Less is More challenge

Stampin Up Creative Elements with large scallop circle punch

I've just had time before I head off to my cornet lesson to join in with the Less is More challenge this week.  The lovely ladies over there have a colour theme this week and you need to use neutrals.  I've used a template that my friendly team mate Ginny gave to me for my base card and created an aperture using Stampin Up large scallop circle punch.  I also made a mask to stamp inside the card using the Creative Elements stamp set like I did on this post in my blog.  To colour the flowers you can use Stampin Up Marvellous Markers to bring in different neutral shades and the butterfly features the rock and roll technique which I can share with you at your workshop if you choose.  The sentiment is also Stampin Up - Sincere Salutations. 

Have yourself a great weekend.

My new Stampin Craft Room - Chapter 2

You may recall my post about my new craft room back last year when I promised I would update you on its progress.  I've been remiss and several folk have asked for an update and so to keep you all in the picture here are some of the following stages.  We're almost there so I'll update you over the next few days.

Once the foundations were dug a special raft had to be created due to the removal of the pine tree and also because of other trees near by.  This was made of a steel frame and then submerged in concrete. 

This was then smoothed and has become the garage floor.

Once this has gone 'off' building began in earnest and it quickly rose to this.

Check back soon for the next installment!
