What's on your Workdesk Wednesday? Episode 232

Well, here we are again, Wednesday has come round and shown it's face again... Time for another gathering of the desks at Auntie Julia's here for all the info and linky.

You'll be amazed that for the second week in a row, there is no new stash to show you - how good am I?!
Instead, my desk workspace on the floor shows some more Christmas cards that I made the other day and which haven't made it to the box yet. The one with the quartered poinsettia was sparked after I used the same idea for the Craft Barn Alpha challenge last weekend  and I did the same on a black card blank.

Obviously I won't be putting away the Christmas stamps I've been using lots this year, until I have finished with them for this year...

So that's it for me today, short and sweet for once, as Julia likes!  (but if you're around in the early afternoon  you may catch another post with the new DragonsDream Tag it On challenge...)

Really beautiful Christmas cards, I so love that stamp and not seen it before. I still giggle over the fact that you play on the floor.

Hi Helen, I think you are saving yourself (talking shopping here) for a big blowout around Christmas time. Or is it that you are too busy making all those gorgeous "C" cards? Whatever - it just means we get to feast our eyes on your beautiful work.
Hugs, neet 22 xx

Can't beat PB for Christmas can you? Or any other time for that matter! It's -6C here currently and it was colder when I got up this morning! Glad we got the winter tyres put on both cars last weekend and then cleaned the garage out a bit so my car is now inside. Makes a huge difference to my comfort level driving to work!

Cute as can be - I love the thru-a-window effect, it's one of my favourites. Great colours too, not the usual Christmasy ones :)

Happy WOYWW!

Your cards are gorgeous, I love that stamp. So wish I could use the darn things but no matter how I try there is always a big bit that doesn't come out. Painting cards from scratch takes forever and I often get my daughter to do stamped ones for me :)
Have a great week.

I love all the variations you are getting with that poinsettia stamp! I'm still on one card, maybe I'll remedy that this weekend :-)
