Two challenge cards and pics of my new craft room

I have made these two cards earlier on this week but forgot to blog them :(


This first card is made using the sketch on Sugar Bowl which is also to incorporate "birthday" in your project. I was asked to make an A5 card for order for friend at work which I have to say I was struggling with until I saw the sketch and thought it would be perfect rotated and with sentiment and flowers added to embellish.

My second card I made for my friend's daughter's birthday later this month. The card was a bit of a "play" to use my new lacy scallop circle nesties and Doily border die from Magnolia :)

As this week on Just Magnolia is "Anything Goes", it fits perfectly LOL

These are two pics of my new craft room. I was previously in a conversion of the garage that my hubby did for me but as the room was quite big and my 16 year old son needed a bigger bedroom, he has moved into there and I have been temporarily "camped out" in the dining room. It has been very hard to craft with things stored in boxes but as my son "moved" last weekend then we started on his old bedroom for my craft room. I painted it on Monday night and went shopping to Ikea on Tuesday for the storage. Found some fabby 2x2 Expedit units (I had 3 of them) and boxes for them. As I have a stinking head cold my lovely hubby put the units together last night and he and my son moved everything upstairs with me supervising where everything needed to go. Just the blind to be fitted on the window then all done. I now have my desk for crafting on and the surface of the units hold my printer, scanner, hard drive and Cricut.

Very happy (if poorly) Jane :)
