Flying in with really quick post - pickies? plenty - yes Words - not much!
Its WOYWW or What is on your workdesk Wednesday over here ..at our Julia's of the Stamping Ground! To my desk today:
 |
| Okay, my desk has been stationary for last 3 days .. been busy sorting paperwork, of a boring quantity so wont rattle on about that. Was wanting to use up this "reject" image with Darkroom Door Butterfly Post Collage, used Cosmic shimmer of varying shades. Had a die cut - but it needed extending so stopped to think about it, or not! (how to extend a die - here). At rear is NOEL stamp (gift from Ginny of Maxam Made, I just had to pay post cost to Oz :D) ready for Rudolph day in 2 days over at Scrappy Mo's. (or that's the plan :D) |
 |
| Two male cards from last month for family. This is with shimmery gold mist + green Distress inks, embossed with fern EF by Sizzix, added hand cut Geckos - discontinued stamp (c. 1990's) stamped on cork. Also used IO Greetings Top Edgers trimmed. |
 |
| A Digi card freebie from Google search, 3D the frog and printed the greeting using DaFont Old Typewrite font. Scalloped Rectangle by Xcut was also extended. (Started this card 3 times, you wouldn't believe issues I had cutting it !) |
 |
| Again to the Aussie shots take by sister on Holidays on South coast of NSW.. a Goanna .. a very large lizard. |
 |
| Some more rock pool, at sunrise... very peaceful. |
Thanks
so much everyone for popping over for a peek and please stay and chat..
May the LORD God bless your day, wherever you may be!

Let us pause to remember the real meaning of Easter time:
For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John :16

ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I saw a goanna in the flesh - I jumped a mile!! They're bigger than you think, aren't they?! I love that gecko card, great colours and texture..
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ 1 xx
That fern embossing looks really gorgeous !!
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, love the cards. I always get stuck with cards foe men they normally end up with balloons or cars but these are much better. Love the photos especially the lizard. Happy woyww, Angela x 23
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Shaz - I always struggle with cards for the menfolk. Anne x #24
ReplyDeleteI love the butterfly collage stamp - especially looks good in those two colours. Most of all I LOVE the knitted monkeys - the expression on the bigger ones face really made me laugh! The lizard card is beautiful and I am adding the fern embossing folder to my wish list (although I really don't need any more supplies)!! Have a great week and thanks for the happy blogpost!

Can't wait to see what you do with the butterflies. I'm with Di on that lizard. Love the froggy card. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteI am doing a very quick whistle stop tour of my fav blogs in my lunch break today. It's pretty manic returning the bungalow to a little nearer normality for when our Dutch friends arrive tomorrow so please forgive me that it is such a quick visit.
ReplyDeleteFab cards and that lizard is really stunning....just not sure I would want to meet one lol
Hugs,

Good Morning. I love the butterflies and can not wait to peek at the finished project. The lizard looks very large reminds me of the one my DH brought home a few days after we got married said he had a present and he walks in with a large tank and a very large lizard. Great pictures from your sister. Have a great WOYWW and happy Easter weekend. Hugs~Anne L#7
ReplyDeleteLove that gecko card with all its shimmer and that EF. All those little left over dots on your desk! Better pick them up soon or else they will end up tracked all over the house! That butterfly piece is looking nifty. All and all, it's all good at your place! PJ #61
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, love that Gecko stamp. Great explanation of how to enlarge a die too. Bookmarked it for later use. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz#29 xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards as usual Shaz. The gecko one is perfect for a man. That lizard looks huge in the picture. Thank you for sharing as always. Blessings, Betsy
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented, I have always a great difficulty to make male cards.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, nature is just fabulous in Australia!
Hi Shaz, your cards are beautiful. The geckos are cute and I love the laid back frog, or is it a toad - I never know the difference :) As usual, I enjoyed the Aussie pics too. Thanks for your visit earlier today. Hope you enjoy the Easter break. Hugs, Elizabeth x #46
ReplyDeleteIt is a busy Desk & we have a friend in Commom. I lkove Ginney Donna WOYWW #58

Beautiful cards, great photos, lovely colour tones too. AND a busy desk...have a lovely Easter weekend...xx {aNNie}
ReplyDeleteLove your male cards, that background is so cool with your Geckos in the first card, neat idea to stamp on the cork and I just love that image you found for the second card, just brings a smile to my face and perfect with the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteAlways interested in your desk. Wish mine looked like that! You have so many wonderful ideas to share. Bless you during this wonderful season of the year when we celebrate our Lord's Victory over death! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, great cards. You alwas have wonderful ideas. Peg 70

Fabby Cards Shaz but I love that frog for Jay so kewl Happy Easter hugs Nikki 6
ReplyDeleteThey are two great male cards Shaz. I really like the gecko stamp and your shimmery background looks great. What an amazing photo of the lizard. He's a big boy. Wishing you a very happy Easter. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment on my blog. I've just been enjoying myself mooching around your blog and enjoying the inspiration and have followed you. Love the male cards you created in this post. I hope you have a reflective and happy Easter. Cara x
ReplyDeleteVisiting you this Good Friday. And commenting late on your woyww post. I don't think Annie has done a Friday Smiles post...
ReplyDeleteI love your 'male' cards, especially the gecko one. It looks so Australian. I love aboriginal art and they use lizard type motives too. The lazy frog is quite funny too.
We are on holiday on the coast so that we can attend an English speaking church to celebrate the resurrection properly.
Wishing you a very blessed Easter weekend.

ReplyDeleteYou have beautiful creations on your blog and I love the photos of your country, never having been myself, my husband has many, many years ago before I met him and he say's it's a fascinating land.
Love your two cards here, both are fabulous and love the little frog, he is so cute. I've clicked the button to be your latest follower, so thank you once again and I hope you will be a frequent visitor and like what I do, Kate x
Two great cards here Shaz but the first one is outstanding. The embossing, cut out Geckos and the colours that you've used are all absolutely perfect, I love it x

It is always fun to see what is on your work desk : ) Love your stamping on cork- awesome cards! Hope you have a blessed Easter weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right,it isn'tabout the bunny.....
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards, lovely photos, what a feast for us! Merci bien mon amie! xx
you were busy! Thanks for showing pic of the lizard. I love critters - big and small. Creative Blessings! Kelly #49
ReplyDeleteThe gecko cards are so fun! Love your idea of stamping on cork paper and the second one is fun with this great choice of personalized sentiment.
ReplyDeleteGreat desk and busy crafting by looks of it. Take care Zo xx 43
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous masculine cards Sharon!! I so love those cute hand cut geckos and that leafy ef background. The shimmery gold mist and green ink looks so beautiful together, love it! I also love your second card. That frog is just to cute!! And that weaved background die cut is stunning, gosh I love that and works so well on this card. Love the sentiment you did too. This card just makes me smile!! Love the photos of your beautiful country. But it is the last one that I am really loving, for Easter isn't about the bunny. I was glad that my kids told their kids what Easter was really about. I also got them Resurrection Eggs to tell the story too for the older grands. The younger ones will get them as well when they are a little bit older. Hugs, Brenda
