New and Improved Studio-Lots of pics
Wow, I can't believe it has been two years ago today since I last blogged about my studio. You can read that post here. Well, I am here to show you the new and improved room! First, I moved out of the room that I was in (David's Man Cave) a few months ago and into the spare bedroom. The room was neutral in color, so I painted the window wall with a light aqua color (matched from some My Mind's Eye paper). Well, today I am ready to share pictures. It is not perfect, but I love working in this room now.
This is the view from the doorway looking to the right, there are no stamping supplies in the closet, except for some ribbon that is hanging on hangers. The brown antique dresser has "stuff" in the top three drawers and keepsakes from when my boys were little in the bottom two.
This is my new desk, I have been dreaming about storage like this for awhile now. I just put it together yesterday, so I haven't quite figured out what is going to go where in the drawers. See that little sewing machine? I have never used it. I might now!
This is the left wall of the room. See those pretty shelves? My dear BIL made them. One actually belongs to my sister, but when they moved she didn't have room for it. Lucky me! See the little white desk/chair under the shelves.......those were my sister's also. It is perfect for my Cuttlebug station.
This is the right side of my desk, David made this for me several years ago for a Christmas present. It is 8' long. Mr. Lappy sits on this end when I take him in there. One of these days, I will hang the memo board on the wall, for now, it is just resting on the top shelf of the desk.
This is the left side of the desk. Copics at my fingertips, it doesn't get much better than that! The top shelf is home to my clear and cling mounted stamps (in the white bins). My trusty old Fiskars cutter stays here all of the time. The little white bin to the right of the cutter has scraps of paper in it.

Come on a Festive hop with me!
Tonight we are sharing cards/projects using the Festive Frame set from Gina K. Designs. I embossed my image with Hematite (black pearl) embossing powder on white shimmer cardstock. The flower image was colored with R20, R29, R35 and a touch of R59 Copic markers. I punched the corners of the PL Black Onyx cardstock with an Iron Eagle punch and attached it to a white shimmer panel that I ran through my Cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls EF. I added some red Midori ribbon tied up in a big bow and layered to a 5" x 7" PL Black Onyx card.
Melanie Muenchinger, the Illustrator of Festive Frame has invited a couple of her friends to join in on the blog hop tonight, so click on their blog links to see the projects they've created for us:

Peace
I created this card for my sketch challenge at StampTV last week. I totally forgot to upload it here on the blog. I used the new Vintage Borders set from Gina K Designs for this card. The red layer was embossed with the Victorian CB EF. For the print background I stamped the border several times with Adirondack Espresso ink. The ornaments and "peace" were embossed with detail gold ep. The ribbon is two ribbons layered together. I used a button and some MS branch punchies for the spray accross the round panels.
