Scrap Room and Shelf!!

Good morning everyone :) Okay... I'm going to share the photos of my scrap room! I love being in this house and I love having this room to scrap! And I love having Kevin near me when he is on the pc :)  Okay... here we go:

This is the room from different views. I love having all the shelving for everything! Kevin set up my desk and then made a desk for his laptop. He also mounted a tv right there. How wonderful is that! LOL I wake up in the morning and walk right out here to my work laptop and my scrap supplies! I love it!!

Here is awesome shelf that Kevin made me. I told him that I wanted to be able to see all my wooden stamps so I could use them. They have been in a huge plastic container and to find anything I would sit there for 30 minutes going through them to find anything. There are so many stamps I would use, but I didn't because of how they were stored. So this is what he put together for me. He may even add shelves in between these! Now they are all lined up and I can see them and find them so much easier! I LOVE it!! And I love him so much... he is so good to me :)  And so supportive of my crafting :)  and gardening LOL and book reading and any other hobbies I throw in there LOL! :)  He is the best!!  Okay... here is the shelf!!

Have a wonderful day!!!

Another good day yesterday!! It was really a fantastic weekend.. the temperature was perfect!!! We went out on the bike again yesterday. We found this little restaurant on the lake. We had a burger and it was one of the best burgers I have ever had! It was really fantastic. It was a GORGEOUS day for a ride too!! Now it's time to head to work soon yet again!! The weekends really go by too quickly!! The kids are out of school this week for Spring Break. We aren't going anywhere, so it will be a week at home. I have some chores for them to do each day, but not too much. They can just relax and have a good week away from school. Alright... I hope you all have a great day!! I'm going to try to get a post for tomorrow showing the room and the awesome shelves hubby made me :)  It's going to be a beautiful week here! I hope everyone is well (Vicky!) hehehe And I hope you all have a beautiful week too!!

Challenge #158 @ One Stitch At A Time

Welcome to Challenge #158: Anything Goes at One Stitch At A Time. This is always a fun and easy challenge!!

I used Doxie from IkesArt. I used a Spellbinders die. The image is colored with Copic. The sentiment is from Sentimental Susan. The paw print inside is from a wooden stamp that I've had forever. Sorry the photos didn't come out that great... They were taken outside and they were very muted. Probably because of all the browns, not sure.

 Good luck everyone!! I can't wait to see your projects!! We will be off to church soon. Yesterday, I worked on the garden a bit and got Michael to mow the grass and Bailey planted fliers.  Kevin and I went for a bit of a ride on the motorcycle. It was a beautiful day for a ride, so we went down to the Harley shop. Since the kids helped out in the yard, I went over and grabbed the stuff to make S'Mores. We have a small fire pit in the backyard. I lit the fire pit and we gathered around and made S'mores and roasted marshmallows. Kevin didn't like the S'mores OR the roasted marshmallows LOL We got some photos and I will have to share them. Also, Kevin made me a shelf to put my wooden stamps on. I mentioned to him this morning that I would love to have my wooden stamps out so I could see them and use them more often. Its fantastic! I took photos. I will post the photos of the shelf, the scrap room and the S'mores party later in the week :) I hope you all have a great Sunday!!!

I believe that is all, but I'm not 100% sure. So, today is my last day of work this week Woot!! And we are on our way with the Immigration appointments! This one is our first and hopefully everything will go quickly and smoothly.

Okay... on to our challenge this week at Meljens Designs! This week is Challenge #154: Happy Birthday.

I used Meljen Designs - Birthday Cake Mouse --- How adorable is he!! I had fun coloring this image and I popped the top of the cake and the bottom frosting ring. I colored everything with Copic. I used some stickles - blue, green, purple and crystal. I also used some puff paint for some detailing. I used a small piece of blue lace and the papers are from Bo Bunny. I used two stamps - Happy Birthday on the front is from Jaded Blossom (Make A Wish) and the inside is from Creative Vision (Sassy Happy Birthday II). I also added some stitching on the front.

And the CIO kept me there late.. gotta love that on a Monday LOL  That's alright! At least it was over. Tuesday I spent catching up on everything that was left on my desk from Monday. It was a productive day, but I haven't been able to get much crafting done and that stinks! And then Wednesday -- I spent the day working and working some more... Oh! and working more!! LOL And then I got down to coloring and then it was time for bed. Oh how there are not enough hours in the day for me to play!! LOL I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!!!!

Happy April Fool's Day! @ Tammy's Scrapin Corner

Good and Happy April Fool's Morning everyone!! It's Monday morning again!! Today our theme over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner is April Fool, Funny Birthday Card. Here is my card for this challenge:

I used "Rocks" from SK Digis!! Such a great image.. and so much you can use it with.. You are my Rock, Rock of Ages, You Rock My World LOL I love it!  So I used Happy Birthday 49 and on the inside... You are just a Stones throw away from 50! LOL I thought it was fitting and humorous so I went with it! I colored the image with Copic. I also used walnut stain Distress Ink, Twine, Colorbox Green Ink and twine. I used a Spellbinders embossing folder too. The smaller rocks and the eyes are all popped up to give dimension. You can get the sentiment at Sentimental Susan. Under the sentiment I put a small piece of cheesecloth.

Top Tip:  Use dots with your Copic to add texture to your images.

Church was great and I'm thinking I will get a CD copy and send it to Kevin's Aunt. That way she can see where we are going to church. It was a good sermon too. I also bought a couple of postcards to send to his Aunt and his Dad.

It was a good weekend... never long enough!! I'll be off to work soon. I hope everyone has a great week!!
