Decoupaged Desk Organiser Hi friends...happy to share a special project I made for my craft-room ...a decoupaged desk organiser. This is a mammoth desk organiser and has place to hold a lot of my crafty supplies but truth be told I just feel like looking at it and not using it at all...it turned out too pretty to use!!! Decoupaged Desk Organiser This is the MDF organiser I got from TCES ... I love the quality of Rakhi's products and this is the 2nd one I got from her...you can see my first project here : Ocean Themed Shadowbox Desk Organizer . MDF Desk Organiser from TCES This organiser is pretty huge measuring 16 x 11 x 10 inches and  made of thick sheets of MDF so it is pretty sturdy. It was quite easy to decoupage too as it comes already smooth and well sanded  thus saving a lot of time  when decoupaging and it is easy to get a  beautiful finish. Desk Organiser I chose to use Graphic 45 once again....somehow Graphic 45 papers are my go to papers for larg...

Cascading Card Hi friends sharing another  Pop Up Card in a cascading design similar to the Snowflake Cascading card I had shared earlier. This time I modified the snowflakes by chopping off bits and added a snowglobe. This special card is  my DT project for the  Rudolph Days Challenge  .

Added a pair of die cut deer and poinsettias and finished off by adding  " XMAS 2018" Snowglobe Card I am in love with the teal blue and the dangling hearts!
