Workdesk Wednesday and Projects Planned

It's time again for another installment of Workdesk Wednesday where those brave or foolish enough to show you their workspace get together to snoop.  Come and join over at Stamping Ground.

Here's my desk as of Tuesday night as I toddle off to bed. I've been good about keeping it tidy even though I've done a lot of playing this past week. I finished off quite a number the things I had on my desk last week and have moved on to other things.

This little pile shows you my original rejects from yesterday's CASE this Sketch card, plus a rejected House Mouse (I didn't like the purple underfoot), a Penny Black stamp I got out to make a card with, and that same cat image from last week.  Although you can see I pulled out another cat stamp to put with him.  I'm still not sure what he'll turn out to be.

This is the same brand new unused stamp set from last week.  I did not get around to using it yet.  I did pull out some Valentine papers to inspire me.  Even though I had great plans for making Valentine's cards nice and early this year so far it hasn't happened.

This pile has a card I made for a swap, a get well stamp that needs to be made into a card, some stickers that were a gift that I want to use soon and underneath that a Christmas set that I don't much care for but am determined to use.  The package of twine was bought in late November in case my stamp club did a gift exchange.  We were talking about not doing one but hubby told me to pick up something just in case so I got this.  I thought it was really cool with all those solid colors of twine, but just the other day I noticed that it is TWO rolls of each color.  Therefore, it is only half as cool as I thought.  Well, as you can see we didn't do a gift exchange because I still have it.  I need to decide what to do with it. I'm quite sure I don't need two rolls of each color though.

Here's a close up of the card I made since many of visitors come to see my crafty creations.  The basis of the card swap is to use pink and brown. The medallion image is more pink in real life but came out very red in this scan.  I'm not sure if the bubblegum pink overwhelms the rest of the card or not.  When that color first came out I used it all the time. I was so in love with bubblegum pink.  Now however I think it is way too bright.  I must have been feeling flamboyant before.
