Paper Issues Sketchy Saturday

It's Sketchy Saturday at Paper Issues.  We have a lovely layout sketch and this fun card one.  I created this card for my hubby. The Carta Bella Words of Love line are just perfect for all your loving scrappy needs.  I hope that you have a chance to play along with us at Paper Issues.  I also used some goodies from the Paper Issues February SWAG bag.  It is chock full of goodies.

Sharing some Valentine Love

Anita here writing to share some February Valentine love with all of you.  I used a pattern from Shabby Fabrics as a jumping off point for this wonderful banner.  I used my light pad to trace the hearts and used fusible web to adhere them.  The scalloped heart is made from 1010% wool felt and is very thick.  I had to iron on the reverse side to avoid the felt from scorching.  I made the holes with a standard whole punch.  I love the patchwork pattern on the hearts, worked perfectly with the jelly roll that I had of Valentine fabrics from Moda.

Hope you have a great day and I'll be back soon.

Hugs,

Love This

I just bought some wonderful new goodies in the Paper Issues store and was so excited to create this layout to go along with the current challenge The Perfect Pairing.  I love this photo of my kids and I which were part of Colleen's high school senior photos.

I used absolutely gorgeous papers from Dear Lizzy called Serendipity by American Crafts.  I would pop over to the Paper Issues store and pick some up before it's all gone.  The embellishments to match this collection are just as sweet.  I puffy heart love the puffy stickers and pleather bows, just sayin.

       
Good Vibes                                            Lucky Love                                    One Fine Day
      
Bright Blue Berry                                  Puffy Stickers                                    Watercolor Words

   
Enamel Dots                                           Pleather Bows

I also used some Crate Paper embellishments:
                                
Kiss Kiss Resin Heart Brads                                               Kiss Kiss Rub-On Transfers

Don't forget that you can use my code to shop Nita, which is my nickname, by the way.  You will get a 20% discount.  Enjoy the rest of your day and we hope you link up to our current issue.  We want to see your work.

My Creative Space CardMaker Blog DT

Welcome to Medway, MA and photos of my creative space.  It is not as organized as I would like, but it is mine and it makes me happy.
My first photo is of my storage cubes which mostly hold paper.  I bought my storage cubes at Oriental Trading a long time ago and they don't seem to carry the same models anymore.  I have seen similar at Joann Fabrics, Michaels and AC Moore.  I desperately need to clean mine out again.

I wish that  I had more space, but make the most of the space that I do have and I love these paper organizers by 31 Gifts.

The second storage cube stack that I have is for more cardstock, I'm sure you  are not surprised by how much I have.  I keep my Silhouette on top of the cube along with my Xyron for easy access.

I have a couple of book shelves next to my desk which have my go to supplies.

Here is a photo of my pride and joy, my Scrapbox desk with a see through top.  Seeing all my The Twinery twine, washi tapes and my tools makes me so happy.

This is the desk from the front.  It's so pretty and perfect sized for this room and my craft needs.

The last photo I want to share is of some inspiration that is on my wall.

Hope you get to craft if not today then soon.  Thanks for looking.
