WOYWW and a kitchen card........

Good heavens, the weeks seem to fly by - time for another scout around the crafting desks of the world already! If you Don't know what it's all about, go over to Julia Dunnits blog and see for yourselves, and join in if you have a blog.





So what's on my desk, a rather natty box which is filling up quickly with my new flexmarkers, I am loving these pens, some of the colours are so subtle and muted, easy to blend...yes, I am a fan and of course they work with my beloved promarkers as well. I already have one of these boxes for my PM's, they are from Tesco, aluminium CD cases, perfect for the job



Here is my card for the Daring Cardmakers challenge this week, set by Kathy, who is absorbed with all things culinary at the moment as she is having a new one fitted, so her dare was kitchenalia. I used the From My Kitchen Cricut cartridge, and cut the toaster at 4". I used quite retro colours for this. Come to think of it, toasters are pretty retro in design anyway, the basic shape doesn't seem to have changed much since they were invented (I googled it). Sleek futuristic kettles, coffee machines that make a skinny latte mochiata while whistling the national anthem, knife blocks that look like a sheet of glass - but the dear old toaster stays stubbornly loyal to it's roots


The sentiment inspired the whole card, it's one from an ancient set by Stampin Up......



Case half packed, Euros in my purse, all I need is a visit to the supermarket to get Mandy's order of prawn cocktail flavoured crisps (yes, honestly, apparently you can't get them in Australia) and getting excited (for those of you not in the know, I am off to the trade craft fair in Frankfurt on Friday)


Don't forget, you still have until the 5th February to join in with my challenge, click the link at the top to take you there, and if you have a little time, pop and see the entries, there are a whole lot of gorgeous cards there to inspire you


See you tomorrow.....

  29. My newest toaster has something different on it: a space to store some small plastic tongs that came with it. I love that feature! But you are right that toasters haven't changed much over the years. Thanks for sharing your desk and your pen storage. I keep metal dies in a similar box.

  39. Looks like you’ve been busy with the old Flexmarkers Enyfs and I love your storage box.
    I’m still struggling to find the right way to sore my ProMarkers. At the moment I have a wooden CD unit turned on its side (think I read somewhere they need to be stored flat) but every time I pull out the pens to use the rest fall out and go all over the place.

    Loved you comment about all those lo rolls and extra fiber on my blog. Lol!

    Happy Crafting!

  42. Thanks for stopping by my blog this week. You have a great collection of markers - I'm a little jealous. Cute card!

  43. great card, perfect sentiment, love it!
    I LOVE your marker storage solution. When it is closed do you stand it on it's long edge or leave it upright? I have stored all my markers upright, but read somewhere and seen a few people say they should be stored laying down so the ink doesn't pool at one end or the other, I've never had any problems but I have only bought cheap markers so far,until recently. I bought 5 copics and don't want to store them incorrectly, tooo much money for those suckers :)
