Good evening blogland,
Bit of a pause on colouring / crafting / card making there while the spare room slowly turned into a craft room. There is still a lot of (other people's) junk that needs clearing out - and some furniture - but I now have half of the room and am pretty much set up to craft. I just need to tweak a bit (will probably be tweaking forever) and then live with it and see if I've put things in the right place.
Finally got to sit and make a card over the weekend and a couple more today. The one at the weekend was for a wedding (we went to the evening do) and then today's were for fun and a DT.
I'm sharing the 'for fun' one here:
Supplies used:
Digital stamp:
Lili of the Valley - Oliver texting
coloured with Copics
Rubber stamp:
My Favorite Things - All the Encouragement
Dies:
Un-branded stitched rectangle
Anything else:
Lawn Fawn - brick stencil
Distress Ink
Black card to make (slimline) DL card blank
I have taken pictures of the craft room progress and I will share them very soon. Don't expect one of those wonderful rooms you see on Pinterest / YouTube though - I don't have an IKEA anywhere near me and all my things are either 2nd hand or well old! It is my craft room though, I've never had one before and I'm more than happy!
One last thing before I go, I'm acutely aware of what's going on in the world and can't believe that it can happen in the 21st century. I feel so bad for the poor people caught up in the machinations of what appears to be egomaniacal leader. However, I'm going to try and keep the blog free of too much world news as I'm finding it all rather scary.
Signing off for now,
See you soon,
Sarah

Great card and my fave images! My craft room is the smallest bedroom and I live near an Ikea but none of it in mine LOL..when hubby was able he bought some worktop and put it all around the room so I had space for machines..printers etc and all underneath space for my drawers...so I was very happy with it..you will love yours too Sarah lots of hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteThe CAS design and brick stencil background work perfectly with this great image, Sarah and your colouring is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am lucky enough to have a craft room (it's supposed to be a dining room as well, but shhh, don't tell anyone?!) but still manage to only have a 4 inch square to work in! I hope you enjoy your new crafty space...
