A quick update

It's been hard for me to focus on any crafting right now because my little cousin has been fighting off a rare form of cancer. I've been spending my time in a meditative state of prayer for her and my family but today will be a hard day. We'll all be at the hospital today for her big surgery, without this she has no chance but with it she has a 50/50 shot and if she can pull through she has a 50/50 shot of waking back up from the surgery too. Its going to be one long hard day for all of us since it will start at 7am and go to about 8pm.
Any prayers said for Delaney are appreciated, I hope I can have a happy update as I am trying to see her glass half full to perpetuate positive calming thoughts her way.

Take care,
B~

PSC: Guilded Floral Love

Another cute card courtesy of Project Scrap Cleanup. Unfortunatly I can't exactly say where all the elements on this card come from, the only one I know for sure is the SU! Stampin' Wheel I used with the Early Espresso flourish. "Love" stamp is a clear one that for some stupid reason when I first started I thew away the packaging for :/
Until next time,

PSC: Satin & Lace


It felt good to be able to sit down today and just create. I've loved seeing this type of ribbon on other's cards so I decided today would be the day for me to try it out, I had also picked up a bit of lace a few days back so I was excited to use that as well. 


What I used on this card:

  • Paper: Kraft (generic), Floral (unknown), Blue (DCWV: Be Mine)
  • Ribbon (unknown)
  • Flowers: Prima
  • Stamps: Baroque Motifs (SU!), Studio G
  • Ink: Frayed Burlap, Faded Jeans (TH Distress), Night of Navy (SU!)
  • Glue: Sticky Strip (SU!), Stampin' Dimensionals (SU!), ATG (3m)
Thanks for checking in,

PSC: Valentine Card

Even though I've made quite a few cards in my Project Scrap Cleanup, I've barely made a dent in my piles :(...this is going to take quite a bit of time to accomplish. I will press forward though and once I've dwindled it down I will start to kill off my neglected paper stacks so I can bring in some cute new papers to play with.


So for this card I used:

  • Tag (K&Co)
  • Stamps: Hero Arts mini alphabet, French Foliage (SU!)
  • Paper: White Cardstock (SU!), Green (DCWV stack), Flower (unknown paper sheet)
  • Ink: Early Espresso, Old Olive (SU!), Tattered Rose (TH Distress)
  • Marker: Daffodil Delight (SU!)
Have an inspired day,

Closet Curtain

So today was a day of lots of projects since my hubby had the day off. One of them was sewing the curtain cover for my closet with the fabric I showed off a couple posts ago with my revamped room. I'm pretty happy with the results and just had to share!
The lighting is the best at this late of night but you get the idea.  Now looking at this picture I think its time to find that tiny cross a new home. When we moved in there was nail left there and that was the first thing to come out of our first "bedroom" box we unpacked so it just went up and stayed there. I think I need to come up with something different for up there, maybe a cool Vinyl saying or something.




So thats pretty much it, just wanted to give a quick update to show off the use of that fabric, tomorrow my MIL will make our decorative shower curtain so I'll take pics of that to show some other cool cheap fixes we did today in there.


Later,
