Woyww

Happy WOYWW. Last week after Wed my space has been once again moved out of the room to paint the floors. We had white floors but they started to look too dirty and show to much of everything that we settled on a blue grey that is just wonderful but it has caused a lot of moving things from one space to the next just to paint. So I've mostly just organized some of my stash to make it more compact, and tidy the DH finds the room with our computer and my Crafty disaster corner always unsightly. To be honest it's tough to make your craft supplies look good. I want to get a little drawer unit to hide away most of my stuff and remove some of the boxes but he thinks if you get more storage you'll get more stuff. ... maybe lol.

Room Freshly Painted  and Craft all moved off

Me moved off to another room for a few days 

that was just painted and empty at the moment

What showed up in my mailbox on Monday a box filled with 

treats from Lisa WOW so much and there was some H20 paints 

those I love and all the colours she sent I didn't own AMAZING!!!

they got put away quickly

So Now I'm back in my space and everything is mostly back 

along with my reorganizing yet again trying to tidy it up some more

We put the computer table right beside my crafty space and now the room feels really

open which is nice. I haven't done much crafting mostly just moving and I can't help myself I love making storage to tuck things away and try to keep it neat looking 

but it is a struggle lol there is so much wonderful stuff out there but I do try to behave :)

Happy Woyww 

and thanks for visiting

Fairy Hello

Here's a card I made for Judy we been swapping back and forth so I'm hoping she likes orange seeing I colour my images first then work the card around them mostly. I love this light orange and when colouring it on the dress it gives it a really kewl texture to it when you push the ink around. 

Which is using a lighter colour over top a darker colour to push the ink about.

Happy Woyww everyone. 

Here's my space at the moment I did start sewing that pink ribbon together and it it puckers a lot together and I know that if I make it into a purse it will need a liner that it's sewn to as the ribbon pulls apart easier then I hoped and it puckers alot I think I'm going to show off the part where the seams are as it looks pretty wild looking but it's going to take longer then I'd like to make but eventually it will get done as I'm not in a rush for it plus I have no idea what it will look like... It will surprise me when finished lol . I just sew and see where it takes me I don't plan anything when sewing. Pattern what's that !!! I can hear some of you that sew just laughing at me lol 

I did make one quick card for a friend we dropped in on who just got a new place it's a nice little condo that works well for him really great high ceilings so it feels really open. 

See I think the ruffled side looks better then the smooth side 

So I'm off to make some new digi and pop into blogs 

Thanks for popping in 

hugs Nikki 

Bookmark

I'm still under the weather a little but I'm getting better,so it's given me sometime to play in and create and not have to worry about going out anywhere which is so relaxing.

I read a lot, also I love to leave bookmarks in books when I give them to friends it's just a fun little thing to do.

I've been playing around with oranges lately and I'm really loving it I even managed to get a little reflection in her glasses,

Today I'm Finally able to share a Mini Pocket card for Judy it's a 4 by 4 card but if you mail it lays flat and open then it's perfect for a standard letter mail envelope which I own WAY to many of so I see a lot more of these cards being made.  It is a CAS flat card that won't get hung up in the post and it's light enough that I can add in some goodies without going over the cost of a stamp, which I love to do !!!

Now I added in a little pocket in the inside to slip in a little note all across so now this card is able to be reused for someone else when needed in a pinch :)

WOYWW

Hello All Happy WOYWW Here's my little space for you all to snoop around with I didn't do to much this week we had a few others things to do and I can honestly say my desk looked the same as last week ... UGG how Lame I have been updating Limited Runs with it's digi's and that takes a long time I found out but it has to be done every once in a blue moon and painted two of our brass chandeliers from boring brass to shabby chik. They look 1000 times better.

  So I thought I'd grab my boxes and open them up for you all to snoop in and see how I store my little things that are at my reach ... I know it can be a little to organized for some people but it works for me lol 

The Washi Tape Box I made with some card stock along with the one that holds my flowers and odds and ends it's just an oatmeal box with two drawers that pull out to keep all that stuff neat and tidy 

All Labeled up :)

I'll try my best to visit as many people as I can but I'm a little under the weather this week as I caught some silly cold that is giving me the sniffles and it's the lack of sleep that's kicking my butt at the moment .. Blah it shouldn't last too long or eventually I'll just pass out on my own most likely watching a movie see the title ..zzzz.... see the credits. Great movie??? watch next night lol
Have a good one
hugs Nikki

Personalized Bookmark

This week you MUST have a project that is personalized for someone

We have 2 sponsors at Incy Wincy , Oddball Art and Fabrika Fantasy

Now I've personalized this by putting on a Monogram

"M" for the person's name who this belongs to

Now this is a different way to personalize I've used a monogram for the munchkin I sent this off to and I was playing around with different things when I made this and some super old paper but I love browns so it an be hard to use them up but bookmarks are all about using up those small left over bits and this one it made up of some bits

WOYWW

Happy Woyww  everyone today I was greeted with some happy Mail from Judy we did a little card swap a while ago and this is the card she sent me a lovely hand painted elf he's fantastic along with a few goodies to play with.  I've been playing with my markers again colouring up a bunch of images with not a thought to how I'll use them ... but that's how I work lol 

Regarding my markers I've been adding in little labels to the edges of them seeing the name always erases off and the lids aren't really true to the colours inside so that's been a slow process but it was really bugging me. I own a lot of different types of markers (there is only 1 copic in the whole bunch) I'd have to say the ones that I'm loving the most right now is my pro markers and the ones that annoy me the most is my spectrum they have good colours if you can get the lids off, they aren't easy to pull off and when you do sometimes take the whole marker nib area with it leaving the center of the marker exposed. They need to fix that design flaw. K  I'm done with that rant lol

(the Picture up is my Grandma in her fancy wheels)

That pile of pink May Arts ribbon I'm thinking of trying to sew that all together ? maybe

Bookmark 2

Holley is having a month long celebration and she asked us to create some sweet bookmarks 

with this image and here's my 2nd one 

the Flower is made from my friend Tinka (thanks!!) she sent me some beautiful crochet works and I have been hoarding them for something special and this was just the right colour and size I added in the button and used the extra string she left to attach it to the book mark it's perfect!!!

I embossed the bottom paper seeing it was a little bland and needed something to go with the flower
