spread your wings...

on
I'm a pretty lazy crafter so this is one of my more labor intensive cards..
recipe

I used a much hoarded Martha butterfly punch...I bought it awhile ago at the A Muse warehouse sale and well, just took it out of the packaging yesterday....

The Stampin' Up cardstock I used:

ivory
island indigo
pumpkin pie
more mustard
chocolate chip


I was inspired by the latest Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger:

Fall is in the Bag


Okay, I LOVE the bag...I was inspired by:

the colors
the repetition
the graphic pattern

This card is 3 x 5.5 inches.


For those of you that have been following me for awhile know that I work in my crafty hallway....

Here's a little peek into my new crafty world:)


I still have my crafting hallway too but we just bought a new home and I get a whole room for my crafting haven.....Dontcha love my framed print?

Last weekend I brought some non-crafty friends over to see the house and absolutely screamed when I saw my new desk:)


That sneaky man of mine...snuck it in without me knowing
...it'll eventually move under the window...

I even have a walk-in closet...


I'm trying to think things through before filling up my new space...paint...chandeliers...more storage....it'll be a slow process but one that I will absolutely enjoy.  I'll still have my crafting hallway for a couple years as I live part time at both homes but it's all good...Life is good...just something that I wanted to share with you all...it's definitely a scrapbooking journey for me.
