WOYWW - IV - Double sided tape mountain

Hello Crafters, Bloggers and those who have no clue how they ended up here... sometimes I wonder that myself!

Hard to believe that this is the last WOYWW for January... wow... !!

Without further ado... here is my lovely Workdesk  (as of late last night)...

Double sided sticky tape mountain
 On my Workdesk is my latest project... a gift for my friend's 40th birthday. Those with sharp eyes will notice two different colours of tape backing... I got through 1 1/2 rolls of tape for this project.. but I am super happy everything is now stuck in there. The gold pens are for captioning (a job for craft club tomorrow night).

In the background you may also see the paw print card... well another sneak of it. I will post the whole card next week once she has it.

You will also see a dragon card and a unicorn card... both made for friends.. hopefully they won't snoop here before they receive them..!!

Jasper came to visit me early on the process and tried to encourage me to tidy up by nicking bits... but as you saw in the first photo... he failed!!

Jasper encouraging me to tidy up.. and failing!
 I think I have mentioned him before... but here is my Craft Piggy and the proof that I am indeed down to only pennies... *sigh*... well I did make and post 2 commission cards last week.. but can't show them to you just yet...


Sad little Craft Piggy.... needs more monies!
 The good news is... the lady who I sent the Blue Kindness card to celebrated her 90th birthday on Saturday and had 30 extra cards to brighten her day. This also means that I can now share it with you. I hope it was worth the wait!
Blue Kindness Card
Well, that's it from me for today. I will try to get to all of your blogs but have to pack for my flight as I am out tomorrow night getting nails done and at craft club... then flying after work on Friday.  Please be patient with me... I will get to you all :)

Have a lovely week x

  1. Good morning. Fantastic mountain!! - love it! I have a similar one, but did actually try to shoot mine into the waste bin. Now, of course, I have to separate recycling from non-recycling in there! Oh bother. 'Spose I should really have 2 bins..
    I love the card you made and gave away. It's such a beautiful and generous idea. The lady did well - all those extra cards. When you get to that age you have outlived most of your friends. I know my dad hardly gets any cards now except the family ones.
    The book looks exciting.
    Have a great time away.
    Take care. God bless.

  2. Oh I love kitty helping you tidy up. Cats love little wiggly bits of paper don't they? I have ribbon pieces with knots on the ends for our Chloe. That was a lovely idea re the Birthday cards.Nice space you have.

  8. Lovely cards you made. The book looks lovely. I go through a lot of tape when making mini-albums. Have to make them stick well lol. Luckily I just found some fairly cheap as somewhere was clearing out old stock.

    Happy WOYWW

  13. Great cards! Looking forward to the cat print card! My Inky lives for those little pieces of paper - she finds one she likes, takes it to the stairs, throws it down and chases it. I'm always finding them on the stairs! Your Jasper looks like a nice cat too. The card you made for to 90 year old is lovely! Thanks for sharing! Lindart #48

  19. Happy Belated WOYWW. A great idea to have a Craft Piggy. I do have a piggy bank, and put all my small change in it. Keep meaning to empty it and take the contents to the bank. Perhaps I will use that money to buy some crafty stash! Ali x #29
