Craft room projects

I'm still working on my craft room .... I guess this means I have a lot (too much???) stuff to organize :-)

I was working today on some memory boards. I saw this idea about a year ago on Pinterst and was reminded of it when visiting my friend Patricia's house the other week. We both LOVE this retired Stampin'Up! designer series paper (I cannot recall the name but it has been retired for at least 4 years now). Anyways, Patricia had used this paper on her boards and I remembered that I still had several sheets in my private 'stash'

I had hard time figuring out where I would place my clip boards, but found a perfect place at the end of my book case. I had 3 large boards and one tiny one, and as you can see, I'm not organized enough yet to have anything really hanging there :-)
Well I did have a free coffee coupon for Stockmann's department store back home in Finland.... Maybe I remember to take it with me next summer.... :-)

I also have a bad habit to keep small scraps and extra bits and pieces in a bin.... Guess how often I go to that bin.... 

These bins are actually all retired products and papers... Maybe I should just be brutal and dump it all... Without looking into it too much...

Maybe one day my craft room will be organized enough to actually post some pictures of it... Right now it has a guest bed headboard in the middle of room. I'll post a separate post about this project when it's at its final stages :-)

Looking forward to this spring... And really getting things in order at the house!

Four Feathers with washi

This card was cased from Linda Throgmorton. The stamp set is 'Four Feathers' and I used the matching framelits.

The card base is Whisper White and the embossed background is Lost Lagoon.
I cut out a feather from the top layered Lost Lagoon piece and added Washi Tape (from Fall Catalogue) behind the opening. Then I stamped one feather with a Early Espresso on Lost Lagoon card stock (this was actually the piece that was cut out from the top layer) and one feather with Lost Lagoon on whisper White.

I used Early Espresso Bakers Twine and a retired bronze button (you could use any kind of button here)

Love is Kindness

This 'Love is Kindness' stamp from the spring catalogue is super versatile and I love how this turned out with these soft pink colours (pink pirouette)

Sheltering tree for valentines

This card is using same colours as the previous card and using the same stamp set. Just added the pink Strawberry Slush hearts for Valentine's Day card

Sheltering tree

Sheltering tree I one of my favourite stamp sets from the spring catalogue.

I used various pink tone inks for the leafs and love how the card turned out
