What's on your workdesk Wednesday 200

Well it was my intention to post early this morning what's on my work desk, but I wanted to show the finished layout and it took a little longer than planned.

If you are wondering what WOYWW is all about pop over to Julia's blog here or follow the link on the sidebar.

So here is my desk at the start of today, I am working on a wedding album so you can see all the lovely flowers, papers and goodies that I hope to use on the pages.






Here is the extra mess I made looking for a strip of lace!



 
 
 
 
After much messing around with the design I decided I wanted some swirls, but didn't have any pearls the right colour. So I decided to stitch beads onto the paper in the swirly shapes and to go across the photographs in some places.
 
 So here we are three hours later.....

    You have made a lovely layout but I must laugh because we are so picky when it comes to what to use for a LO and thats when we make a big mess!
    Hugs,

    OMG, do you have enough lace there Karen!
    Your LO has turned out beautiful which is not surprising, having all those lush goodies to help you create your album.
    I’ve had stitched seed beads on to a LO before now and it’s not easy is it?...Time consuming too!
    Have a great week and ………..
    Happy Crafting!

      I could never have enough lace, it is a bit of an obsession in case you didn't realise :-)

    Hi Karen,

    Look at all that lace! I had fun going through some of my ribbon over the weekend. Didn't do anything with it but enjoyed looking at all the colors.

    Your wedding page looks great.

    Happy WOYWW

    Gorgeous layout and the lace was well worth the mess. Your red bead flourish is lovely, even if it took some time to sew. I like the idea of a red and white themed wedding ... such a change from all those pastels. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Elizabeth x #95
