New desk tidy

Good morning all and welcome to the weekend. Hope you are all enjoying some nice weather wherever you are. We've had a couple of bad thunderstorms lately so I am hoping the weekend will be nice.

Today's post is a little project that I've had sat on my desk for a while now, and never got around to doing. So this week I made myself get it finished ;o)) 

It started with this holder from an empty hand wash and hand lotion set. I thought It might come in handy for something. 

Then I found these two empty pots fitted into the holes perfectly lol. 

So after a bit of sprucing up, this is what I have now. 

I covered the base and tubs with papers from the Docrafts Midnight Blush Capsule Collection.

I used Ranger Glue N Seal in Matte to stick everything down and to give it a seal.

Then I added some lace around the base. 

I decided to chop the small lip off the very top of the pots so that they sat better in the holder, so I covered the rims with some more lace. 

Now it is sat on my desk holding all my little tools and pens etc. 

Hope you like it, take care.

See you soon.

The last one.....

 

 

Jen is recovering from her sickness but now I'm feeling distinctly icky.  Hope I'm not coming down with it next!!

I promise this is the last of Jen's birthday cards!  I'm going to have to make something else this week lol.

This card actually started life quite differently.  In the summer I made a batch of cards for my granddaughter.  This one didn't get used so I recycled it.

I started by removing the sentiment which was on foam pads.  This left a mark which had to be covered and so dictated where the flowers were placed.  These are big blooms from Docrafts Vintage Notes collection layered with smaller paper and ribbon flowers.

We have quite a bit of lace in our stash so I found some that matched quite nicely and used it to frame the card.

I finished it off with a tag sentiment hung from one of the pearls. 

Hope you like it.  TTFN Jude xx
