WOYWW 175

You might not believe this but the room is spotless!

I spent yesterday cleaning and reorganizing most things.  I can't say i did organize everything because i don't think i will ever be completely organised.

Last week while surfing the web i came across some very organized, beautiful rooms and was so inspired to get mine done.  It has only been over a year since it was repainted and redone, and i never finished it all then.

I'm quite happy with how it is looking right not, and with a few minor things to go i will be done for a while.

Here is my desk and notice how clean!  Wonder how long it will last!

I cut the wall words out myself with my xyron wishblade and put the rod up to hold up all the ribbon.  Finally took all my stamps in the brown bins and put them onto my paper stand for easier access.  I moved all my baskets to my desk as they are the most common things i use all the time.  Enjoy your look ground and if you like what you see follow along with the fabulous Julia.

WOYWW #142

Here we are again on Wednesday and i can hardly believe that it is almost the end of February.  Wow it has gone by so quick but looking forward to getting nicer weather here.  This rain has to STOP!!!
So as you can see i have a project on the go.  I am trying desperately to finish my daughters birthday invites.  But im just not getting too far.

 I also added photos of the shelf many of you have been commenting about.  My husband made it for me a couple years ago for my birthday..  It is filled with ribbon and flowers and wish i had 2 more shelves like it.






  Also included is my paper shelf.  It is organized but could be neater.  Just love it though!
If your new at this then head over to THE WONDERFUL JULIA and follow along on what is probably the worlds largest blog hop.
HAVE FUN PEEKING!

Never Ending Love

 Finally after trying to clean up what is suppose to be my craft room, i gave up and decided i wanted to make my Counterfeit Kit., that i named "Never Ending Love". I love looking at what we were to remake into our own kits.  Can't say lately that i have been ovelyr impressed with the kits, but it all changed when i saw these.  I wanted to do both kits but so far have only had time for one.  And the disappointing part is that i can' t even start using my kit till after valentines day because i plan on scrap booking my children's valentines events.
A couple of weeks ago i came across the tin man paper and fell in love with it.  Ultimately i think i got it because the Wizard of Oz was my favorite movie growing up.  So i knew i wanted to use it for my son so i just needed to come up with a couple other papers to go with it.  I just love red and black together!
I chose 8 papers and one paper that had everything on it.  The Maya road envelop I'm using on one of my daughter's pages to hold her valentines, hope it will do.  I didn't want a lot of embellishments  so just added some rhinestones, heart shaped doilies, three different kinds of ribbon along with the red pearl ribbon, some chipboard and quotes.
Oops, i forgot to add the letters.  I chose black letters and pink and red felt.  Can't wait to play with my kit!!!

First time using a sketch

I have for the first time decided to try using a sketch to create a layout.
I have been following creative scrappers and just love there sketches and the creative ideas that  everyone comes up with in there layouts.
I used sketch #193

I used a ballerina background paper (sorry can't remember who it is made by).  I used a pink doillie bought in a pack of 8 at Michael's.  I then embellished with stripped paper, and a soft pink rick rack ribbon.  I used a ballerina dress to embellish with flowers, rhinestones,and a reminisce sticker that says ballet class.  For my title i used a rhinestone word art from Michael's that says twinkle.  And finally, i put a photo of my daughter at her first ballet class when she was three..
I hope you enjoy.  Thanks for looking.

 

Valentine

So i have been in such a creative mood lately but just can't get off the couch till mid afternoon.
Wanted to do something today but couldn't think of something quick as i had no time.
So i came up with another valentine card this time for my hubby.
I used red card stock and embossed the black with an embossing folder.  The glitter ribbon banner i made from a piece of scrapbook paper and added it to the card.under the stamped couch image is an old gift card from starbucks. And finally i added the enjoy chipboard.
Not one of my favorites but think it will do.  Let me know what you think.
