Operation Clean-Up

I really need to organize my craft desk... here's what I have to work with:

The shelves don't need that much work, it's everything else...

Hubby still hasn't mounted my magnetic board for me.

It's all the paper that is going take the longest to organize.. I'm the worse at picking coordinating cardstock for my projects. So one project would mean piles & piles of paper scattered all over the room.

All this mess and I still haven't even gotten to my sewing stuff, but the fabric pile is another day's mountain to climb. Today... paper crafts!

Another thing that Hubby hasn't mounted even though he said he'd do it ages ago, my pegboard.

I've got my work cut out for me... not I just have to wait for the babies to fall asleep, and I'll be on my way.

Baby Mice in Our Kitchen

These 2 baby mice were squeaking from underneath our refrigerator for 2 nights before we found them. We were going to take them to the pet store to find out what kind of mice they were and whether or not the pet store people wanted them. However, they died without their mother (who could not find) before we could get them to the store... they were pretty cute for rodents!

"Sleeping Angel" Page

This is the latest & only page I've been able to scrap in a long time.


I love the little paper flower. I used rub-on letters to make the title.

The little photo corner was cut out with thick textured cardstock using a Cuttlebug die, then painted with a coat of  gold acrylic paint.

The little brown flourish holding up the photo was just a clip art of ornaments I found online & printed out. I colored the originally black & white flourish with Tim Holtz "Vintage Photo" Distress Ink. As for the flower, Prima Flowers are one of my new obsessions! SO PRETTY! I stamped the cream cardstock in the background with a French Writing stamp in black ink.

The journaling is written with a silver jel pen on a tag. On the blue background cardstock I used my favorite fiskar border punch. Then I stamped the cardstock with some flourish in "Peeled Paint" Distress Ink.
