Good morning and happy Saturday to you, Friends! It's the big day for the studio - it's Painting Day! We got the paint picked out last night - which was no small feat - but I think we chose well. I wanted kraft color but the actual color was gonna be a bit too dark so then we had to decide how much lighter to go. I didn't want it to be too 'cream' on the walls but I also don't want to work in a really dark room. It's so hard because you're never exactly certain what it's going to look like till you get it on the walls. :) Anyway, we're just having a bit of warm, cozy oatmeal before we head up and get to work. Can't wait to share pictures of a finished room!
Before I head out, let me tell you about today's card. I got an email from one of my blog reader's husbands asking if I'd make a special card for her for their anniversary. How sweet is that? This is the card I made. I used one of Papertrey's medium glassine bags on the card front. It's the perfect size to put on a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card! I ran it thru my Big Shot using my Cuttlebug swiss dot embossing folder and I used my SU! scalloped edge punch on the end of it. I attached the back side of the bag to the card and then tucked a piece of brown card stock in the bag. I used some SU! rub-ons in white on the brown card stock so that they'd show thru the glassine bag. So fun and you can write an extra message on the back of the brown card stock! The little tag was created using the Mixed Messages set from Papertrey (SUCH a handy set to have), a corner rounder punch and some gemstones from Hero Arts.
This was a really fun card to make for a special 3rd anniversary and I'm glad I got to be a part of it! I hope she liked it! :)
Have a great day, All! I've got to go get my painting clothes on!
