Super Hero

Hello all,
Today I have my card for MAG by the page challenge.  This week we are using Paper Doll Dress Up page 56.  This was a really fun one.  I couldn't decide what cut to use, so many great ones on this page.  I chose to make a banner card with the super hero symbol.  The letter on the symbols are from My Creative Time "Anyday Bingo & Crossword" set. The sentiment is from MPS. I hope you come over to MAG and join the fun!  

Craft Room Reveal Wall Four

Hello all,
Sorry it has taking me so long to post this.  I started at the beginning of the month and ending just before the month ended. I took the pictures a week ago and just haven't gotten around to uploading them.  As I said before I take almost thirty pictures just to get a few I like.  I like the purple to really come through.  This, by far, is the biggest wall and took the longest to figure out.  I think I changed were things would go no less than ten times.  I put so much blue painter tape on the wall that I peeled off lots of paint...lol  I had to paint over the wall one last time before I put the shelves up.  This is my favorite wall only because everything is right were I can see it and use it.

So, onto the wall!  This is how everything looks now.  

 I made the "Making Paper Fabulous" with different fonts from Wall decor and More. Great cart for vinyl decor. 

Here is a closer view of the two shelves. The two white shelves and the corner shelf is from Lowe's. The rails are from Ikea. The art is from my children and the frames are from Ikea. I wrapped the paper mache boxes in purple paper and I heat embossed stamps on it. The boxes hold different sized envelopes. The vase and flowers are from Ikea. I added lights from Ikea under the shelfs for more lighting.  I still need to get a desk light for better lighting when coloring. The thing on the corner shelf is a acrylic picture from, I need to add pictures. The vinyl saying is from "Wall decor and more" cart. 

This is a picture of a storage cube I made with foam board.  It holds my ProMarkers and the 9 copics I own. I have one more Ribba up holding ek success punches and a rail underneath holding MS punches. 

 One rail is holding a basket full of ribbon. The basket is from Ikea.  The other rail is holding all of my PTI mini sets. I will put another rail up behind the cricut soon. I still have so many more sets to get and I have no more room on that rail. I put the sets in small zip bags so I could get easier access. 

Here is the embellishment center from Michaels.  I added a rail to the bottom, it allows me to hang different stamps. As you can see it holds my glitter, buttons, flock, stickles, wood stamps and twine. I love having everything out in the open.

That's it for my room, I hope you enjoyed looking at my room.  I will add a page just for my craft room and links to each post. I do have a final giveaway for this Craft room reveal.  

The giveaway is a stamp set donated by the AWESOME Emma of "My Creative Time". The set is My favorite sayings.  What a great set, I think most crafters love these sayings.  I don't drink coffee but need my caffeine!  

So, for this giveaway you will need to upload a picture of your work area.  Wherever you craft; it could be a picture of your desk, dinning room table or your craft room. Like many of you I only had a small desk before we moved and before that I had my cricut on my kitchen table and a rubbermaid full of paper under the table. 

You have until next Thursday to post your pictures. 

Oct 31st

Hello all, 
I have a card today for two challenges.  I have been trying all week to get in on Simply Betty's 12 days of Halloween.  I finally have a card for one of the 12 challenges...LOL  I hope to have a few more before it's over.  First: Simply Betty  first day of halloween, you are to make a creepy owl in a tree. Second: PaperPlay use "Black" challenge. 
The Owl in the tree is a cut from Pumpkin carving cart.  The sentiment is from Joy's life "Halloween puns" set.  I think this card came out creepy good!  

Happy Fall

Hello all, 
I have another card today for three challenges.  I'm on a roll right now, I think having a room and everything visible really helps.  I have purple paper all over my desk right now.  I think I'm going purple crazy...Who makes a purple fall card(me). LOL  
First: Really Reasonable Ribbons "Fun 4 Fall" challenge.  Second: Fetch A Sketch challenge. 
Third: Celebrate the Occasion "Fall Theme" challenge.  
I had so much fun making this card.  I used an AWESOME stamp from Simply Betty called Brittany.  Isn't she just so cute?  I colored her with my ProMarkers and added some bling leaves.  I colored one of the leaves with a promarker to make it look purple.  The sentiment is from C.C designs.  I really love this card and hope you do too!

I have some super exciting news to share today.  A great blog friend of mind Cindy of "Cindy's Scraptastic Designs" is starting a digi stamp line.  I have LOVED Cindy's blog ever since I saw it!  When she would create projects and say she drew that or created that, I would be in AWE. I wish I could draw.  I'm so happy she is putting that talent to use and sharing it with the crafting world.  I am pleased/honored to be on her very first design team.  She has some great images coming out soon and AWESOME challenges starting in November.  So, be on the look out for all the great stuff to come from Cindy.

Andrew stamps.  I do however love this card.  I hope you do too!  

Happy Birthday to a great friend!

Wicked

Hello all, 
I have my MAG challenge by the page design team project.  For this challenge you are to use "Freshly Picked" cart page 52.  I used the sign from the page so I could make a halloween card.  The card is an embossed background from sizzix.  I colored it in with my promarkers and sponged the sky.  I added some stickles to the windows for a shimmer look.  The two little trick or treaters are from PBD "Guess Who" set.  I think this card came out so cool.  Come on over to MAG to see all the design teams projects and play along.  

Autumn Wishes

Hello all, 
I have a card for Peachy Keen Let's Face it "Leaves" challenge.  I made this at the last minute.  I really like the way it turned out.   I used a cute leave cut from "Holiday Cakes" cart.  I used Winter face Assortment for the nuts.  The sentiment is from PBD Bountiful Blessings set.  I don't know the name of the embossing folder I used.(sorry) I added some bling and some crinkled ribbon. 

Craft Room Reveal Wall Three

Hello all, 
Sorry I'm so late in posting this wall.  I have been so busy making cards for challenges and events that I didn't feel like editing all these pictures.  My camera just doesn't capture the true color of my room.  It is very purple, there are no hints of blue, teal or periwinkle, just true PURPLE.  So taking the pictures make me crazy when they come out with a tint of blue. I think I took 30 pictures of this one wall just to get 5 I like.  I will definitely be buying a better camera on Black Friday. 

So, onto the wall!  This is how everything looks now.  I showed you this wall before everything got put up.  I think you can see my blinds a little better.  This is where I will be making all of my cards, on this side of the room/desk.  

This is a closer view of the desk area.  I got both the rotating storage holders from Michaels.  The long white shelf is two pieces, one really long and a short one.  They are from Ikea, they are called Ribba.  They are a great value and quality.  I see a lot of people with these in their craft room, but they appear to be holding really light things. They can hold a lot more than people think and the punches don't weigh as much as you think.  The rail is also from Ikea it is called Bygel, they have a long one and a short one.  I am using the long one on this wall.  I want to fill it up with all those flowers from Michaels.  I just love the containers they're in.  The two purple containers are also from IKEA under the same name as the rail. 

The scissors were cut with my cricut using "Wall Decor and More" cart. I made this ribbon holder with left over materials I didn't use.  I just think I needed something right there and I have so much ribbon.  

Well that's it for this wall, I hope you like wall 3!  This is where I will be for the rest of the night making cards for challenges.  Ok, so today's giveaway is some beautiful shabby wrinkled ribbon donated by:

Prairie Bird Boutique. Her ribbons are just AMAZING and the best price out there.  I love all the colors she puts together.  She had this two tone purple set called "Faded Violet" I knew that was the set I wanted to giveaway.  I will also be making a purchase for myself.  The colors match my room PERFECTLY!  

So, for the giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment telling me your favorite organizing tool in your craft area.  You don't have to be a follower but how else will you know you won...LOL

It's Halloween

Hello all, 
I have a card today for Really Reasonable Ribbons challenge.  It's a Halloween Theme and you must use ribbon.  Also Crafty Sprouts color challenge.  You are to use Red, Black or Green.  Thanks to Erika for pointing out I could use this card.  I thought you had to use all three colors. 
I love this card.  I really wanted to make a cocktail halloween card.  I used a martini glass from "From My Kitchen" cart.  I made the sentiment on my computer.  I used the droopy goo punch by MS.  I tried to make the olive look like an eye and added some bling.  It was really easy to make.
