kit I was lucky enough to get from the QVC outlet shop for a fraction of the price on the telly. I really like them because they are a bit different so now when I finish the rest of them I will have my family and special friends cards all done and it's only July. I'm giving the choir card underneath this bit to my friend as she saw it today and really liked it so that's one done.
This fairy card is for my Mum's friend I just need to find a nice verse for the inside and that's another job jobbed. The image is from Digi Sparkle coloured with my pro markers and decorated with little gems, I cheated with the background and used a printed one.
This is the underneath part of my desk which my very clever hubby made for me to put things on to dry or to keep things safe from the general shambles that is my working area, it just rolls in and out like a keyboard shelf on a computer desk, very handy for stashing things. I've coloured the images I had ready from last week and cut them out ready to be made into some of the birthday cards I've agreed to make. I showed my friend today and she was very happy with them so that's a good start. I'm just waiting on my new punches to arrive so I can make up the cards.
These pictures are the debris and works in progress of the rest of the kit I really do take up as much space as I can fill when crafting which drives hubby to distraction but I always tell him I have to give him something to moan about.
This last picture is a card using the latest image from Designed to Delight I really like the image and felt it was just right for a Thank you card.
I am entering the choir card in the following challenges:
Winter Wonderland

The Santa card above I'm entering in Cards 4 Men and the thank you card I am entering in
Designed 2 Delight and Double Delight.

Christmas in July seems to be a theme in blogland at the moment! (I'm only jealous that I've only got about 5 cards done so far this year!) I'm liking the fairy card - and I don't think printing a background is cheating!
Thanks for sharing your work desk - I love seeing other people's work spaces, it always makes me feel better about my own! Lol! Thanks, Hev:)

You are a busy girl. Just love your card. How fun, Christmas in July! Wonderful layout. Cute image. Thanks for joining us at Donna's Den of Crafts. Good luck on the challenge.
Good grief - your family cards already sorted - even with a bargain kit from anywhere I'd have jsut filed it for later, am so impressed thatyou got on and used it! Love that even with extra hubby-made space (fab idea, too) that you use your cuttlebug bed as an extra surface. Me too!
What an organised crafter you are. Christmas cards in July!

Lovely card. Thanks for joining us at Double Delight.
wooooo love your christmas cards and you space (HUG) Liz
Thanks for the peek at your desk. Don't know whether I admire you for being so organised or whether I'm scared rigid to think of the "C" word this early... Eeek!
Very PRETTY! Love your light yellow card and the dry embossing folder is perfect! Great job sponging inside the Nestie too! Thanks so much for joining us at Double Delight this week! *Ü*
