I blame a lot of you WOYWW enablers for my latest shopping spree, almost every desk I visit has TH goodies spread about! It's all your fault! lol So this isn't a picture of my desk but my craft chair! I am hoping to be ready to play along with the monthly tags that I keep seeing on everyone's desks!

My card for the Paper Crafts Gallery Idol contest:
I love all the little beads I used to make up the watermelon! The little ant is a brad, but I did have to alter him to make him look like he was carrying the watermelon!
Bazzil Card stock
Eyelet Outlet brad
Mary's CARDZTV stamp set
TOHO beads

Holy cow. You really DID go out and buy a lot of TH goodies. That is one bug I've never caught. Lovely card, though, since you make so many of them.
I was visiting one of the WOYWWers when I saw Julia had already posted. So here I am late this week. Happy WOYWW from #9.

I have no clue what you'll do with all that stuff but will watch with interest.
Love the ant ~ what a hero carrying that Watermelon! I love the sentiment too. ;D

Hi there, just popping in to visit for WOYWW. It's lovely to see so many creative spaces! Thanks for sharing your inspiration with us curious folk! I hope you have a good week. I've recently got a melt pot too. You'll have fun with it! I think your card is just fab!

Great card and a great message too - you CAN achieve anything if you believe in yourself :) I need to take that on board at the moment!
Hugs, LLJ #57 xx
Lol new goodies are something that happens! I agree looking at desks has a way of making you NEED things! Take care on this wonderful sunny WOYWW day. Zo xx 78
Good to see someone else enjoying a good spend. I haven't used my melt -pot for a while now but I do like to swirly different colours of EP in it - makes a great marbling look.
Adore your ant and watermelon card - very clever.

Now I know you blame me for the melt pot but that's not fair as I do my enamelling with little tin pie dishes - so there! LOL. Love all your new goodies Sandee, you are worth it, just don't buy any more this week and things will even out.............ha ha.

loving your desk, so full of amazing goodies. and the watermelon - adorable. I used to love making "beadlings" but not so much anymore. I do have a fab mermaid that I can't bear to use on a project, it's soo cute as it is. Maybe one day.
Happy WOYWW

Kxoxo#54
oh my goodness that watermelon is beautiful! great job
Oh, the TH bug can become serious and very quickly too.... :) #116
This is the coolest card--so cute and good enough to eat. Your chair full of goodies looks like mine after a shopping trip--just different stuff!
I went back & read your first post--you are right, you are much better at ranting, LOL! At least I was able to get my blog back.
Ah, the TH addiction begins! That is one incredibly amazing card!
Hugs
Brenda 123

Love the ant. This is such a clevere card and perfect for the challenge!
Oh my goodness at all the goodies you have there girl! Can't wait to see what you do with the melting pot! Thanks for sharing...#113
I must be the odd one out, I don't own even one TH product! Love the beady card, how do you get the beads to stay on? Happy WOYWW #60
Wow, all those beads. That must have taken you ages. It is fabulous
Famfa x
I've not caught the TH bug but you're right, just about every desk had something TH on.
That card is amazing!! Please, where did you get the ant brad from?
Laura 138
Hi Sandee,
I love watermelon!!! I can see how much that little ant loves it too. Like you (before your shopping spree) I don't have many TH products. I do have some of his stamp sets and a couple of the distress inks - oh but he is popular among the WOYWWers.
I'm not too sure about the new google. I did see where I can schedule a post - will try that next Wednesday.
Hugs,
Kay #141
Hi Sandee, I'd say that you have all the TH basics on your chair and expect you would have bought them without your enablers' help :) I call the EM my enabler because he just lets me get on with crafting, ignores all the little parcels the postie brings and builds more shelves to accommodate the contents ... the perfect enabler :) Love the idea of an ant carrying a watermelon - the beads are terrific too. Hope you are having a great WOYWW, waving hi from the west coast of Scotland :) Elizabeth x #127
Wow! lots of Timmy goodies! have fun with those. Loving the watermelon card! I too love how you made the melon out of all those tiny beads! and cute ant too :o) x April #97
Your card is so beautiful and I imagine you are a very patience person to create that kind of work. Just beautiful!
Awesome watermelon...cute little ant too. I would love to know how the Distress Markers work, haven't seen them around here yet. Thanks for stopping by..Happy WOYWW
I totally agree with you! WOYWW is so bad for the wallet and YES! Everyone has Tim stuff on their desk. Even me! It is tucked up in one of my cubbies, but I have several distress ink inkpads. I want get the tool you have at the bottom of your picture (blending tool I think its call and the two things to the upper right of that and some sort of spray. I just love the Tim look and feel left out every WOYWW. Love the beaded watermelon!!! Are those real watermelon seeds in it??!!? Cute little ant too. Great card!!!!!!!
Your watermelon looks fantastic - what a lot of little beads!
Bernice (#82)
Love all the great Tim Holtz goodies. I also really like your cute card.
Donna #20
I must admit, I love Tim's style, but I don't like to do it myself. It always looks kinda lame! I LOVE the watermelon card.
Happy WOYWW
Thank you so much for stopping by and saying such nice things about my art. Seeing your blog title made me homesick, even though I used to live in NYC, not anywhere near North Carolina!
You're going to love the melt pot. Although you may need a second one that you use for clear only. You never get them totally clean, so it really is worth having 2. Sorry to enable more!
cheers,
rachel
wicked beaded melon and that ant made me smile,enjoy your new goodies
have a fab woyww
kay #33

janet #47

Looking forward to our swap next week.
