Hi there lovely ones, goodmorning! Wednesday, another week gone and it just flew by… I started visiting the other deskers last week but didn’t get far, sorry if you commented on my blogpost last week and I didn’t visit you back, I’ll try to make it up to you all this week!
So… what’s on my desk this morning? Take a look…
There’s the usual ‘junk’ (tools and materials) and a strip of folded paper which will turn into a tiny journal eventually. To the left is a ‘growing’ spread… there’s a 14-day challenge going on at the “Dutch collage” facebook group, posting a daily ‘task’ to put on the spread. Today’s ‘challenge’ is to add letters and/or numbers.
I’m all into ‘challenges’ lately – you saw me starting a scrapbook layout last week with the theme “Love” and here’s the finished piece.
I used gesso, a stencil, old dictionary paper, a bit of spray ink and my sewing machine. Here’s some details:
Title: “Samen” (together)
The page I used underneath the photo is from a Dutch-English dictionary
Today, a sketch was posted in the Scrapbooking group and I might create another layout as it was fun to work on this for a change – but I can also decide to dive into the tiny journals or collage-making and I should do some housekeeping too… but as long as I stay put at my desk and don’t walk through the aparment, the dust-clouds won’t wirl around so vacuuming can wait…
I hope your day is filled with creativeness too. Enjoy!
LOVE that spread! Everything about it – the colour, the lay-out, the stitching… just wonderful!
Love the wee concertina book 🙂
Happy WOYWW!

Hi the Marit, Wonderful tidy desk as always, you do work on it even if looks like it doesnt as like the piece made for your challenge with all your bits and bobs on it. Great desky share. Happy WOYWW.

What a fabulous LO you have there. Such a lovely photo too. I like all the space you have left, making the image the focal point with just the right amount of decoration around it. I really must try stitching on some card,be it an actual card, journal page or something else.
Interesting desk – the mini book is very long, lots of stamping?

That’s a really lovely LO Marit! I like the backgrounds the white stitching, the dictionary page and a new word for me. Samen….I’ve learned something new!

Hi Marit, I love that scrapbook page. So beautifully put together. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #15 X
Hi Marit, That’s a lovely scrap page, I always find I want to cram too many photos on to the page as I can never decide which ones to use, I should practice Less is more but that’s not me, ha,ha,
Enjoy your week

You’ve been busy! I must get back into challenges, gone a bit quiet here… loving the spread and the layout. Helen #1
Love the journal page and look forward to seeing the tiny journal develop. Have a great woyuww, Angela x13x
Hi Marit, That is a beautifully put together layout. Empty space is far more effective than covering every inch, which is what I tend to do. I will remember this for my next layouts. Have a lovely week Heather x #17
Oh my life, that is a tiny journal! How sweet and how nice it will be to work on. I love the scrapbook LO too, you sure have a way with design. And a beaUtiful photo of you three!
I love you “LOVE” spread! Watt a wonderful page! Your journal challenge sounds really fun! I love challenges too. Sorry I’m so late this week, have a great rest of your week, Lindart #25
