WOYWW 229 - "C" is coming...

Morning lovely deskers! Hope this Wednesday finds you well.. Ready for another WOYWW ? Julia has all the info here (like you need it!)

I have finally made a start on my Christmas cards - well I made a few when I had my week off the week before last, but got some more done at the weekend... here they are
 I've been doing batches of the same design (with little differences) so I can get a bit of a production line going...
and it wouldn't be my desk on the floor if there weren't new stash to share... got some of Tim's Movers and Shapers dies ...  they just arrived on Tuesday (time of writing) so I haven't played with them yet, though I have seen the results as some of my twitter friends cut me some recently. Hence the need to have my own sets.

Can't promise to visit you all, but leave me your desk number and I'll try to get to you soon!

    Helen, What lovely Christmas cards! Great idea to batch them.

    I keep seeing Tim's Movers and Shapers and not sure what else I need to have to go with them. Do you know if I need different mats than what comes with the big shot?

    Have fun with your new tools!


    Hugs - Robin #22

    Gorgeous cards Helen and I could really do with borrowing that Halloween die (still not started my October Tim Tag)! Looks like an interesting journal page on the making there too. have a good week. MMx #36

    I do like the raven and cat die - just got my Grand Calibur back from being repaired (2nd one I broke :)) so can look away from fat dies no matter how much I like them!

    Happy WOYWW!

    I love using my 25 and deer dies. Great batches of cards. I do that too, it makes life easier if you mass produce the same thing. #57

    As I arrived at your page I saw the picture of the dies and thought it was a couple of pages in your journal and was going to say how good they looked. Honestly, the two pages look great.
    Love how you have been so busy, I have yet to make a start on Christmas but am afraid it will be a die cutting one this year - no time for stamping - too busy. Thankfully have lots of diecuts I brought home from the shows where I have been dem'ing.
    Take care - Hugs, Neet 24 xx

    Ohh you are so good making so many Christmas cards already - I made my first one and I never do a production line so I am way behind schedule! Eh well what can I do??
    Lots of hugs,

    I quite like making things in a production line, somehow it seems quicker...all perschycological, I'm sure, lol!!
    Those dies look fun too, I bet you'll get a lot of use out of those...and it's good to see Crafting on the Floor again..hey, that's a good title...you could get a spot on Create and craft. The cameramen might have to alter their angles though!!

    Love the Christmas cards, I bought the Tim reindeer movers & shapers a while ago. If I get my act together, they may appear on my family cards this year. We can only hope. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #34 xx

    Aaargh, Christmas!! I am usualy MUCH more organised than I am this year, mainly because I got nothing done in my week off. If I don't start soon I shall have to buy them or not send any!!Love those dies!! Yes, am pretty fed up - well, I love my job but there are so many vacancies it's run around like a headless chicken time most days and all the procedures keep changing - I'm a bit too old for all this mucking about!! Spose it might make me get off my a*** and find something else. Thanks for the visit, Happy WOYWW Cindy #30

    Like Janet I too am in denial of 'C'!!!

    Love the new movers and shapers. I always wonder if you need the actual tray or if you can use the TM ATC die (as I think the hole in the middle is big enough for most)?
