Good Morning! It seems like such a long time since I've been able to sit down and craft. I was off all last week and got alot of cleaning done. I painted my craft room and what a chore that was. Wait until you see the colors- love them! It didn't take long to move everything out but I still don't have it all back together.
I don't know what your organizational skills are like but my room was a mess!! It took me forever to find anything. So after some research I decided to go with the jetmax cubes they have at Michaels. I love them!! I still want to pick up 6 more but it will have to wait until next week and then I should be super organized!
Ok on to today's card. While cleaning I found a poem I had cut out of the newspaper quite a few years ago. At the time I thought I would use it on a scrapbook layout (never did) but thought it was very fitting for my card. Today's card is for a baby shower for a former co-worker. I am using the sketch from this week's Midnight Madness.
Pretty simple design for a midnight madness sketch and I am really pleased with the outcome.
I decided to keep it monochromatic and love the outcome. My sweet little image is from KLM Digistamps and was done in blue ink along with the poem. I love this image because it looks great colored or not. Kim is having a boy, hence all the blue. I'm not a big fan of the traditional pastels but think this is perfect for a boy baby.
Supplies Used:
Navy cardstock from Stampin Up, blue speckled cardstock form Club Scrap,
DP-Little Yellow Bicycle
Ribbon and bow easy
Charm- Making Memories
Challenges:
Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 48- the sketch
Thanks for stopping by and hopefully my posting will now be back on track.
