It’s CASEd…

Mama bought a stamping magazine the other week and as she was going through it she looked at one of the cards in there and commented that it wouldn’t be hard to make that….so I did:

I should go and find the magazine, but I have no idea where it is….everything is such a turmoil with the craft room makeover I don’t even know where to start looking :) The colours are not very good in this picture, it’s Not Quite Navy, Rose Red, Kiwi Kiss and Whisper White. The blossoms and sentiment are from Artfully Asian, but I can’t remember which butterfly I used. The Hodgepodge hardware is Antique Brass and the ribbon is the lovely Kiwi/Vanilla double sided satin.

This was a really quick card to do actually…probably helped that I was just copying a picture, but I think it turned out quite pretty.

Speaking about the craft room mess…I have a sneak peak of the corner of the room just after the carpet was laid yesterday:

Here you can see the wall colours and the carpet. The room is at the front of the house which faces North, so it gets a lot of lovely sunshine and is very bright and airy.

Finally a quick Jethro photo :) Here he is playing silly dog games with Mama’s dog (the Pokey Little Puppy):

They have completely ruined that toy…but it doesn’t stop them playing with it! Sometimes I think Pokey should really be called *Destructo Dog*…he is incredibly good and tearing stuff to little pieces :)

Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I’m glad it’s Friday…even though I really don’t need a weekend as such, I always feel more relaxed on Saturdays than other days :) Hope you all have a great weekend,

Yesterday while browsing through the blogs on my Google reader, I came across this gorgeous card by Jennifer Buck. She had made her version for the Unity Hip Hop Thursday and I liked it so much I decided to CASE it. I hardly ever CASE other people's cards....I really like to try and come up with my own ideas, but this one was so cute I just had to do it! Plus it was a great way to show off some of my new Basic Grey DP....Eva this time:I've used the same layout, faux stitching and the use of the DP, but I've changed the colours and the design in the circle. As well as the Eva papers (seriously, how gorgeous are these papers?), I've used Pale Plum, Close to Cocoa and Gable Green CS....I've hardly ever used that green, but it was the best match I had for the green in the DP...go figure! The ribbon is (I think) some Cocoa narrow grosgrain. This isn't in the catty anymore, so I probably got it from Madonna....I have so much ribbon I can hardly remember where it came from...lol! The flowers and sentiment are rub-ons from the Eastern Elegance pack....love, love, love those rub-ons, and the *stitching* was done with my trusty white gel pen.

No stamping or bling....how did that happen?????

So, I'm off to do some weekend sketch challenges. Both Beate and Taylor have awesome sketches this week and I actually have a cupcake stamp to use on Taylor's....woohooooo...and Beate's is perfect for showing off some more of my DP collection! Hope you all have an awesome weekend.
