New Beginnings in The Male Room

By
Golly it's cold this morning in my little cottage. The garden is looking very bleak and the wind is making the trees sound very spooky indeed - I can't wait for Spring!
Meanwhile we have a new challenge this morning in The Male Room - the theme for the next two weeks is - NEW BEGINNINGS.
I didn't make a card this time but another desk calendar -take a look


I cannot take credit for this as I followed the video tutorial over on Paula's blog HERE -it's a lovely clear tutorial and very easy to make so do have a go!

I have used Soft Suede and Early Espresso card stock for this with a little Very Vanilla too and the image is from the Traveler set. The base has also been stamped with the World Map stamp - it's huge and perfect for manly backgrounds such as this.

Don't forget that this is a very special time at Stampin' Up - if you want FREE goodies take a look at my post HERE and drop me an email to place your orders.

    I think your vintage desk calendar is a perfect take on our challenge. I do like that image and the colours are perfect!

    I have to tell you that it's very, very cold over here in Northville - at the time of writing this message it's -14C (that's 7F for my American friends). I still convert to centigrade all the time!!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.
