It's a Good Friday indeed

This has been an odd week for me. No mojo on the nights I can craft in my space and mojo on the nights I can't. Nothing bad is going on, just been an odd week. The biggest downer is that I have three images colored and ready for some card. The same three images that have been colored and waiting for going on two weeks now. They are now waiting with some patterned paper and cardstock so they are closer to complition, lol. Our district ended up with a bad weather make-up day yesterday and my hubby had it off :( On the plus side, I did get to create for ya'll last night. For today's YMH project I went with a quick card using some Tattered Angles chipboard and mist (don't forget about the TA sale going on at YMH). I watered down some paint and painted it over the sponged and misted owl to give it some more personality. I really like how the little guys belly turned out too. The eyes were small half chocolate half pearls.

Shabby Fall

Here's another shabby card for ya'll. I'm really likeing this style, and it works so well with the autumn/fall season that is upon us. It so fun trying out new styles and techniques. The flower I created for my card is a bigger version of the flower you can find at my post here. I really love that it was made from a paperbag and that it was so easy to make. The paper took the glimmer mist so well too. I use Tattered Angels Golden Terracotta and Tiger Lily (you can find many colors at Your Memories Here). I only wish the pictures could do the glimmer justice. The paper used came from YMH as well, and I really like how it lends itself to not only autumn/fall season but the shabby chic style too. The lace ribbon I used for the leaves and the edge of the DP strip and the three half perals is from YMH and can be found under Prima (and who doesn't love them some Prima right, lol). For the center of my flowers I used a clear epoxy circle thingy that I stuck on top of a 1/2" circle I punched out of some DP. Just a little something extra to a already cute flower.
As for the state of my craftroom...well, it still looks like a tornado has hit it. In fact, it might even be worse off as my DS played in there this week. Oh well, maybe this will be the week I start cleaning it...
