Into the Pool! WOYWW #218; CCCB #171FM #121; STS#1

Yoohoo!

Nearing midpoint, we'll soon be whooshing up to Friday, reveling in the week end, hop off, round around to the front, hop on, and then do the whole ride all over again 52 times in the course of a year.  How fun is this?!

Here's my desk.  Yes, it's mine.  I didn't pay to borrow someone else's messy desk. 

It all started when I ordered a few things I did not needed in the way of stamps and dies and then out of the corner of my eye I saw one of those damm sale slash clearance racks that get me every time and I ordered a giant bag of  assorted sequints.  Then, being ridicmeticulous, I decided I would separate them into their respective nonassorted ... aacckk!  It's taking me forever, and since I don't chuck projects, I have to keep at it and since I wanted to make a card now and then, I just worked around the project ... you know how it is.  You also know I don't do messy, especially when I couldn't find my sandals a little while ago.  Not my shoe sandals, my little card sandals.  I'm ready for the backhoe ~ again.

 

Here's the card I made.  (Feel free to click off if you're just What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday (WOYWW) desk-hopping, but please do let me know you came by, so I can return the flavor of a visit back to you!) 

 

I love this stamp and sediment.  Since I stamped them directly onto my card base, I thought the sediment needed to be wrapped in an on-trend conversation bubble, so I drew one on by hand.  There is no NBUS (never-before-used schtuff) on my card, but I am playing in NTMC (new-to-me challenges)!

 

The first is a brand-new-to-everyone challenge called Seize the Sketch!  It's the sister challenge to "Seize the Birthday!" and it's another brain-child of the delightful and talented Lesley.  Here's the terrific in auger all sketch designed by the superbly talented Amy Tsuruta:   

The next NTMC is The Friday Mashup! challenge, where the theme is "polka dots."

As it happens, the City Crafter Challenge Blog ALSO has the theme "polka dots" this week!

 

How about that?!  This is my second time playing with the inspirational CCCB card artists.

 

I'm also reentering the "Summer" challenge at Addicted to CAS (ATCAS).  Sometimes the dials all line up beautifully!

As always, many of the challenges I enter have awesome sponsors and prizes, so I hope you will click on the links for the details, meet the fab Design Teams and Guest Designers, and join in these fun challenges!  The DT cards are always awe-mazing!

 

And I hope you will check out the addicting and delightful WOYWW, hosted by the humorous and delightful Julia!

I leave you with this smoochable face from the Grand Duke R. Dog.  He is doing us the flavor of watching us for a few days.

"I'm sorry I ate your sandal embellies.  Please forgive me.  Having said that,
may I add that if you weren't so messy, they wouldn't have been on the floor."

Enjoy your day!  No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS*! 

 

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment and/or join as a follower!
