(Not all are for vsn). roll eyes!!!!!! Well... The plan Did.Not.Happen. Like we planned...  At.All!!!! It's all good though... I'm getting up an hour earlier to get these cards cranked out!!!

FTTC216 Frame It

This week's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge was to "Frame It".  I grabbed this piece of dp out of my scrap box.  I'm still trying to make my way through it.  I'm not buying any 12 x 12 dp & have been putting all of the scraps from the 6x6 pads back with the pads.  It still doesn't seem like I'm making progress going through my scraps!

Stamps: Calendar Set 3 Flourishes
C/S: black, white, Wild Dandelion
DP: from the scrap box
copics, circle nestabilities, black pearls, black satin ribbon

We are working on our office.  This is what Phase 1 looks like....

This is where all of my stamp stuff has been moved.  It's on a 6 ft partial wall.  I had 15 feet before!  It is stacked higher than I normally would stack them, but it was either go up or out.  I decided to go up!  *wink*   The desk (phase 2) has been built, I just need to fill in the nail holes & touch up some paint.  I hope to have a picture soon.   We pulled up the carpet & laid wood floor.  It is sooooo much better on my allergies already.

Now, we are headed out for a 4-H competition.  I have my muck boots, just in case the field is as muddy as they say it is!

FTTC#215 Around the House

This week's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge was to use something found around the house.  I cleaned out my pantry & found this box of tea bags & they have expired.  Rather than toss it out, I decided to use one of the bags to tea stain my c/s for this challenge.  A side benefit was my cardstock smelled really nice for a little while.  You can still smell faint traces of vanilla & caramel if you sniff really hard.

Stamps: Sweet Nature, sentiment Strawberries Flourishes
C/S: Cherry Red, Black, white
DP: Black & Ivory Prints
Seeing Spots ef, copics, oval punches, black pearls

FTTC213 Hyacinths

I made this for this week's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge.  The challenge was to grab some thread.  Well... umm... anyone who knows me very well, knows I didn't do so well in Home Ec when it was the sewing semester.  In fact, just today I grabbed the liquid stitch to repair a hem instead of the needle & thread.  I did however pierce holes & used my white pen to add some faux stitching to my card.  The center of the hyacinths have white pearls for some extra jazz.

Stamps: Hyacinths Flourishes
C/S: olive, white,
DP: retired SU!
copics, white organdy ribbon, white pearls


Shhhhh... don't tell anyone.... but I've rearranged my schedule to include a designated time for stamping again.  Today, we had someone stop by the house because, "she knew we'd be home doing school."  (roll eyes!)  But, that's not an every day thing even in small town USA!!!  I hope to be here on a more regular basis.    We begin phase 2 on the office this week.   Kevin is LOVING pinterest & the internet.  (said with heavy sarcasm!!!  *grin*  )
