Scrapbook Stamp Society Challenge #137-"Easter"

Good Monday morning dear friends!

Today we begin a brand new challenge at Scrapbook Stamp Society...for the next two weeks we'd love for you to show us some of your Easter creations...of course you have the option of "Anything Goes" as well!!

I finally got to work a bit in the craft room...still upside down and can't find things but at least the walls are almost done and it's not freezing down there!!  I'll post some pics when all is done!

Here is what I came up with...
please click on the first image for a loser view/slideshow...
card base is Spellbinders Grand Dahlia...
DP is from my stash...can't remember who it's by...
I surrounded the image with some trim that I found while sorting then mounted it all on cheesecloth...
 this little darling is called "Little Ducky Bunny"
you can find her HERE...
coloured with my copics...
accented with Glossy Accents...and oooppps I had a bit of a mishap on the eyes...I put too much on and was cloudy then when I went to take it off it left threads...YIKES...all this when the card was completely finished...UGH!!...
 the flower arrangement with "Happy Easter" ribbon from my stash...
flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts...

And that is my Easter card...now come on over and join us at Scrapbook Stamp Society...we always love to see you creations!!

Craft Room Woes!!

Good morning dear friends!

This is where I'd usually post for Midweek Magnolias...BUT I'm in a bit of a mess here...I hope that you will pay my talented teamies a visit though!!

We knew that we had some more water issues but NOT as bad as what it turned out to be!! I had a desk/shelf supply area against the one wall...I could just swivel my chair between my desk and the shelves where the supplies that I used most were right at hand...when we moved everything away to take the wall down there was MOLD...YIKES!!!  I had to throw out some shelves AND supplies 😢!!

This is the wall right now...

And this is the state of my desk/shelves/supplies...
 with more around the corner in the other part of my craft room where the outer wall needs to come down as well...

I'll be trying to get things done amongst the chaos but right now it's too cold down there without the insulation as winter has decided to come back after the lovely early thaw that we had...UGH!!!

Any way I have BIG plans for a nice and organized new area!!!

See you soon!
