Today I spent the day cleaning out closets/rooms so we can get new carpet installed on Monday. (I know, if you've read my blog, yes, I did work on it last weekend too). So really we're getting carpet in four bedrooms, but I planned on getting two at a time done. And, then some sort of spark made me think that I should just go ahead and get three rooms ready! Ugh!! - more work than I had realized it would be!! The first two rooms are extra bedrooms, but the third room is our workout/my stamp room. So I'm kinda motivated to get the stamp room done! I'm even thinking of doing some re-arranging, and maybe making one of the extra rooms be my "stamp only" room! Why not, huh? Who needs two extra bedrooms?
The fourth bedroom will be my 15 year old son's room, which probably hasn't had a good "cleaning out" for about 10 years (and yes, we have lived here for ten years!!) - That room needs paint too; so it will take a lot more work! The stamp room needs priority!
So, anyway... after a Huge load to the Salvation Army (a full truck bed full, and the whole back seat), I couldn't stand it any longer... I was ready for a creative break!!
I had bookmarked the Pals Paper Arts Challenge this week - my absolute favorite colors - Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, and Crumb Cake!! And I also bookmarked the Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge - I love the layout! So I riffled through a few boxed up things and came up with this card!

I used one of the Paper Daisy flowers - and did some Blender Pen with Baja Ink, along with some Shimmer Spray. The center of the flower is the Punch Bunch stamp (love that!). I also added some Top Coat Pearlized Accent Ink on a few spots.
I also stamped and cut out butterflies from the Clearly for You set (also used that for the background part here). The butterflies also got a little Top Coat Pearlized Accent Ink! And gotta love some Baja Breeze Seam Binding!
Hope you're having a great weekend,
