Link to Julia's blog and then the fun comes visiting others' desks around the world and seeing what they are doing.
This is my desk today as it was left yesterday evening when I finished crafting.
I was playing with a couple of Stampendous metal stencils which I bought recently.
I drew round the bird using one stencil then moved the other around on top of the bird and drew flowers where I wanted them.
My Inktense water colour pencils are on my desk and there is as usual lots of clutter too.
Happy Crafting Everybody!

Interesting to see the desks of other crafters. My actual working space seems to shrink every time I do anything so that I end up working on a really tiny area surrounded by clutter. A constant battle to keep it tidy!!
Pretty stencil, BJ#17
I love the Inktense pencils, got a small set of my own and I don't get them out often enough. I'm going to after seeing your lovely desk!
Hugs, LLJ 14 xx
You know what they say Barb a 'busy' desk means your creating, if mine was clear I would worry...
Have a good day

Cute little bird stencil and I like your set of inktense pencils. I am sure they come in handy.

Enjoyed seeing your desk...still looks pretty tidy to me. Love what you're showing with the stenciled bird. This is going to be a really unique & so pretty element on your card. Never thought of what you've done with the stencil, but it works so well for a special look. TFS
I love to see what papercrafters do with all their lovely equipment - so clever - cute birdie!
Lovely stencil and love how it looks on the bird!
Very clever, look foward to the end result. Your desk looks as 'busy' as mine. Hee hee.
I notice your stencils. I have a lot of those kind, before we started getting plastic ones for mixed media and such. Now, down't really know how to use those. Especially now that we have embossing folders. Love your little birdie. Than you for your earlier visit. I appreciate it. #54
oh how fun, I had no idea Stampendous even had metal stencils so, I love that you are using yours with a bird :) Thanks for the earlier visit, ~Stacy #56

Hi Barb. I love how you made the bird and thanks for the warm wishes and only if you were closer I would love to help you organize.....giggle giggle. Have a great week Hugs ~Anne L #12
Never thought to use a stencil like you have, wonderful idea to tuck away in my tutorial brain.

What a pretty bird and the card is coming out nicely too. You don't see metal stencils used like that much anymore. Cool for you! PJ #61
If you don't have a bit of clutter you're not crafting right Lol! Thanks for the visit to mine and happy woyww, Angela x 25
Lovely, Barb. I haven't seen metal stencils for quite a while. I love the little bird, and your colours are gorgeous.
Thank you for your encouraging comment - I am sure I will master it in the end. My hubby says he's only got red humbrol paint, which isn't a lot of use to me since I'm painting on a red background lol! I've got one more paint avenue to try before I start trawling Ebay for humbrols.
Happy WOYWW,

I love your bird design! It'll make a great focal point for a card or scrapbook page. Blessings!
Looking good, Barb, very pretty works-in-progress!
Happy woyww to you,

Looks like you're having fun, Barb!
I like the metal stencils - I find the metal ones are much easier for spreading texture paste through but are harder to find as most stencils are plastic. I shall have to keep my eyes open for Stampendous! I like the pretty card in the background, looks like you have a lot on the go! Thanks for the visit to mine earlier, I hope you have a great week,
Diana #28
First of all thanks for visiting me yesterday whilst I was out and about.
Enjoy your crafting time with Wendy - and maybe we both will share another week what we did with our friends. Lovely work with the stencils!
Hugs, Neet 5 xx
A lovely desk today Barb, lots of crafty fun!

HI Barb, I like your metal stencil flowers and the bird, very cheerful and bright and springlike.
Thanks for your nice comments on my page.

Hi Barb,
Have you tried that Bo Bunny glitter paste with your stencils? I haven't ... yet, but it's on my shopping list. Do you like your Inktense pencils? My husband gave me the biggest set (in the wooden box!) for my birthday last year. They take up a lot of room on a desk! Thanks for dropping by earlier. Much appreciated.
Good morning, Barb! What a pretty bird. Like you, I've been crafting most of my life but I always come back to card making. Thanks for stopping by my blog this week! Creative Blessings! Kelly #43
Thanks for the visit earlier - ticks are going on my to do list now!!
Love that little bird, very clever. I have Inktense pencils as well, love them.
Take care and have a good week
