In The Garden

Hi!

Hope everyone is doing fine!

I am very happy to report I finished washing walls on the main floor today.  I will be heading downstairs next week to start washing down there.

If it ever warms up I will be ready to start painting!!!!

I did find the time today to make a card.  I work very hard for craft breaks…ROFL!!!  Anyway here is a card I made using an image from a set called “ In The Garden” from Clip Art Fairy.

Isn’t she cute!!!!

Have a wonderful evening!

Challenge Day at Sassycheryls!

Hi everyone……I”M BACK IN MY CRAFT ROOM!!!!!!!!!  Yipppeeee!!!!  But if you had been here last week you would have had a good chuckle!
I was sooooo needing to make a card during the floor reno.  It was crazy.  I went to my craft room to see if there was something to at least color ( all my paper and embellishments were stacked in the basement).  Well I saw that our challenge this week is to make a card having to do with nature.  So I colored a new image then figured how hard could it be to find what I need downstairs right?  WRONG!!!!!!!  I had to crawl over stuff to find the right carts with what I needed and it took many trips.  Finally I descided to keep the card simple because I could not locate what I wanted.

Here is my card-



Here is a side view.  I printed the image twice so I could cut out the girl leaning on the post.



What I could locate to make my card-

• Sassycheryls Digital Image- The Thinking Spot
• Paper is all SU, white, chocolate chip, mellow moss.
• Copic markers, leaf punch, dimensionals, Rolled flowers I had premade.

Now head over to the Sassycheryl Challenge Blog  to see what my sassy Sisters have made!
Have a great week everyone!

New Flooring- Day 2

Well another day and one more step closer to the end!

Today the lino went in to the kitchen, bathroom and back entry.  All that is left to do is some caulking and the toe kicks in the kitchen and bathroom.  Tomorrow they will be starting the wood floors!!!

I will sure be glad when I get the bottom cabinets done!!!!!

There is all the flooring going into the rest of the house!

Last but very important…..the “THRONE” room!

Stay tuned for another instalment tomorrow night at this time.

It’s Challenge Day!

Hi everyone!

Did you have fun last week on our Blog Hop??  I know we sure did!  It is hard to believe we have been doing this for a year!  I guess it is true…..”time flys when you are having fun!”

This weeks challenge is to make a card using the colors pink and white.  MY TWO FAVORITE COLORS!!!!!!

Here is my card-



What I used on my card-

• Sassycheryl Digital Image- Sassy Birthday
• SU paper- white, pretty in pink, Dp( sorry my paper is all packed away for floor installation)
• Spellbinder dies, Copic Markers, silk flowers, pearl pick, CB die, dimensionals, pearls.

Thanks for dropping in.  Head over to our Sassycheryls Challenge Blog to see the cards made by my team mates.  You should also check out the store for great new digital images!!!!!!

New Floors Day 1

Well today starts the installation of my new floors that I have been dreaming off for the last 3 years!

Today the sub floor was installed in the kitchen, back entry and bathroom.  The lino is here and is warming up ( it is –29 today!).  It will be installed tomorrow.

Here is a picture.

Now to explain something……I am kind of working in the wrong order but it can’t be helped. LOL!  I will be sanding and refinishing the bottom cabinets to match the uppers.  I tried the idea of having the upper cabinets a different color from the bottoms (I watch too many decorating shows!!).  I have lived with it for 2 years and have never been happy with it so I am going to have all white!!!

I also pulled out the railing that divided the dinning area from the front room one day when Harry was at work.  You can see the patching on the end of the wall in the center.  Needless to say he was “very” surprised when he got home.LOL!

Stay tuned for day 2……….

From Rags to Roses…….

Good morning everyone!  As you are reading this I am at work.  Yep…..seems like I just can’t stay home if I want to buy all that fun crafty stuff!!!!!! LOL!

On one of my days off I made drapes for the dinning room.  While cleaning up the scraps I had a thought…….could I make rolled roses with the scraps?????   So I tried and I did!!

Here is my card-



For my flowers, I ripped the white cotton in about one inch strips.  I punched a 1 1/2 inch circle.  I used tacky glue on the circle and started from the center twisting the cotton strip as I went.  When I got to the end I simply tucked under the roll.  I finished it off with a pearl in the center! I wrapped  a piece of my cotton around the card and then mounted the flowers on top with glue dots.
Well thanks for stopping by!

Sassycheryls Recycle Challenge

Hi everyone!  Well we have had  wonderful mild temperatures here in  Saskatchewan Canada!  I am so looking forward to spring!!!!

Spring for me means washing walls and giving our home a good going over as far as things we either don’t need or don’t want anymore.  That means packing those things up and donating to different charities.

Our challenge today is along the same theme….recycle.  I got looking around and found some zippers left over from my sewing days and that’s what I used on my card.  I made the card clean and simple to show off the zipper……what do you think?

• Sassycheryl digital image- Speak no Evil
• SU paper, bashful blue, white and K&Company Dp.
• SU mini clip, zipper, round punches, Copic markers, and dimensionals.

Now stop by our Sassycheryls Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team have recycled for their creations.
Have a great week!

Happy Valentines Day!!!!
