Setting Myself A Target!

 Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world!

Thanks for joining me today!

Something a little different today, there's no card.

I am going to start and try and make some more room in my craftroom today.  It's getting to the stage where I need to keep moving things around to get to what I want to to use with lots of things just lying about and I can't stand to see a lot of clutter.

My hubby say's I'm OCD which to a certain degree I agree with him, but in this room the clutter gets ahead of me and it's now time to try and do something about it. Hopefully before I buy new goodies. The new mini catalogue is about to come out.

1. where possible put dies into the corresponding stamp set cases. (i'm hoping to empty a filing cabinet drawer doing this)
2. put some things on facebook to sell. (for me this is a slow process)
3. Put some of the things for sale into the empty cabinet, thus getting them off the table top.
4. Dispose of 75% of non stamping product. (donate this stuff to my grand children, there are at least two of them will make very good use of it all)
5. Worst of all, throw some things away! Mind you there's a card shop in our village and I think the proprietor does card classes for children so I might see if she would like some of the non su stuff).

All of these plus a couple of more rows of stamp sets, and of course the filing cabinet full of dies are now retired and need a new home.

The stuff on the shelves behind the couch is hubby's and his side is an even worse mess than mine. I try not to look on that side of the room very often. It's definitely a room split in two. 

Will be back again soon with more cards, in the meantime take care and have a great day.

Piece of Cake meets Power of Hope

Power of Hope meets Piece of Cake

Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world.

Made this card some time ago for my niece, so it's my old style of layout!

 I have to be able to tell hubby I've used every stamp set at least once

Colours: Petal Pink 2 pieces 10 x 14 (1st layer), 9.5 x 7 (scallop oval),Whisper White 3 pieces 21 x 14.5 scored at 10.5 (card base), 9 x 6.5 (stitched oval), 2 x 7 (sentiment).
DSP: Parisian Blossoms 4 x 14 (2nd layer).

All measurements are in centimetres.
(cs) = card stock, (dsp) = designer series paper,  (ef ) = embossing folder, (ss) = stamp set, * = retired, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest.

• Emboss the larger piece of  petal pink (cs) using the parisian flourish (ef).
• Now adhere the *parisian blossoms (dsp) down the left hand side of the embossed layer using liquid glue.
• Add some of the petal pink metallic edged ribbon along the join of these two pieces, (I used sellotape at the back to do this), then make a small bow and attach it towards the top using a glue dot.
• This is then adhered to the base card using liquid glue.
• Stamp both the sentiment from the *piece of cake (ss) and the lady from the *power of hope (ss) on their respective pieces of whisper white (cs) using memento black ink.
• Colour the lady using petal pink blends.
• Die cut the sentiment using the ornate frames dies, the lady with the stitched shapes dies oval (4) and the petal pink (cs) with the layering ovals dies scallop (7) .
• Adhere the two ovals together using liquid glue.
• Attach the ovals and the sentiment to the base card using dimensional pads.
• Arrange some champagne rhinestones around the lady to add some dimension.

Will be back again soon with more cards!
