creating…
Slowly, my studio is getting pieced back together.. there are still a bunch of boxes that I have only glanced through and pulled out the most necessary contents… but there is still SO much sorting, organizing and setting up left to do! it’s a process; a creative process. Despite the crazy, disorganized jumble it seems to be, it’s so great to be back in my space. I have tons of room for what I need, and I love my 42” tall island, and my wall-sized dry erase calendar from Pottery Barn, and all my magnet boards and shelves. i have been on a creative kick, and it’s feels so good.. just thought I’d share a few of the items… I am just trying to get myself thinking and creating again…getting reacquainted with some of the stuff I had left behind. My focus has been on Quincy as she has turned 8, and we got some great photos of her baptism… I want her to remember that special day always. ( and she SOO appreciates the attention!) smile. So I made her this little card.

I used the Heart Mega-Mask and positioned it over the borders invisible sheet… inked the inside of the heart. Then I used the chipboard invisible frames, inked that to match… and I LOVE the little polka-dot letter stickers… inked those as well! I used my favorite letter stamps to stamp “love”… can you see the ‘just chillin’ MM paper, and the hambly frame overlay on this page as well… I am not sure who makes that yellow gingham paper.. but I LOVE it! (so into yellow right now). They eyelet paper is actually a notecard from the Martha Stewart line.

I missed my ‘crackle’ stamp while I was away! You can find the ‘she’ cards here, and the tab in the upper right corner is from here. and I just had to add this and the border from this paper….
Just simple ones, but it felt great to scrapbook!
i have more in the works… can't wait to share!

My craftroom is a giant mess! It used to be my husband’s office and I have since taken the space over for my scrapbook pleasures…LOL Much like the shoe racks, the closets, and the dressers;)
Please take a photo of your studio. I love to see your creative space.

26 May, 2009 at 5:57 pmHeidi: your layout using the invisible products is really nice and now I have inspiration to create a page using these products for the LSS I work for. Can you tell me how you got the variegated green color from the distress ink? Love your stuff!!

26 May, 2009 at 6:05 pmHi Heidi: Is it possible to post pictures of your studio? I recently purchased a house and one of the rooms will become my office/craft room. I’ve been searching the internet for pictures of other rooms for inspiration and I’d love to see where you create.
Thanks,
Ami

27 May, 2009 at 9:10 amlove when you post your beautiful scrap pages! a couple of questions, what stamp or rub on did you use for the “Q” in the daughter layout, and where can i find the crackle stamp?? is that what is used on the back round (with the blue showing thru)? i have been in such a rut, and i keep buying stuff (that i really don’t need!) thinking it will get the juices flowing…but alas! nothing!!! btw, my son is named quincy and i just love the name for a girl! my daughter is named ryan, so i do like to be very gender bending on the names as well!!

28 May, 2009 at 5:25 amLove the card you created. Your layouts and projects always provide inspiration. I wish my brain was wired more like yours. The pink/orange paper on the front of the card is beautiful. Who is the paper from or did you make it yourself with inks and invisibles paper?
