Tiered Tray for May

Spring Gnomes This is a kit from Paisleys and Polka Dots Includes the blocks, gnomes and the hanging mushrooms on the beads. The flower pot on the right is a Foundations Decor item. Tiered tray from Amazon Mushrooms from Hobby Lobby Flowers from Michael's and Hobby Lobby Sweet jar is a Rea Dunn purchase from mercari Paper used is the Tulla & Norbert spring collection by Photo Play Close up of the Mr Spring Gnome Close up of Mrs Spring Gnome Flower pot done in the same paper. This was a very fun set to complete. Things I did a little different - I added the same paper to the back since you can see my tray from 3 sides So far this has been my favorite of the gnome projects. 

The last of the Carpet is out!

The long over due Reno - Here are some slightly Before, during  and After shots of the room.  I forgot to take a before picture with all the furniture in the room of course. BEFORE: Just after removing the furniture and a quick vacuum Before we removed the carpet I painted an end table for Miranda Might as well not make a mess on the new floor and I couldn't do this in the garage as there was sawdust flying.  During: Jason scrapping the caulking off the wall This is an impressive picture as this is just after getting the  carpet and pad out of the room. We were expecting the worst. this was the room that Empire replaced and had spent all day removing the prior flooring of cement board, screws and cement covered in the cheap sticker flooring.  glad it was actually done so well  and we didn't have to rent a scraping tool. We actually had more trouble in  this  room with  the carpet tack strips. Jason refers to them as the blackberry  ...

Another Sneak Peak into May

Sneak Peak #2 As I sat Saturday night and started stamping and punching flowers I thought it might be another good sneak peak for you all to see. I'm so glad I started a bit early on this class. I find its really hard to use my machines during the day.(Jason is on so many phone calls.) That not only includes the silhouette but it also includes the Gemini. Which I have to say I actually use it more now days then the Silhouette. The card I did before this one had 19 cuts per card. Crazy when you think about it that way. I completed 380 cuts for 1 card grouping. With using a punch on the current card I am able to cut the die cutting to 80 cuts. And using some pattern paper I believe I will only have 20 images to stamp for those cuts - pattern paper with bees seems to match the bee die I have. YAY!! The flower images I was able to stamp and punch I had 100 of each flower (each card has 15 flowers to play with) so that was 600 stamped images and 300 punched completed flowers...
