Hi all. Hope you're all good. I've got really bad back pain today so am not in the mood for crafting- shock horror! Thought I'd give you an update on my updated craft room which I keep banging on about showing you! Well.......errrrr...... you won't be seeing the updated look any time soon as it will soon be undergoing another update so thought I might as well wait and show you it finished!! I promise this was all my husband's idea but who am I to say no??! So my craft room was the smallest bedroom of the house but it actually had an ensuite. There are a few problems with the toilet, the shower leaks and the floor tiles are dodgy so we were going to have to fix all of those issues. So hubbie decided rather than fix them and the ensuite not be used anyway (I don't get THAT glittery when I'm crafting!!), why not get rid of the ensuite and give more crafty space to me?!!! So yay, I'm adding to my crafty space. I'm thinking of having a stamping area... my mind is going in overdrive !!!!
Onto cards.....
First up is a card I've made for a friend who is an events organiser- I thought Execubella was the perfect image! As usual coloured with mixture of lyra and watercolour pencils and outlined in a warm copic. This gorgeous paper is American Crafts. Don't you love that ribbon in the corner?!! It's from the freebie stash I got from my big (!) order to Stamping Bella. I've never seen it before- it's kinda rubber like. I stuck it with a spray glue but I love it.
I'd like to enter this for:

Next up is another Christmas card! I know it feels wierd posting a Christmas card now the weather is so gorgeous and sunny but I'm on a mission!! I've used Christmatini from Stamping Bella. I love the 'tinis, I think I have them all! I used my usual colouring mediums with a bit of sponged inking in the background. The sentiment is Hero Arts. Papers are by Stampin Up I won in blog candy from Michelle- thanks Michelle! I added some Kraft cardstock stars and a bit of glittery trim.
