Our home has four bedrooms. Two bedrooms in each wing of the house. The kids bedrooms are in the opposite wing of our bedroom and the fourth room. Originally, the fourth room was to be my craft/sewing room, but at the last moment we converted it into a bedroom for visitors and or as a homework area for Faye. It has a queen size bed, end tables, a desk and a large walk-in closet. You're probably wondering why I'm mentioning this and how it is relavent to card making, but it is precisely because of this closet that this story begins.
This closet has become the multi-purpose storage area for our junk. It is where I have stashed all of our storage items including, seasonal clothing, decorations, tax files, water jugs, crafts, kids papers and of course my scrapbooking supplies. I can barely walk into this closet as it is so full of stuff. Last week Iwas in need of a card for a baby shower and as my cards are in this this closet, I began to rummage through baskets, boxes, and storage bins. I couldn't find anything anywhere in that closet! Finally I pulled out my scrabooking box from the shelf with some difficulty and started to go through it. Since our move from Wisconsin, my scrapbooking box has become a jumbled mess, with every thing out of order and papers all mixed up. So I took some time last week to go through my box, and finding matching paper and putting everything back in the right place. The bed was covered in papers for days. It was during this organizing project that I came across some paper that my sister-in-law had made for Provo Craft.
Tina is a very talented and creative artist, and she has been a professional scrapbooker for the last decade or so. I came across this paper and wanted to use it to make some cards. It is so funky and fun, it was really great making these cards with paper she designed! What do you think of them?
Organizing my paper really got my creative juices flowing and inspired my recent ideas. Tina has also inspired me to look at things in a new way and be as unique as only I can be. Thanks Tina!
I used Tina's paper in the "Oh Baby!" and "Cute as Can Be" cards and in the "Thanks" card in the second photo. Card making is lots of fun and can be very relaxing. You should try it some time.
