Pictures of New Craft Room & Triplets

Wow, it's been a long time since I have posted to my blog.  You might have seen that I have been busy packing, unpacking and organizing in our new home.  My sister and I have finally bought a new home, with 2 living spaces and 4 bedrooms which gives us our own space when one is reading, or one is watching TV.  So nice to have our own space. 
Also, still within 15 minutes from the triplets and Colleen.
  We finally are all settled and have our Christmas decorations up.  I'm not very good at taking pictures of the Christmas decorations.
Nice to be back in my Craft room.

So nice to have 2 more DVD bookcases to put stamps set in.  Ramie found them for me on Offer Up.



Christmas Decorations with our little tree.  As we get older the tree gets smaller.

Color Hues #24


I am so excited to be the Guest Designer for Color Hues
It is such an honor.  Come join in the fun using these two colors.
The challenge is to use Turquoise & Coral
I used a technique by Jennifer McGuire called Floating Die Cut Frames and after an unsuccessful attempt was able to come up with this card.
I used Pinkfresh Infinite Blooms, stamp, stencil & die set. (See video above) I made 3 sets of them to fill up the page and then was able to die cut the oval.  I then popped it up for more dimension.  Then used some miscellaneous bling. I used PTI's Berry Sorbet & Gina K's Turquoise Sea




Thanks for stopping by.
