OH MY GOODNESS... can you believe this mess?? I honestly can't!!
First off, I went on a creating spree last week and then...l didn't clean. And THEN, I decided to pull everything out of my stamp closet and organize -- while the place was a pit. Does that make any sense what-so-ever???? This is exactly how it looks at this very minute. Hopefully this weekend my organizing will be done and I might even have an "after" shot!!! I decided I needed a leaner, meaner stamp room. One that had a bit more organization! :-)I will say, I have FOUR -- maybe FIVE boxes of stamps that will soon be on my SALE link here on my blog. I decided that there are some stamps that need more love than I can give! :-)
Remember how I was telling you earlier this week that I have been playing with Impression Obsession's new Cover-A-Card backgrounds? Well, I have another super dooper easy peasy card! Wanna see???
This card couldn't be any easier! I stamped the Cover-A-Card Tapestry background onto a piece of white cardstock and then used a Heart Nestabilities die to cut the image out. Use a Swiss Dot Cuttlebug Embossing Folder to emboss part of a mat - leaving about an inch at the bottom for my "Love" sentiment. Add a fun punched border courtesy of EK Success. The ribbon actually was a saved piece from a wrapped package I recieved! I thought that silver ribbon was far too pretty to throw away! Mat it all up and add some fun pearl accents to the heart and... voila... DONE! A perfect card for a "silver" anniversary!Hope your week is shaping up nicely! I'll be back tomorrow for another Twice is Nice Friday -- two fun challenges -- just for YOU!
See you then!
just gorgeous!

Oh, Messy Missy Julie. Maybe this will inspire me to clean and organize. At least it gives me something new to contemplate. PRETTY card! Way to turn that trash into a treasure, too.

ReplyDeleteHey DD we all have messy stamp rooms at one time or another and my time is NOW also. But you know when it's clean it is a beautiful spot to retreat to so hang in there.

ReplyDeleteI also love that you shared your mess -- At first I was confused- cause I was like -how did Julie get a pic of MY room????
I love your card, it's just gorgeous!!! And I'm glad that I'm not the only one with a messy craft room at the moment... although I'm sure yours will get organized and cleaned up sooner than mine. LOL I can't wait to see the "after" shot.
