Ah yes - that day is here yet again and thanks to
Julia we can have a peek into the workings of a crafter and their desks! Here is my trusty Cuttlebug which is quite happy to cut Sizzix Bigz dies, Quickutz, Nesties and the like. My Fiskars paper trimmer one of my first purchases all those years ago, along with my cutting mat. My glasses which I can't seem to do without these days! Oh and my green laptop with my Altered Book on top. My Cuttlebug and Laptop have to do a change of positions every time I need to do some diecutting.
I'm currently doing a scrapbook page and have actually made my own backing paper this time. Old Paper Stain to cover the white cardstock, inking and stamping a bit of grunge. It's geting there, still needs sticking down though. Thanks for stopping by, BJ.

Lovely page, I think the colours you've chosen to go with the green in the photos work beautifully. #40
Great looking desk. I love my Big Shot and just recently bought the electronic one from Tim Holtz but have yet to take it out of the box. I bought it cause it was such a good deal at $150 and will eventually start using it. Have a great week. Vickie #32

HI BJ, many thanks for stopping by my blog, it really is appreciated. You asked about a RUB? It is an abbreviation for a 'Really Useful Box', often sold in various craft outlets :)
Hugs, Karen xxx
My craftroom is so small, everything needs to move around (including me)if I want to do anything. LOL
Love the LO and the backing paper is looking great.
Nope! I haven't tidied up as yet!! been on the computer blog hopping most of the morning, spent the afternoon on the phone with the soon to be ex husband and the lawyer regarding the divorce! I have to dye my hair later and tomorrow is jobcentre day... *sighs* ... maybe friday?...lol

What a gorgeous scrapbook page. Your desk is very organised and tidy. Love my vist round at yours. Hugs Rita xxx 55
Beautiful Layout,love your desk... Have a good week, Hugs May x x No2
Your scrapbook page looks great!! Good to hear you are managing to cut Sissix dies in it, I am singularly unsuccessful, no matter what I try. Nesties always worked fine though, it's just the TH dies I can't seem to work....
Have a great week and enjoy this special WOYWW!

Your background is beautiful and makes a great base for the page. I have a Cuttlebug as well and the only thing I don't like about it is the size of the embossing folders - just not big enough for a card front - may treat myself to a Big Shot soon.

Tools and gadgets that I haven't a clue about ....but.... I guess I can say the same about those who visit my blog .... all the same... pretty interesting to see what others are doing in the crafting department.....

That page looks great and glad to find another cuttlebug fan Jacqui #119 Scor tape is a strong double sided adhesive tape that comes in a variety of widths from 1/4". It is like red line tape but without the annoying red plastic backing that sticks to everything including your hands - Oyster Stamps stock it as do Crafts U Love but I tend to get mine from USA via Ebay - even with postage it is cheaper - I just look for the cheapest - its called Sookwang too!!
Great LO!! We go geocaching too, it's good fun and was a way of getting the boys out for a bracing walk!!
Hugs, LLJ #7 xx
Great page... I need a new bigshot as it appears Ive over wound mine..oops!! Love the inking of your own backing paper. Looks fab xx thanks for sharing x
147. Your page willturn out great. LOL
Hi BJ, tried to pm you but can't find your email deets anywhere, so will just use this. Thanks for the return visit.... I tried to use 2 B plates on my cuttlebug with TH tattered florals and they just don't cut through properly. I have tried with card stock, paper, a shim, it just does not work. It may be this particular die (I only have one other TH which I have not tried recently), but last time I tried that one it did not work either. I love the TH dies but don't dare to purchase anymore until I either can manage with the bug or invest in a Bigshot. Thanks so much for your offer to help!!
That page looks great.

I have a Cuttlebug but haven't used it much. But I will, some day!!!
Happy WOYWW
