Operation Scraproom: Still Under Construction...

Hey Everyone,
Boy will I ever be happy when my scrappy room is finally up an running.  Shelves are on the walls and desks and other furnitures are all in their proper place but I've got a TONNE of supplies that need to be weeded through and organized.  It doesn't help that I went to a scrapbook store Garage Sale on the weekend and got a bunch more stuff to add to the stash!  But no regrets!  Some wicked awesome deals to be had!  Anyways, my point is that I despite the condition of my creative space at the moment I still managed to scrounge together some of my available materials and put together a birthday card for my BIL.  I used a Sketch #107 from Sketchabilities as my spring board to jump from.  The rest was scraps found in my scrap drawer.  Happy to be witting this bin down (little by little!)

Sentiment stamp: PTI, jewel flourishes: Recollections

I always love added photos to my cards for family.  Love to look back on them and see how my girlies have changed!

I'd like to submit this to the following blogs:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
Sister Act Anything Goes Card Challenge: #76

Thanks so much for stopping by!

123 Get Scrappy Challenge #14 Up and Running!!

Hey Everyone!

Woooohoooo!  Another month means another challenge up and running over at 123 Get Scrappy!  The September board is sure to spark some inspiration (as they always do!).

Here is my creation!

I used the diagonal: Lots of Leaves: Brown Background: Long Title

And here is the Bingo Board for your creative pleasure:

Unfortunately crafting has been a scarce activity these last couple of weeks.  We had windows replaced throughout the house and a lot of the rooms had to be turned upside down and/or emptied to make room for the window installers and their equipment.  Of course this led to some redecorating endeavours which have yet to be completed.  One of those such rooms is my craft room.  All my stuff is packed away in boxes or under piles of other stuff making it hard to get any fun stuff done!  Working on limited supplies this week...but iz all good...all the more creative spark required!  Need that every now and then!  :D

Be sure to check out the rest of the design team over at 123 Get Scrappy and I hope to see your creations!

I'd also like to submit this to the following blog:

Scrap our Stash #18-"Back to School"-(A) graph paper, (B) alphas, pen, file folder (used to make the tag)

Thanks for dropping by!
