Journal Stamp Card

My BFF, Tracy gave me the journal stamp. I used it with several other stamps. I love how the card turned out. No patterned paper just stamps. The flower was punched with red scraps.

This card was inspired by a card I saw in January 2008 (Volumne 3 Issue 1) of Cards magazine... page 143. The original designer is Diane DiTullio.

Paper Crafts Message Board Challenge

I love the paper crafts magazine gallery and message board. There are so many creative ladies over there. I created this today for the pink and green challenge.

My Craft Room

It is official.... I have a craft space. The concrete floor is perfect.... messes sweep up and my dogs can craft with me.
I don't have the curtains done yet. The fabric is in the wash. I spent most my budget... so I plan on using fabric I purchased previously for something. Who knows what...
DH made the counter top space with the sewing machine, the cabinet, and the awesome workstation. The table the computer sits on is a table we had and I swiped.
Because of a tight budget the construction is mostly plywood and 2x4s. It works well for me because then I won't be afraid to mess it up.
The workstation is perfect for cutting fabric. I have a bar stool I sit on while using it. It is on casters so I can pull it out to get to all sides.
I'll try to post once I get the curtains finished. Hopefully, this afternoon.

Full Cabinet

Here is my cabinet full of goodies.

My cabinet

DH built me this cabinet. I can't wait to put my stuff in it. The side racks are for my loose stamps. There are also three paper holders. The bottom shelve is big enough to hold a big tube or 12x12 plastic drawers.

I am soooooooo happy with it. He did an amazing job.

Tractor Diaper Bag

The basement is still somewhat a mess but I had to finish this diaper bag for a co-worker. She had the baby early. Baby and Mommy are doing fine.

I think the bag turned out sooooo cute. A local embroidery shop did the name on some fabric and I stitched it into the bag.

I hope she likes it.

WOW....keeping up with it all....

I can't seem to be able to keep up with it all. What have I been up to...? Currently, we are trying to redo the basement. This has become quite the job. The budget is $1000... keep your fingers crossed. Thank goodness DH is very handy. I have pics but the digital camera batteries have died. RRRRRRRR. I hope to post basement pics and much more tomorrow. Stay tuned and Happy Crafting!!!
