Well the builders have arrived this morning to start converting half of the garage to an extra room, then they'll extend the current dining room before knocking down the wall between it and the kitchen to give me a large open plan kitchen/dining room. My craft room will be restructured as well to relocate the door so it's gonna be hell let loose here for a few weeks so please excuse my mess whilst we restructure to make things better!!
Luckily the real messy work has been planned for the October holiday week and we're going to disappear and leave them to it after sealing off the rooms in the rest of the house to minimise the dust - we'll see what happens!
Any way onto cards:
DL card, LOTV sentiment stamp cut with a round nestie and layered onto the new holly dies which have been highlighted with stickles (all cut from snippets). Card is finished with some recycled red ribbon and Papermania Merry Christmas ribbon.
Challenges entered:
LOTV - red, green and white Christmas
Less is More - anything goes
Stamptacular Sunday - Just Sayin
Craft Room Challenge - anything Christmas
Jules Snippets Challenge - week 37

ReplyDeleteHi Carol, this is so nice, I love the holly die it looks so effective, and the colours are so Christmasy. Good luck with all the building work, I have just moved into our converted garage for my craft room, as our youngest daughter and fiance have now bought thier own house and it was their sitting room. It's wonderful having all that space. Thanks for joining us at Craft-Room Challenge and the very best of luck. Julia xxxx
