Ok. Very quick post this week, I'm at work, this is on timer. Ready steady....go! It's Wednesday!! Charge over to the Stamping Ground, say hi to Julia, sign into Mr Linky and come and join in!!From last week, we have the continuing story of the glue tubes. Most People said, "Throw them away!!" well, I had it in my head (and so did Liverpool Lou) that I would do this.... with them. Run them thro' my BigShot...and made pretty patterns, making sure of course... that it's the empty tubes you run through! Well, it kept me busy (but not quiet) for a little while!
Camera's a bit sick, has no memory, so pictures are a bit icky (That's th
e word I meant!) The second photo shows some cards I'm in the middle of making. Lady wanted to buy some, so I took some round to her house and she said, "I like that one..." It was a plain card that had found it's way into my pile by mistake and had nothing except some Pink Petticoat papers on it. "I'll have four of those!" So that's what I'm doing! And that must be by shortest WOYWW Post, ever!! (Cheer/clap!)
Nearly reached 300 Followers, so will do an extra freebie digi when I do!! Thank you for stopping by!!!

Laughing at the woman picking the (almost) blank card. That'll be the quickest and easiest order ever!!
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for experimenting with the big shot - I only use my cuttlebug for nestabilities!
Lots of nice punches to the back of your picture - I love punches.
Julie :o)
I was already thinking I loved the diecuts and thought you'd used gold card hehe So glad you used the empty tubes - see, yah boo sucks to those who said chuck 'em! hahahaha The plain cards do look pretty though. And thanks heaps for the freebie, fishy is fab.
ReplyDeleteAnne xx
I like the idea of using the glue tubes, but it's something that I would get DH to do with my old red Sizzix. Keeps him happy and out of my hair!!!!
ReplyDeleteLuv Joanne xx
I was a bit confused (it doesnt take a lot!) but I take it that the metal bits are the glue tubes? they look brill - I dont use much glue in tubes anymore so I might have to get the paints out and see if I can have a play at that one day (love to play me!). Thanks for the comment on my blog about the box - I had fun making that and congrats on 300 followers. Have a great woyww.
ReplyDeleteHiya Lyn!
ReplyDeleteLove your workdesk always! Great job with those empty glue tubes! He he funny that with the Pink Petticoat paper! Lovely fishy! Thank you!!!

ReplyDeleteIsn't that always the way....you have a big box of pretty cards that takes you ages to make and someone comes along and pics the plainest quickest card in there!

ReplyDeletenice short post:)) rofl... nice and busy desk too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing
I just LOVE visiting desks like yours when you can make the picture bigger and have a good ole nosey about! Had to laugh about the card your customer preferred - takes all sorts dunnit?
ReplyDeleteLoving your desk Lyn and was wondering what those Martha stewart punches are like ? I have never bought any as they seemed expensive.
ReplyDeleteLove the fishy too ... thanks :)
hugs June xxxxx
Love the look of the desk, mine is only tidy as unlike your lucky self I've had no time to play boo hoo! Hugs Pamx
ReplyDeleteThat's a fab idea to use the empty tubes of glue!
ReplyDeletex
Well I take it all back about throwing the tubes away as you have made them very pretty. Don't think I could be arsed with all that faffing, but you've done good!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely only having to bung some paper on a card and nothing else!! x
Love the free digi.
ReplyDeleteIngenious idea with the glue tubes. Must remember to try this one
Who would have guessed that those embossed bits came from glue tubes!! Not sure if I should congratulate or commiserate on the sales of your unfinished cards!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the approval thing, I keep it on as I like to read all comments and not let them go unnoticed as people leave comments on older posts.I love your desk space. Those embossed gold cards on your desk, and the santa coloured in picture, will see what you make with those. fab blog.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know you could run your empties through your Cuttlebug. Never tried it and never ever will either :)
ReplyDeleteLove that MSpunch collection. Tomorrow I'll hopefully own one more of these too
Thanks for the look at your desk and have a lovely day

ReplyDeleteThat "not much" looks like a whole lot of things going on to me! If they are glue tubes, we'll all want some as they look fab. Great desk with plenty to spy on, Thanks for sharing,
ReplyDeleteJoZarty

ReplyDeleteLovely peek today. Congrats on the patience to wait it out and think of something to do with your glue tubes. Patience - I am short on that a lot of the time.

ReplyDeleteGreat use of the glue tubes...I'd have to get some alcohol inks on them now too but then I just have to make as much mess as possible!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW...Esther xx

ReplyDeleteHugs Linda
thanks for sharing your crafty space today and love your busy desk...hugs kath xxx
ReplyDeleteHey Lyn
ReplyDeleteHow are you? hope you are well and sorry for not visiting in a while.
Soeey for being a bit thick - but those metal pieces on your desk - are they the empty glue tubes? I've probably totally missed the point!!!!
LOL at the lady chosing something that you'd merely put some papers on... no accounting for taste - and so much for your hard work on the other cards!!!
Hugs

Hiya, I looked at your blog and you're so inspiring that I'm now a follower too. Just like others I ready your quick post at great speed, it felt like the right thing to do! lol Thanks for the cute fish. I'd love to have a go at making my own digis, I'd need one of those tablet things first though I'm guessing. Maybe one day... Oooh I love pink petticoat, used some of their papers today, not on their own though!
ReplyDeletehello just been blog hopping and having a good nosey thanks for link you'll have to tell me how to return favour i'm still getting my head round blogging love the digi stamps and your creations
ReplyDeletesee you over the other side(forum)

My first time here and I already learned something! I knew I kept my red sizzix for a reason. I'm not sure how you get those tubes unstuck and flattened out as all my glues seem to be in bottles nowadays but they sure look great.I have paint tubes though :) NAn

At least, that's how it's going around here.

ReplyDeletei love reading your blog. You have great ideas. Thanks for the fish. Elaine
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness Lyn - I am nearly out of breath, reading so quickly through your "quickie" post! I need a lie down. That's a good idea actually - it's almost midnight - yikes! Anyway - to be serious for a moment - I love snooping around your desk - you have so much crafty stuff, and yet so much working space too - must be a heck of a long desk methinks! Love all the MS punches. Does that Superman book belong to John I wonder? Have a great weekend. Loadsa hugs, Sylvia xxxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun fish. Thank you.
