Faux Cleaning Linda Style

I have had such fun cleaning my desk - is it clear now - definitely not but I have created these fun projects


What started off as Christmas Gift Tags soon became Christmas decorations and just as quickly became Book Gems


It all began when I started packing up the Cuttlebug and saw the Spellbinders Labels 14 just sitting there begging me to use it before packing it away ....and you know I could not resist, especially with those card stock leftovers lying there right next to it!

The :Layers of Color Belle Brocade art stencil added to the chorus calling my name - so yes - ink hit those divine stencils and things were coming together wonderfully



 - don't you love those inchies that are part of a RAK from Laura from Layers of Color - add some ribbon and a tassel - finishing with bling and that part of the desk is.....messier than it was before! LOL!



The Fleur de Lis Embossing Folder was in need of some attention and a quick massage with ink soon brought the offcuts of white card stock to life! 


 Adding an image from the Layers of Color Acanthus art stamp set that has been punched out with a circle pinch and layered onto a larger black circle

Is my desk any clearer - well, we all know the answer to that - but the right side of my brain is very happy!! LOL!  I don't know about you but I LOVE the feeling of creating something out of those leftovers!  These are perfect to pop in with your Christmas card to give that little 'something extra' and better still it is a 'work of the heart!'

Artful Inkibles - Die Cuts and Punches
