Paper Cutz Challenge Entry-The sky's the limit!!

Just a quick post and pic of a card that I am entering  into the 100th challenge over at Paper Cutz Challenge blog. Anything you would find in the sky!!:) I went to a Stampin' Up class today and am so wiped out!!  I just received my new Fancy Frames cart in the mail today!! Can't wait to try it out tomm.!! Good night!! {{hugs}}

Paper Layerz Penguin card!!!

I designed this card for the BBTB2 weekly challenge. It required you to use the Penguin with umbrella cut from Jolly Holidays. I used my FAVORITE cardstock Paper Layerz to show you all how AWESOME it is! I love how each 12x12 sheet has several different coordinating colors (4x4 squares) all on one sheet so you can complete a full layered image!! It is so easy to plan your image on Cricut Craft Room/Gypsy when you don't have to cut up a bunch of different paper and try and place them in the right spot on your mat. (I included a picture of the paper too.) I also used my favorite Cricut projects cart Flower Shoppe!! LOVE IT!!

Thanx for stopping by!! {{hugs}}

"Is anyone in there??"

I just had to share this pic with all of you!! I converted the shed into my own little crafting space so I (and all my supplies) are not in everyone else's way and to have some "me" quiet time. Well, needless to say my son, DH, my son's friends, and extended family keep finding their way in!! I feel blessed that they want to spend time with me but SERIOUSLY!!?? LOL!! Today, I kept hearing something at the door and when I went to step out of my little "craft shed" this is what I almost tripped over:

My rooster (BLUE) and hens. And even the neighbors Guinnea's!!! Can't a girl craft in peace??!! LOL!! Just thought I would share!!:)

Tim Holtz Inspired Tag!!

My Cricut Expression,Imagine, & Gypsy are finally all set up and updated!! Whew!! While I was waiting/updating I made a Tim Holtz inspired tag. I love Tim Holtz!

I forgot how much I like his stuff!! Well, hope everyone is having a pleasant Saturday!! I am hoping to try out my new Cricut carts today!! {{HUGS}}

Sweet Thoughts Card!!

Just wanted to post a card I made for a Thank You card & enter into the Club Ruby Challenge!!

I am sure having a hard time locating all my supplies now that I have "organized" them!! LOL!! Hope you are having a terrific Friday!! {hugs!!}

Pic's of the "Craft Shed"!!

I had the hardest time getting a good angle!! The area is only about 9x9!! I have more organizing to do so pardon the messy shelves!! I still have to hang more shelves etc.!!

So, here is the left side of the room!! LoL!!

And the right side:

And one last pic of the shelving unit my Dad & Mom had a friend build for me to store all my paper!!!:

Thought I should post a pic of the outside. We added the door and windows. (still thinking of adding a little picket fence!!):

Thanx for stopping by!! {hugs}!!

So HAPPY to be back!!:)))

I know it has been a while since I have been on here!! I am happy to say I don't plan (fingers crossed) on being away from my crafting for that long again!! I missed it sooo much!! I had decided in the beginning of the summer to convert an old shed to my new crafting room!! Well I began the renovation and that same week we had a HUGE forest fire (Wallow Fire)!!

This pic is of the sun trying to shine through the smoke and ash that was in the air. It was taken at about 7:45am!! It was like this every morning and would lighten up as the day went on.

This was taken from our front porch when the fire was still approx. 6 miles away!! That is smoke not the clouds!!:/


And by the end of that first week we were forced to evacuate. I never felt that our home was in danger of burning down, however, we were close enough that the air quality was not good!! We only live 1 1/2 miles (appx.) from where the forest tree line was burning!! We were fortunate to be able to stay with my in-laws in Phoenix for the week of the evacuation. As soon as the order was lifted and we were ready to come home, our vehicle decided to break down. So we were "stuck" for another 1 1/2 weeks so the dealership could fix it!! I am thankful it happened when it did, as our warranty is up in another 4000 miles!! That would have been one PRICEY repair!! When we did finally return my AWESOME parents and I worked non-stop to complete the "craft shed"!! I am SOOOOOO BLESSED to have such caring parents!! It was such a fun little journey/learning experience (we are DEFINATELY not experienced construction workers)!!!! I am proud of us though!! My Dad and I did all the electrical (without getting electrocuted) and he built the little front porch!! My Mom and I did all the insulating, drywall, texture, painting, flooring, cabinets, and finish work! Whew!! I don't want to bore you so I will be posting some pic's of my new "craft room" after I get it all organized!! And then back to crafting!!:) God Bless!!
