What's On Your Workdesk ? Wednesday #124-More wedding preparations

BEFORE......................
AFTER.................

120  Thank you cards later! Yep, got this wedding chore out of the way................sheesh......this is not even all of them...my daughter took some earlier today as she has been "patiently waiting" for Mom to finish so she could send out some shower thank-you's! DONE!!!  Cha-ching!  Now on to tags and bags for wedding favors! Maybe next week I will have them done to show you!

Still painting on another wedding project....have you figured out what they will be? 


I kept them simple but loved the elegant embossing. Sentiment is Stampin Up!  The top two embossing folders are from SU-Framed Tulips and Vintage Wallpaper. I used either Naturals Ivory or Confetti Cream cardstock from SU!  (can't remember now what I ordered)  The sentiment is popped up for some added dimension.

A quick post tonight for What's On You Workdesk Wednesday 124. Go give Julia a hug...she broke her favorite mug this week.

Note:  You can see the finished Halloween candy jars HERE.

    Wow, those Halloween goodies are fabulous. I could tear into them right now. Your cards really ARE elegant. Love them. And I still have no idea what the wood is going to become next. Have a great WOYWW from #2.

    Now that's a fabulous desk!!!! I love both the before and the after. There is so much great stuff there I don't know what I love best. Super cards too by the way! The painting things..hmmmm, are they table numbers? Was at a wedding this weekend so I'm just throwing things out there! Great visit, thanks for the peek!

    WoW! What a great desk Sue! I know you must be breathing hard just to keep up, but it's a great sight. Beautiful thank you cards, really lovely. The Hallowe'en tubs are so fun, what fab ideas!
    I'm thinking the painted squares may be table lists, but change my mind often!

    Talk about elegant! I just ordered some SU craft pads and didn't even look at anything else. Those folders are just gorgeous. Love the deep impressions.

    I see the bride has made some decisions. Are those table assignment canvases?
