Arlana's Craft Room

I have been promising that I would show you Arlana's craft room. Now you know why Judi and I love going there. It is a little bit of heaven!
You can get a little idea of how big it is because you can see the queen size mattress that I sleep on. Well, when Judi and I are both there, there is room for two mattresses. Actually, there is probably room for three.

Hi everyone, what a nice three day weekend...even if I did have to go into work on monday so that I didn't get behind with my work. Actually, I will admit that I worked from home so it wasn't too bad. I got off work on Friday a little early so that was nice too. My kids were off camping and having a good time.

SWEET SKETCH WEDESDAY 64 AND DIGI STAMP CHARACTERS

It was super busy this weekend working in my office at home. I got up at 6 a.m. (I can't believe I did this on a Saturday...I have this internal clock that won't let me sleep in.) and I started reorganizing all of my colored card stock. I put all of the card stock in binders by colors. I put each color in a sheet protector. (One binder has blues, one has reds and so forth) This is one of Arlana's ideas and I have been wanting to do it but just haven't gotten around to it. It took me all day.... but now it is done. I am so proud!!! I can finally stand looking at my shelves. I almost know what I have now...what a concept. I just need a nice place to store my 12 x 12 paper and I will be set.

Arlana has a super fun sketch this week over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I ended up doing two cards because I loved the sketch so much. It is simple but so fun with the added border around the image.

Our sponsor this week is: DIGI STAMP CHARACTERS

SHIP AHOY!!! SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY62 AND PIXIE DUST STUDIO

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!

I hope you are having a wonderful week.

Mine has been a little crazy. On saturday, one of our neighbors was walking his dogs and a Pitbull that lives right across the street from me, attacked one of the little dogs along with bitting the man. I wasn't sure if the little dog was going to survive but luckly after two days in the animal hospital she is back home. She has a torn broken leg and multiple wounds. We have so many children on our street that we are praying that the pitbull will not be allowed to come back home. This is the third time the pitbull has attacked another animal and human in our neighborhood.

Well, enough of that.....lets focus on some fun, happy stuff!!!!

Are you ready for another fun sketch? I have had so much fun with Arlana's sketch this week over at
SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY

And our DT have really created some dynamite cards for your enjoyment.

The image I have used for this week's challenge is from the Pixie Dust Studio. This sweet image is called: "Wink Pretends"

Our sponsor this week is: KATHIE from PIXIE DUST STUDIO
And, the prize for the winner of this weeks challenge is: "Two digi's of your choice."

So, hop on over and join us this week. We would love to see your creations!

Except for the image, I pretty well stuck with a monochromatic
aqua color scheme for my card to give it an ocean effect.
I used paper from American Craft Girl and Stampin Up.
The colors I used are from Copics Markers: BG10, YR14, E31, E33, YG11, E00 and B24.
I added Crystal Effects to the water and my little "O" ring for the Life Saver. And of course, the twine for the rope. Three Rhinestones. The ribbon is from some ribbon I got at the Expo a few months ago.
