Colour Q 117 and Just Us Girls 117 {Just for You}

The last day of the year is here and with it comes the need to make at least a couple of resolutions. I hope to keep my craft room better organized! That is a BIG one for me. I spent about 5 hours tonight, cleaning and purging my room of creativity!  It feels much more zen and clean!!!  I just love having a tidy desk to work on!!! LOL!




The Colour Q has a wonderful colour combo of Black, White and another colour. My favourite colour from Stampin' Up is "Poppy Parade" and I was excited to use some of my new goodies that I received over the holidays!!!  I took inspiration from the photo Arielle provided. The damask really caught my eye!


Just Us Girls, has a challenge to use felt on your project. Cool huh!!! So I went into my newly organized crafty drawer and found some red felt. Using the Big Shot and my Prima Donna Petals die from MFT, I cut out the flower base. Then I cut the other parts of the flower in regular Poppy paper. The centre of the flower has a pearl.  The sentiment and the French Script background I used on the rectangle, are from two different Inspired by Stamping sets Ahoy Matey and All Year Wishes II. 

Thank you for stopping by!!! Happy New Year to all of my blogging friends!

Smiles,
Lesley

  4. Lesley. this is stunning. I love the black and white with that bright, rich red. The broad red stripe at the back of the focal point really takes this card to another level. Fabulous! Happy New Year to you, my friend. I hope it is a truly wonderful 2012 for you all.

  5. THIS is LOVELY, Lesley! What wonderful timing - being that you can put your hands, immediately, on the perfect FELT for the job - I'M impressed! {I used to have a friend who RE-organized, including moving furniture, ever couple of months - I used to think she was wasting her time.... But as the years have passed, I realize HOW much better we can make stuff it we know EXACTLY how to recall, find and enjoy our 'supplies'} I'm happy for the freedom you must be feeling - and it definitely shows in this lovely piece! Great compo of color and JUGS fun - THANKS, as always, for posting our graphic! Thanks, for gracing us with your magic, once again! xo!
