This is my desk this week still in the process of card making for Christmas. I am scoring cards and getting them ready then I hit a snag. I don't know which card to go with. So can you please help me.
Oh and I found a toaster rack in Sterling Silver this week perfect for drying my cards.
Now onto the card choice, you choose No 1, 2 or 3
 |
| No 1 - White, Green & Red |
 |
| No 2 - Red, White & Cream |
 |
| No 3 - Burgundy, Cream & White |
This week so much has happened With the help of one of our very own WOYWW'ers I have been in contact with Sizzix, thanks a bunch Zeffy you are a very kind woman. I have been corresponding with them and they might be sending out a replacement Vagabond, I will believe it when it actually arrives and I am not holding my breath, yes I sound negative but who knows, I will keep you all updated and thank you so much everyone for caring and sharing your information it certainly has given me some ammunition to use against the machine, that and the fact that I am licensed electrical technician. LOL I did also send Tim Holtz a message via his blog about his name being trashed but he has not replied, I really didn't expect him to.
Yoda is doing great, he has one paw on my arm as I am typing up this blog post and sends his love to everyone.
Now last but not least I received a beautiful ATC in the post it has taken ages to get to me but it is one very fine piece of art from Patsy in the Philippines and on it says Inspiration is all around, so apt don't you think! Thanks a bunch Patsy Beautiful.
Now onto some really tragic headlines that is happening in USA I do hope everything gets back to normal soon, what horrible weather and devastation that is happening. I am praying for you all. Please do not hurt any more people and I hope no one from the WOYWW is in trouble and doing it hard. Again I am praying for you all.
So that is me this week want to see more desks then go to the Stamping Ground and cruse to your hearts content, travel the world with thanks to Headmistress Julia.
Hugs Eliza

Hi Eliza hope you have good news soon about your Vagabond.. Which card you ask? Well I like both no 1 and 2 either would be lovely. What a great sentiment on the Atc you received. Love the colors. Pats for Yoda... All the best Sandy :)
Howdy,
#2.
I think card #2 is exquisite! It stands out from the other lovely cards.
Peace,

Doh! I missed being your first commenter this week! Well, I guess I can't always be first. ;)
Anyways, the cards are lovely and if I had to pick one, gun to my head, I would say #2, but only because it doesn't look as Christmassy as the other two! (hahaha, because you know I don't do this one)Whichever one ends up "winning" I hope they go together quickly for you since I know you're very very busy this time of year and you still need some playtime. :) Hey, come see what I did to my desk! No promises but, in my heightened state of delirium brought on by exhaustion, I think its pretty fan-freaking-tastic. ;)

Hi there Eliza, well I looked and looked and looked and kept coming back to #2
Also, thankyou for your kind comments earlier.
Cheers,
Elaine #27
I prefer no.1 because it is bright and Christmasy, but if you're going for a more sophisticated look, then no. 2 would be it. I am sooo happy the ATC finally got to you! And your cat really looks like Yoda! How amusing is that!!! Happy WOYWW, Eliza! Patsy from

Thanks for your lovely comment Eliza. I like No. 1 version the best. Might now have to go dig out my unused toast racks! And amazed that Tim hasn't replied as he always has to my comments good or bad as I was having trouble with my WORDPLAY die and he got on to Sizzix for me and I then got a call from Sizzix to chat about how to cope with my problem. I guess your problem with the Vagabond isn't something you can get around. I have heard quite a few negative comments on that machine and am glad I just have a Cuttlebug now. BJ#35
Hi Eliza - ah great news about the vagabond - WONDERFUL!! and am trusting it will all work out well for you!!
RE cards - now they are all gorgeous.. but think must be number one.. but hey why do they all have to be the same cant you do a third of each?? anyway no. 1 is my fav.
Great work by Patsy and happy WOYWW and thanks for popping over Shaz in oz. x.
Love your cards - all versions! I would do some of each too..then I wouldn't get too bored! Have a great day. Helen 4
I like no 1 the best, to me has more impact. Hope you get joy with your vagabond. Francesca #74
Love your cards and my vote goes to No1 although it's a fine line as they are all lovely. Thanks for visiting and you're on the Bits & Bobs list,

I'm sat reading my WOYWW blogs on my sick bed this week but have my mask on so you don't catch anything. I'm enjoying reading what everyone is up to this week [it's better than reading magazines :-) ]. I'm leaving a copied comment so you know I've called by because my hands are too weak and shaky to keep typing out my comments this week.
Big hugs,
A x #93
No wonder you are finding it hard to choose, they are all stunning. So I agree that maybe do some of all three- you get to mix things up a little then, and it does feel less like a production line. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #90
I am voting for nr. 1! Love your desk at the window, wish I had that!
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian
I'd go with No 1; it's definitely the most striking.... but classy might be better, in which case no 2.... does that help???
Happy Wednesday! Chloe 106 x
Love all your cards, but no.1 is more Christmas and no.2 gives more a feeling of winter. I think I go for no.2, just to have something different. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a crafty WOYWW. Bye Franka #46
well it has to be card one for me i reckon,like the idea of using the toast rack to sort and dry cards,thanks for visiting me
have a fab woyww

Card no.1 is our favourite, it stands out a little more. Good luck with your Vagabond, and hello Yoda from the bears :)
Good news about your Vagabond, I've heard so many of them have blown up, obviously the quality is sadly lacking there. I like all the cards you've shown, perhaps number one sets the image off more? Glad Yoda is doing well, has Ditto come round to him yet? Lovely gift from Patsy too.

Hi Eliza, I like no.2 card best but they're all nice. JB *128 WOYWW
I like the first Chickadee card on the red, it really pops! Glad to hear that you "might" get a replacement machine, do keep us informed! Yoda always looks sleepy, or is that his "love" look? lol Thanks for stopping by my blog, waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
WOW! When I read the post last week I was hoping my Vagabond would last for a while longer cause everyone elses is falling apart...literally in some cases. Don't hold your breath waiting for Tim Holtz to get back to you cause on negative comments he just ignores them but on the positive he sometimes replys. If the products weren't so stinkin' cute I would quit buying them! Glad Yoda is feeling better. Is he still losing weight! Love all the cards but I think the red and green really pops for me. How about inking around the popped up piece a bit to frame the birds! Thanks for sharing and commenting by my blog! Have a great week! Vickie #37
I like #2. I love your view out your window, I bet it gives great light, while you work.
Hard to pick Eliza, I mean, can't you just do a batch of all three? But I guess if you force me, I'd pick number one. But don't offer me a choice, it makes me weak in the head when they're all so lovely. Am pleased to hear that Sizzix are standing by..I havent heard of anyone who's Vagabond hasn't been replaced by them...but I do suspect that TH will just keep his head down, he must be very well aware, huh! Hey, I've just skipped through your comments....asking us to choose hasn't exactly narrowed it down for you!!
Okay, all the cards are pretty, but if you send one to me ;) I like the contrast of number one . . . good news about the Vagabond, maybe you just got a bad one?
Good old Yoda, I was just telling my DH about him yesterday morning, and how much he's changed over the past few weeks--it's been amazing to see his progress!
Gorgeous atc from Patsy--swaps can be so much fun.

#32 this week
I vote for #1 with the green, red and white. The white on white layered background doesn't do it for me. It does sometimes, but not this time. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
I hope Sizzix helps you out with a replacement Vagabond. To me, it is only right!
Yoda is looking good. I have new babies on my blog today. Not the best photo. It was the last one before the camera batteries gave out.
The cards are al lovely but my first choice would be number one. Will keep my fingers crossed that you get a new Vagabond. Happy WOYWW Anne x #142
They are all brilliant, Eliza, but if I have to choose, I vote for number 1. I love how the image really pops against that red background. I hope that helps with your snag. If not, you can borrow my fingernail file.
Sending a paw of love back to Yoda!
Thanks for coming by to visit me already! Have a wonderful week! Darnell #63
I forget to lok at your desk ...I get distracted by what you can see through your window ...dont think I'd ever craft ...just muse.
So glad things are moving with the Vagabond but I am surprized you didnt get some sort of reply ...he is meant to be caring and hands on ...ah well.
Now the cards ...love all three ...but No 1 jumped out at me.
Yoda really is the most perfect name. Love him xx
Hello Eliza, I'm No1, I put the number after my name in my original comment.

Hi, Eliza, I can see why it's hard to decide between your card designs. They're lovely. There is more contrast with #1, but #2 is my favorite. Thanks for visiting my blog -- I'm just beginning to visit this morning. Happy WOYWW! ~ Laura #148
I like card 1 the best. It really pops. And is just beautiful. 2 isn't bad with its more subtle look. I'm so glad there is a chance at a new vagbond. Hope it works out. the new drying rack looks perfect as well.
Blessings for an excellent week.

Hi Eliza, I haven't seen what problems you have had with your vagabond, but between my sister, DiL and myself we have have had 6 of them. I complained to Sizzix and got a new one out of them, but that died too. They need to get it sorted.
Love all your cards and if it were me I would make a batch of each.
Thanks for your WOYWW visit this week.
Enjoy your weekend.
