2 cards....

Hi Everyone,
A few  friends are celebrating their Birthdays soon, so this week I have been having fun creating cards with my Cricut. I used 'Art Philosophy' cartridge to cut the circle shape card and the flowers. The design on the flowers was created with the coordinating stamp set. 

The first card I am linking up with this weeks "Shabby Tea Room" challenge.
Ring around the Rosie
Create a Round card....add Pink , Green,  flourish and flowers.


I used stamps from Paper Sweeties to create the cute Banner.

Such a pretty inspiration photo


Same card.......different colours


This week has gone so fast.......I still have so many things to do, I need it to slow down!!
Hope you are enjoying your week

So nice of you to visit

Fun Saturday

Hello,
You would never know we are in the middle of Winter.......its like a Spring day!
 Just before I head outside I thought I'd share with you what I did yesterday.

I had so much fun playing with inks and paints at Paper Trendz doing a mixed media class with "Sue Smyth."

The class title is "Inner Goddess"
Its all about things that you love! Lots of trinkets  were supplied but I also bought along a few things that had meaning to me.

I really love how it turned out.......the colours match my new craft space perfectly!


The canvas is 12 x 12........can't wait to hang it on the wall.
 I managed to get into such a mess, Gesso on my face through my hair etc,
 I stayed cleaner painting
 my walls :)

So nice of you to visit......hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend!

Happy Creating

Paint and more Paint

Hey everyone,
I thought I'd show you some before and after pics of my craft space........I still have some things I want to paint but I'm nearly there!
My craft space is a multi purpose room you could say.....Freezer, Cross Trainer ( Just for show..lol) kids computer and other stuff. But I'm slowly taking it over! Its made up of old desks , cupboards, kitchen table, shelves etc. Most things were found at OP shops ....... I have a new kitchen table, so I managed to squeeze the old one into my room.
To make it all go I've painted the furniture and the walls.

Before
I've just realized a spelling mistake....Drawers not Draws.

Love this colour.


After.......Looking Pretty

Love these old cupboards I found at OP shops. They were both a dark wood. The Aqua matches my Ikea trolley.
 No more green walls.......some more shelving I painted and a cake stand for all my glitters. I collect vintage salt and pepper shakers to display it in.

Now you can see why I've had no time for anything else.
Happy Monday to you.......have a great week :)

Fabulous

Hi everyone,
There is not a lot of scrapping getting done here at the moment.......but tonight I made time to create this layout, using a fun sketch from Page Maps.

Another page for my trip album! All the details about these photos will be written on an adjoining pocket style page. 

The photos were taken in 'Victoria Secret' Union Square...San Francisco. We don't have Victoria Secret close by so Tori had quite the spend up!
 The heart card at the top of my layout  is a gift card.



Hope you are enjoying a great weekend........so nice of you to stop by

Road Trip

Hello,
It seems like forever since I've posted any thing.........I have been so busy Painting my craft room. The walls are done, now I'm painting the furniture. I will have some before and after pics to show you soon.
But until then......
Its time to share the layout I created for the new Die cut challenge at "Stuck on U Sketches"

Going Somewhere
Think anything that can go!..........Vehicles, boats, luggage, mail etc.


Here we are travelling on the interstate 40 ... from Grand-canyon to LA. 
I cut the car from a cricut cartridge.......and do you think I can remember which one?? I used a rub on to write "Are we there Yet"
It was a seven hour drive, we had lots and lots of fun!

Be sure to stop by Sous.......the design team have some fabulous creations to show you.

So nice of you to visit....have a great day :)
