MUSE #284

HI there back again and  I know the best way to get back in to "it" is to join in a few challenges! I have SO SO SO many products that I haven't even opened let alone used.... embarrassing I know.  I vow to USE them all by this time next year! I am ashamed  to say it will probably be a year for me to work  my way through the stash...lola
Joining in with the MUSE #284 challenge this week with Michelle W as the guest designer and how gorgeous is her card! I am a sucker for B&W stripes!

Found this gorgeous floral from Wplus9 and I had a play at watercolour. I like the abstract flick of colour and I finished off with a lick of glossy accents.

thanks for popping in :)

CAS(E) this sketch #290

I spent a whole day in my happy place (aka my craft room) the first couple of hours was really just grinning stupidly lol.....
I had Outlander on my laptop, products on hand and made 14 cards!!! A couple of birthday cards, thank you cards (for Patrick to send out) and a few friends doing in tough atm so some happy mail coming there way.  I used to think making cards was a waste of time these days and thought I'll do something else, more scrapbooking maybe BUT the absolute happy feeling I got the other day when I went to my mailbox and there was a little pink envelope and no DL white BILLS I was so happy!
so I don't care what people say, I'll keep making and sending my cards (If you get a made card from me...I love you I don't waste them on just anyone...)

ANYWAY.... I'm joining in on CAS(E) #290 that sketch this week. I love the concord and 9th Birthday stacks stamp set and I have made so many cards with this set and as you remember I LOVE the luxe inks too... so juicy and great coverage!

Well hello there!

Hello and apologies for my absence!!  lots happening in my neck of the woods!  We are renovating and YES the craft room is FINISHED!! I have had Patrick's 21st and all the planning that goes along with it (party was here) as well as working so not much time to do anything!

It was such a buzz to get the craft room finished and the carpet in.  When I was unpacking, it was like Christmas finding all my supplies that have been packed away for so long.

Hubby will be putting my powerpoints in once I have a play and I decide on the exact placement.  Mark also is going to put LED lights along the inside of the bottom shelf.  I am so impressed with his attention to detail and the ideas he is coming up with!!!  I am still "decorating" and I don't want too much out or for it to look too cluttered.  I have a massive storage cupboard just to the right of the bottom photo and everything is easily accessible.  I do have my most used products right on hand so that suits me for the moment.  

My baby Patrick turned 21 and I'm quietly patting myself on the back getting 4 kids to 21!  It was a fun night and we finally got to bed around 4.30 am and Patrick has sworn off alcohol (for the time being)

Things are back to normal here now and we just have the other boy's birthday's (September is such a busy and expensive time )

School holidays next week so I'll be in my happy place for the duration :)

Now can everyone barrack for the Demons (MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB) to win on Saturday xxx 

Thanks for that
