Just messing around with the figures on a Cricut cartridge this morning before my family woke up. It's WOYWW and I snapped this quick picture:
If you are not familiar with WOYWW, it is What's On Your Work-desk Wednesday, a little snapshot of just that-- mess and all-- showing a hint of what was or what will be made... or nothing much. You can link your own on the
Stamping Ground blog and see lots of other crafters' desks and get acquainted with different blogs! Last week was my first WOYWW and it was so much fun to discover so many bloggers that were new to me!
If you are visiting me from Julia's blog: W
elcome to my little crafty space in Louisville, Kentucky!
So my work-desk.... you can see the figure's layers and a mini prototype of a pyramid box (that orange thing)-- it will need to be a lot larger. My idea is a large pyramid gift box (that I will be filling with Lush bath bombs) and an Egyptian-inspired figure on a tag to go with it.
Well, at least I got the tag completed this morning!
The finished tag is made from Cricut Paper Doll Teen Scene cut at 5" and then cropped (nose and mouth are hand-cut), Art Philosophy cut at 4-1/2" for the tag layers, and leaf shapes cut with a Cuttlebug die. Tag and ribbon inked in brown.
I am off to wake up my daughter for school. (The box will have to wait for another early morning craft session). Thank you for checking my blog today! So... what's going on in your crafty space?
Well I thought you were going to make an alien from your die cut figures! Fooled when I spotted your lovely tag.thanks for your visit,

Lol, you fooled me too! I thought the beginning of the die cut looked very alien like too!! Love how it turned out though. My husband rolled his eyes and walked away when I stopped to photograph that SUV!!

I thought Alien too!! But beautiful Egyptian goddess appeared. Very clever and full of character. Your lovely tag brought back memories of many happy hours dressing paper dolls as a child. WOYWW Hugs to you Nadia - thanks for popping by to visit me - Helen 125

love the tag. didn't get my woyww post this week but thought i'd check out a few that did.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fantastic tag! Love seeing your crafty space :D. Between you and Sis the Teen cart is winding its way onto my wish list lol. Is the pyramid box a Cricut cut too? Happy WOYWW!! #134ish
ReplyDeleteP.S. I've pinned wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more things than I've actually made lol. The laundry detergent was on my list for about 4 months while I collected the necessary tools and materials lol.
ReplyDeleteI thought they looked like aliens too, in the first picture lol lol!! However, the final tag is gorgeous - that Egyptian lass has a real conquettish look doesn't she!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment on my blog, and glad you like the knitting.
Happy WOYWW,

Sally- yes, the little pyramid is from Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More 2. I am hoping to have a gift wrap post up in the next week or so-- if I can get that box big enough to use!
ReplyDeleteGreat tag and another fabulous gift set in the making. I love how you make your characters' noses! Totally original and so clever - and the little turn of the mouth - perfection. Can't wait to see the pyramidal-packaged bath bombs to go with your Cleopatra!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to WOYWW! Glad you're enjoying the snooping with the rest of us! You're doing some beautiful work at your desk. Enjoy those early morning art jaunts!
