WOYWW #191

Hi, and thanks for passing by to see whats on my workdesk this Wednesday.   My desk is a little tidier than  how I usually work due to the fact that  my hubby  is off work sick after his knee operation last week  and he moans that I'm to messy. So I've been tiding up after each project rather than just leaving it to one side and only ending up with a 6" square to work in...........LOL Well what is on my desk, I finally finished the cards of that you saw on their last...

Patterned Occasions …………

Here's a card that I made for a challenge over at 2Sisters blog, the theme this week is using the colours - brown, white and blue.

I know that he doesn't go on my blog or use face book so I'm safe sharing it with you here before I give it to him later. Here I have used the plaster stamp and words from the Patterned Occasions stamp set which is available...
