I'm late, I'm late...

Isn't that the beginning of a winnie the poo story or something?

Anyway, it's been a super hectic few days--friends popping by to visit unexpectedly (which is a good thing), planning a vacation (another good thing), planning what to do with some out of town family arriving next week (another good thing), getting my mom set up with a new phone (this took a lot longer than you would expect LOL!) and somehow I forgot all about blogging and craft stuff for a few days (?!?).  Anyway, I'm late for work now, but still taking the time to post about two items.

First of all, at Shopping our Stash this week we are continuing the challenge to get you to show us your work space and/or stash, so get your camera out and post some pics.  Mine are below.  Play along with us, I love seeing everyone else's space!

Also, I've got another fabulous card for you using Heartfelt Creations stamps, and the HC blog today is featuring an absolute garden of creativity, to get you in a summer mood (and hopefully a crafty one too!).

Have a great day!!


My stash photo's:

My ribbon storage, which hubby built for me with products from the hardware store.  On the top are bars that the rolls go on, and then there is a line of cord that I use clothes pins to hold packages of ribbon.  Below you can see my drawer organizers that are a bit larger than 12 x 12 and about 2 inches deep--I use these to store my 12x12 paper as well as my wood mounted stamps.  The boxes hold my loose ribbon and lace.  You can also see the TV cable running across everything....one day soon hopefully hubby will use some hooks or something to run it along the ceiling.  I like to have nature shows playing on the TV while I craft.


 My paper storage for lettersize card stock, using a paper organizer from Home Depot.  The blue sheet acts as a curtain so the edges of the paper doesn't get discoloured by the light (which happens when you hoard card stock for a long time without moving it enough LOL!).


And here is something crafty I made in my (messy) craft room using the new Bella Rose stamps from Heartfelt Creations:

Products Used on This Card
Other: Oval punch, scallop oval punch, distress ink, pearl edging from fabric store, white gel pen Copics: B97, B95, B23, B21, YR14, V15, V17, E29, R35, R46, R59, G21, YG63, G99, Y26, E44
Card size is standard 5.5 by 4.25. Stamp background image and crop to fit card.  Colour in with copics, and add accents with white gel pen.  Add colour to background using Copic airbrush.  Add ink along edges of image.  Adhere to mat/border cardstock and then adhere that to base.  Add pearl edging and sentiment as shown.

  14. I know what you mean about time flying like crazy... I had to giggle about you setting up your mom's phone. My mom only has a cell - had it for 10+ years, but she still can't send an SMS - even thought we wrote down step by step instructions for her ;)
    Love your paper storage - didn't know Home Depot carries something like that!
