I used the Etched Crocus Stems from Simon Says and I apologize to flower lovers. I googled and I know that crocuses are virtually always purple but I already had all of the blue papers cut and I didn't think the purple popped liked I wanted it to. Since I don't know flowers - this looked perfectly fine to me!! I just needed a fresh and sweet card so used some favorite colors.
I'm still in the midst of reorganizing with both of my adult sons coming home temporarily(!!??) in just a few weeks (see prior posts). I really had planned to get the guest room re-done, this is just rushing it. (My oldest son gets the guest room. We moved after he left so he's never had a room in this house). The big problem is that guest room had become my overflow storage. So the boxes of knitting supplies in that room have now come into my craft room (there's a certain logic to crafts being stored in a craft room!) but that also means boxes of card-making supplies are getting weeded out. But there's so much more overflow in that room, including a piano (try finding space for a piano, even temporarily!) I actually enjoy the act of organizing but this is breaking my brain!!
I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!

ReplyDeleteI don't envy you--haha! Good thing you like organizing! One of my favorite things about cardmaking is that we can make any image any color we want! I love your pretty flowers & the blue papers!
