WOYWW? 178

 What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday! Yep it's back again the weekly blog hop Miss Julia created for all of us nosey bloggers.  So tonight (as it is still Tuesday here in California for an other 45 min.) this is dear Betsy, quite cluttered with an assortment of stamps, ink pads, and scissors.  Not much creativity lurking about on Betsy this week.  I have been busy searching, and cropping and printing photos for a Christmas present for my DIL. I decided to make her a memories quilt.  I've made a couple in the past and they do take some time to make. Getting the pictures cropped and printed take the longest, but I finally got the last sheet printed this morning.  Then a couple hours of cutting them apart and trimming them( oooph! I hate that part)  So here is a pic of the quilt, it's a twin size, meant more for a throw than a blanket. 

 Here it is all laid out again with all 62 pictures!!  She loves purple, so every picture is framed in purple with a purple and hot pink daisy in the corner.  The word Family runs through the middle ( also printed on the PC)  Sine there was still a lot of space left, and I'm out of transfer paper I chose to use some stamps around the edges.  There is a flower boarder all the way around it, then in between the pictures I used a butterfly and a dragonfly stamp.  I was not about to try and color each image, but it needed something........... Since the paper backing was still on each pic. I chose to use a couple stencil brushes and and eggplant purple and a plum ink pad and just softly shadow around each pic.  There is one picture, under the I that has a white frame around it, that is my son and daughter in law the day they were married.  It's the Kiss of course, and the caption says "It started with a kiss".

Here is a closer view of one of the corners ( pretty little granddaughters there too)

I haven't gotten started on my Christmas cards yet, but here is one gift finished!!  I had planned on making two of these this year, but youngest son and DIL announced they are expecting in March, so theirs gos to the back burner for awhile.

My Waahoo moment is.........wait for it................
We are going to be blessed with our first grandson in March!!!!!! Yes I have already bought a couple of "blue" items.
