WOYWW cards and canvas

Wednesdays are coming around faster, aren't they? I have no explanation for this.
At least it brings lots of interesting stuff to look at, via WOYWW, compliments of Julia.


I needed a few birthday cards, in a hurry, so I went to the "Almost Finished Card Box" which, as the name suggests, contains many almost finished cards.  They just needed a "Happy Birthday" and some extra bling. You can't have too much bling, can you? Thought I would use my under utilised Dymo labeller. Look OK, don't they? (The Dymo labels, that is.)

And, if you've been here previously, you know I have a habit of leaving you with nearly finished projects (not unlike the cards in the box, as mentioned above). Well, here's one from a few weeks ago, which is 95% finished, and has been given away. The last 5% requires an up to date photo from the birthday girl, which I will frame and add to the canvas, somewhere in the middle.


 
Hmm, it really does look nicer, IRL, than this photo shows. You'll just have to take my word for that.

    Lovely cards (really like the kid images.... stamps or photos?) and it is great to see the finished 21 card. I am in the middle of emptying the kitchen. After all this time it is finally happening. I don't think I will get a lot of crafting done this week! Hopefully by next week I can post a pic of the kitchen.

    Well I've been in and out today like a fiddlers elbow but I've got a number now...pity it's the only thing I've got to show for the day ;D
    Love your cards and have to admit I had no idea you could get nearly done cards!
    You learn something new every day eh?

    I love all of your cards on display today...they are rather romantic.

    Now I must get on with the day before this sun disappears!
    Thanks so much for popping over earlier...I didn't realise you were so close to me :D

    Have a great Wednesday

    All projects are lovely - I know what you mean about keeping half done cards as I do it a lot (they come in so handy at times dont they!). Sunshine Girl - no. 37

    Morning, thanks for letting me peek into your creative world this morning. I think we all have an almost finished pile in our rooms, I know I do!

    You have an 'almost finished' card box and I have an 'almost started' one. Must get going on some cards but so much to do.....
    May help if I didn't spend all day Wednesday snooping ha ha.

    Stunning cards! I have a similar thing too..a drawer full of very basic card toppers that I can add to a blank card with a few extra embellishments whenever I need a card. Happy WOYWW! xxx Laura #51

    I do take your word..the canvas looks pretty lovely from here I can assure you! 'Almost finished' cards..wow, I never knew of such a thing, how interesting..the nearest I get to that is 'not started'!! I guess you mean that they need a relevant greeting or embellishment to make them appropriate to recipient. What a great idea. See, WOYWW is just filled with genius ideas.
    Many a true word about the light in our two hemispheres, I would give a bit to be knocking about in Sydney again right now, I must say!

    I would never have thought of using a label machine in that way but those cards look just perfect with the sentiments done that way. Happy WOYWW, hugs Buttons #77

    certainly getting on with your project, I just scrolled back to see! I haven't a lable machine but do have a font that matches it and it works very well!

    A different to my freebie in casethe other one isn't working

    you have an 'almost finished' box - I'm impressed. It's a good idea, just not sure I could leave a card alone until I had it completely finished. Lovely cards and it is my experience that all the lovely things we make look better in real life :) Hope you had a great WOYWW. Elizabeth x #112

    Holy cow, did you cut that chandelier out? That is like... too painstaking (and possibly painful). The cards look good. I have used up most of my stash of not done cards. EEK! It always feels good to get them out and finished. And yes, the Dymo label looks just fine.

    I have a box like yours, only it contains stamped images, some coloured, and embellies usually left over from other projects. It is a wonderful box in which to rummage through and make a card in minutes!
