This is how my desk looks today. I was asked to sell some of my cards and tags at the upcoming Bizarre Bazaar at The Art Garden, a local community art center where I take mixed media classes. I was so relieved to find that I had lots left over from last year. The tags are in the basket, and next to the basket is a fork. Are you wondering why I have a fork on my work area? It's because I found a video demonstration on how to tie a bow by using a fork to hold the ribbon in place as it's being formed into a bow. The bows came out great. There are also some cards I've been designing for an upcoming card class that I'm teaching, and at the very top is a card that I am linking up to Less is More's One Layer Challenge with the theme "Houses", and the Paper Players Color Challenge #121 using Old Olive, More Mustard and Bravo Burgundy. Here's a close up.

First of all, your work desk is SO tidy! Yikes, I need to go clean mine after seeing your photo. Second, I love your card! You really used the challenge colors beautifully and I like the clean design. Thank you so much for joining us this week at the Paper Players! :)
ReplyDeletegreat card and tags that you have a very neat and tidy desk! I did wonder why the serving fork was there but figured it out when I saw the bows. I will have to try that cause I tried a regular fork and it didn't work! Have a great week and thanks for sharing. Vickie #62
