Well I know its FRIDAY, but I’m getting my new room ready this weekend (and today we have a day planned on a boat for a day at the Lake) so figured I’d better post early!
I got my ceiling/trim/walls all painted!!! Now I need to get Jason to put the trim around the window, and fix the back wall (still need sheet rock) and I will put together my cabinets!
The other 2 electrical outlets he will do while I pack it all in!
I feel like Im a slave driver missing her whip! LOL! I just want to go,go, go!! Poor Jason he comes home and works on it every night after dinner till 10:30 at night! Now THAT my friends is LOVE! I haven’t even said anything, he just knows ME! Im so lucky. I LOVE the SKY BLUE color on my walls. I can definitely see how it will help my creativity.
My HOPE is for Sunday-but realistically, may be during the week. Depends on how much “I” can help.
Any time my room is clean and well organized ideas just pour out of me. Now I feel a bit in a rut. Too much “clutter” in the process.
So I kept this week’s sketch SIMPLE! I also feel many people don’t layer images at the bottom-ever really. It can be very pretty. So I hope you will try it.
I was inspired by my Simple Sunflower card.
Oh yes back to the sketch! Sorry about my insane ramble!
I used the new Paper Trey set called Text Boxed for th e flower. It was stamped in CRAFT black ink, then embossed with iridescent ice embossing powder.
I colored the image with my twinkling h2o’s (love them). This BLING is simple but impacts the card alot. Stamped the smaller sunflower image in the center with black, then added a bling to the center.
Tied around some wirde organdy ribbon, anf then stamped my sentiment from Green Thumb.
I used my Martha Stewart cardstock on this. Just can’t stop using her stuff either.
Enjoy the weekend.

Beautiful card!
Oh so pretty – and I have more cards to make…I shall add your sketch to the list!
I’ve got everything crossed that you can get into your room Sunday 🙂 Hope you had a great trip today!
This is so very pretty. I am going to try this layout. If you create better in an organized space, I can’t wait to see what you do once you are in that new room!
Beautiful work!!

I like this sketch a lot, too! Here’s a girly baby card I made using it. I had to change the proportions a little bit to get my images to fit . . .
