New Craft Room & A BD Card

It certainly is nice to be back! Today I'm going to share with you the birthday card I made for my husband and a few photos of my new craft room. Here's the card ...

As you can see by the theme of the card, my hubby just loves stars. I generally try to make each year's card incorporating stars. The large star that is popped up is a die cut using Sizzix Stars #2. I embossed the sentiment It's Your Day from PTI's stamp set Star Prints with silver EP. The background behind the white nestability Label Four die cut is patterned paper I had purchased many moons ago. It really was the perfect choice for this card. The sentiment Celebrate With Style is also from a PTI stamp set called Big & Bold Wishes. Now, here's a close up to show the depth of layers ...

The white layer of card stock made as a frame using Labels Four nestabilities is mounted with thin foam tape and the star is mounted with two layers of foam tape to give more depth. Oh yes, the little star stamps in each of the three corners is again a PTI stamp from the Borders & Corners {Circle} set. It was a perfect finishing touch. Card stock is from PTI and SU!

I had a request from a reader asking asking if I would be posting photos of my new craft room. Honestly I never considered it until someone actually asked. So here goes ... the order of the photos are from the left side of the room working around to the right side next to my door.

One of the most favourite things about this room is the amount of natural light I get each and every day, no matter rain or shine. It's absolutely fantastic.

This last photo shows a white dresser. This was my son's old, old brown wood dresser that I sanded and painted white. The old hardware that was on this dresser was hideous so I filled the old holes with wood putty, sanded and then drilled "one" new hole for my the updated pewter hardware that I had from a previous reno. I love how this turned out and it's unbelievable the amount of "stuff" it houses for me! A perfect storage solution at a minimal expense. I have another corner in the room that is devoted to "uncatagorized" stuff so I did not include that area, it's too messy! lol

Anyhoo, hope you enjoyed.

Until next time,
