Hello Creative Friends,
It's midweek meet up time again.. yup it came around that fast!
Another Wednesday where we share What's on (y)our Workdesks..
I'm sure it's WoywW #528??
Well my creative workspace is virtually untouched.
Shoshi wondered what the wooden block tied with string
was all about on last weeks desk, well this week it's multiplied.
I came across an ice-cream tub full of them during my clear out,
I made these must be 15 or more years ago for a pre-school group
using spindle spacers and string. Mark making tools for little hands
they are well loved as was the glitter that's stuck to them solid.
I must give them a soak and see if they still work..
Something else to add to my weekend To-do list ..
I've had a fabulous week, full of family time starting with Lunch out
last Wednesday with Mom. Family get together's over the weekend
followed by my sweet Daughter's 21st Birthday yesterday...😊
Here's the card I made for her
Sadly this photograph was taken on a very dreary day so here's a
close up. Love that rainbow of colour given from the D'OX's.
I'm sharing this with the ladies over at Try it on Tuesday
and joining in with their ~ Colours of the Rainbow Challenge.
I can also share this with you today..
Another make for my Daughter's Birthday.
A Gift card created using my latest favourite stamp
distressed wallpaper by Andy Skinner, how lovely is that print..!
The gift card is held closed with organza ribbon and a pin stamped
with 21 embellished with a single wrapped opaque red ruby.
Inside the gift card holds a handmade keyring. A bronze wire wrapped cabochon
bearing her star sign Cancer decorated with an elaborate ruby birthstone tassel.
I'm pleased to say my little precious loved it..
I'm sharing today with A Vintage Journey ~ Precious Metal Challenge.
I've some errands to run today so scheduling this post early.
After all the fine food and cake this past week I'm in need of the exercise.
Look forward to catching up with you all.
Take care everyone
Creative Hugs

Your daughter's card is gorgeous, as is the wonderful gift card (yes, the AS stamp is beautiful indeed). The charm is an absolute delight with her birthstone emblem and the fabulous tassel, a gift to be treasured for sure. Special memories for a very special birthday. Hugs, Anne xxx
What a fabulous time you've had! Congrats to your gal, her card and gift tag were gorgeous. I've been away with brothers, nieces and great niece/nephew too, lovely to catch up!

Beautiful, Tracey. I love the rainbow effects from Oxides and this captures them perfectly, with the wonderful tulip, so beautifully coloured, to top it off. Love it. Your birthday gift is gorgeous. I'm glad your daughter loves it. How soon they grow up...you really do wonder where the years have gone, don't you? Fab work and a lovely post, filled with family love and smiles.

Ooh what lovely makes for your daughter's special birthday - I love the gorgeous effects of the Oxides and I just adore the AS stamp - I have recently treated myself to it but not used it yet - you've got me itching to get stamping now! So lovely to spend special time with family, enjoy the rest of the week,
Hugs, Diana x #18
Lovely card and gift card, The center with the flower really pops out, love it.

I'm sure the mark-making tools would still work - no need to clean them. Any residue over the years will just give them more character! That is such a dreamy birthday card - truly unique! The gift card is lovely too with 21 on the pin - Happy birthday to your daughter - oh, to be 21! zsuzsa #23
Gorgeous! The cards are amazing and that keyring is amazing. Happy birthday to your daughter! Dorlene #29
Gorgeous projects. Loving the card, some of my favourite stamps and the keyring is a great gift. I would try using the mark making tools without cleaning them at least first. You never know what might come off them, could be something you never imagined. Wishing you a lovely creative week and a happy woyww, Angela x13x
No wonder your little precious loved her unique and thoughtful gift and gift card.....Clearly made with so much love x Her card is stunning and so very artsy and I love it x. So glad you've had a lovely time this week with family, which is so precious x.
Hi Tracey, fabulous card and gift, truly beautiful. So much love gone into them, plain to see. Eyes have cleared enough to be able to type now,lol. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #16 X
Wonderful work desk and I love the stamped cards you made for your daughter's 21st birthday. And that tassel is gorgeous.
HI Tracey, the colors on your dd card are just fabulous :) and the string tied blocks made me smile too. ~Stacy #30
I don't doubt your daughter loved her gifts. A beautiful keyring Tracey and the card is spectacular. Hope you get the mark making tools in working order again, they have obviously been well used. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
Hello Tracey - there's nothing more special than a handmade card and gift card is there - love the stamps you used.
hope your daughter had a lovely birthday.

What a lot of pleasure you must have got from making that beautiful card for your daughter. I love it! Rainbows mean such a lot and have so many meanings that they are special as is a 21st birthday - so very appropriate. Love the card and the keyring inside. I can just imagine the joy your daughter had on opening her card and gift card. Something she will treasure for always to remind her of her family.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

Hi Tracey, beautiful card and gift for your daughter - I'm not surprised she loved them. Have a lovely week, hugs Heather xx #11
I stopped finding treasures from my teaching days after we moved house, having had a massive sort out that took months before we moved!! I adore the card you made for your daughter and Thank you so much for joining us at Try It On Tuesday! I love that AS stamp...so much so...it has gone onto my list! Hugs, Chrisx
Congratulations to your lovely daughter for her 21st, Tracey! What absolutely gorgeous things you made for her, which I am sure she will treasure. I love the grungey wallpaper stamp and the beautiful card you made too. Thank you for enlightening me about the strange bit of wood with the string tied round it! It will be great if you can revive these and start using them again! Maybe the dried on glitter would add some interesting texture?
Thank you for your lovely comment which was so encouraging! Glad you enjoyed reading about my culinary adventures. I've made a couple of hearty salads over the last couple of days and they went down well with both us us, I'm glad to say. I am finding my new recipe app to be extremely helpful and a worthwhile investment. I'm always glad that bananas change so much as they ripen because everyone's taste is different. An unripe and a ripe banana are so different that they could almost be different fruits. I just love how I can't taste the unpleasantness of the over-ripe ones when I use them as a natural sweetener in recipes! So cool.
Happy belated WOYWW,

Amazing card Tracey. I bet your daughter loved it. That is a great keyring too. You are very clever my friend. Thanks for joining us at Try It On Tuesday with this beauty. hugs-Erika
Both your cards are gorgeous. I'm sure your daughter will cherish her keyring, which is pretty enough to be displayed. Thanks for your visit to my blog and happy WOYWW!
Hi Tracey, you have had a busy time and such happy times with your family too. That's a very beautiful card you made for your Daughter, I bet she totally loves it. Thanks for this lovely post with all those creative tips, they're always appreciated. Big hugs xx

Thanks for your visit earlier, I am again a bit late with my visit this week but hey, at least it IS still in this week ;) Hope you have a lovely weekend, hug from Holland. Marit #20
I'm a bit late to the party - but better late than never! Love your daughter's card, the rainbow background looks fabulous with the bold tulip. A gorgeous gift card, I love the stamp, and no wonder she was thrilled with the key ring, its fabulous and I'm sure she'll treasure it. Hope you've recovered from the Celebrations.

Tracey, happy belated birthday to your sweet daughter! My the time flies when our little ones grow and mark the years! My two babies marked their 21st on the 11th! Where did the time go??? What a lovely gift for your daughter, and a beautiful presentation in the stamped card. I love that stamp and in red, it's so eye catching! And the colorful card you made for her is stunning, too!
