New craft room

I took some time off last Friday to do a few things around the house.  The main project was to move ALL of my craft stuff to one room.  Most of my card making supplies was in the office room.  As crafts do, it grew and grew ultimately requiring more space. 

I also have knitting supplies and sewing items.  I felt it was time to create a dedicated area in the house.  Which meant moving some (HEAVY) exercise equipment out of a small bedroom into the rec room and moving all my other needs into that small bedroom.  I was able to do a lot of it myself, but honey THANKS for helping with that treadmill!

Here's the result:

Not too bad huh?  I was able to utilize the closet space also for lots of storage and organizing.  But I forgot to take a picture of it for you.

Also, since this room is upstairs hubby thought I might need a little heat.  He found this small space heater that does the job.  That way I don't have to heat up the whole upstairs area when I just in this one room.  It's really cute, looks like a small burning wood stove when I turn it on.  And the cat is fascinated with the flickering light on the wall behind it.

Simple cards

 I made some quick cards this week for my mother to use. These first

ones are 4x4 inches in size.  I made the envelopes

to go along with them by using then Envelope Punch Board.

 These next ones are 3x3 inches in size and again, made the

envelopes to go along.

Scary

 

Scary huh?

 

 

I was looking for something to do for some

Halloween treats.  I came up with these

by putting a couple of things together.

 

The boxes themselves can be found on these

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge from

Cricut.  The faces are off the Artiste cartridge from

Close to My Heart.

 

Happy Halloween.

 



Just a few more cards that I've managed to get done. 



 

I actually bought a Cuttlebug this week so I could add another

layer of texture to some cards.  I like it!

 

This one is based on a card I found over on Pinterest.  Very simple

but I love the butterflies.

 

 

Just a simple little card for fall.

 

Here's some more texture added to this one.

 

And I added texture to the left embellishment.

 

This one I wanted to use one of the background cuts one.

 

Just a 'girlie' birthday wish.

 

First time I've tried my hand at a swing card.  More of

a masculine touch birthday wish.

Crafting again

I took a short hiatus, ok, so maybe it was a little longer than 'short', but it was a

much needed rest.  I tried to find inspiration during this time and I found some

here and there.

 

I recently made a few cards for a ladies event at work.  It's hard to find

feminine things that are covered in camo to help with the event.  And as I'm sure

you will understand, it's nice to have girly things to choose from.

 

I made a packet of 5 cards, a variety that I thought might

be some good choices.  Those that have seen them so far

really liked them.  The event is not until the end of the month.

 

Here's one for sympathy:

 

 

This one is a birthday card:

 

Here's another birthday card:

Christmas Gifts I forgot to post

I made these little shadow boxes for Christmas gifts and kept meaning to post them.  I'm finally getting around to it.

 

 

 

 

Birthday gift

 I've been working on a birthday gift for my 92yr old mother. Trying to

give her something to look at and entertain her.
