I know it has been forever since I've posted anything. I apologize. Sometimes other things have to come first. Hopefully I'll start posting a little more regularly. While I've been away I did manage to do a partial room makeover on my Craft Room. I am so happy with the way it turned out. I promise to share some pictures soon. Here is a sneak peek of what I've done.
The room is really small, but I've managed to pack a lot into it. It used to be a really dark burgundy and there was carpet on the floor. I primed and painted the walls a lovely light pink and removed the carpet and put down the black and white floor tiles. I did it all myself and I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. More pictures to come.
Today I also want to share a picture of a card I made for a crafty friend. She is an amazing crafter and a sweet, kind friend. She recently sent me a huge package of crafty goodies too numerous to show here, but I was totally surprised and overwhelmed by her generosity. She has a blog www.craftinblind.blogspot.com. You really must go check out her work. Her projects are awesome! To thank her and to enclose with a package I sent her, I made this card.
My card base is Bazzill cardstock, then a white mat which is Georgia Pacific white cardstock, then a patterned mat which was cut from the DCWV Primrose Stack. I used a Martha Stewart punch to create a border using the same GP white cardstock and added some sheer pink ribbon and a pink rose from my stash. The shape at the top was cut with a Sizzix die and my Big Shot and the stamp is an old Fiskars stamp. All edges were inked with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress ink. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to post again soon.
Hugs,
Paula
I really love the pink walls and tile floor! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane. The room is pretty small so I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to photograph it now that all the furniture is back in. I hope to get those pictures posted shortly. Thanks again.
DeleteWOW! I love the sneak peek and can't wait to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You must be so excited :)
ReplyDeleteAnd what a cute card! I love that scalloped edge, is it a punch?
Hope to talk and see you soon!!!!!
Thanks Sarabeth. I am excited that it is finally finished. I hope to get more photos posted and I do hope you can come see it in person soon too. I'm glad you liked the card. The scalloped edge is a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Punch, the name of which escapes me. If I can figure it out, I'll let you know. Thanks again.
DeleteThankyou so much for visiting me Paula! Wow, I can't wait to see more pics of your scrappy space.....it looks fabulous from what I can see. Beautiful card, love the pretty colours and gorgeous flower cluster!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tracey. Thank you for your kind words regarding my card. I enjoyed making it. Also, thanks for your interest in seeing my craft room. I've just posted some pictures of the completed space. They aren't great, but I think you'll get the idea. Thanks again for your comments.
