Creative Space Thursday

Hi there everyone, we all know what today is don't we?  Yep that's right it is Creative Space Thursday!!  A day that I love as it is the day where I get to peek into other creative peoples' creative spaces.  I have been fairly busy this past week as you will see.  I decided to join into some card creating challenge sites and it has been non stop since.  So without further ado here is my space for this week.  Please enjoy the journey through my space. . . 

This is my machine space. . . my Cuttlebug, my Bind-It-All, and my Cricut Create and behind that is a beautiful canvas that was gifted to me by an amazing spiritual woman - Anna.  Look within the picture and you will see images peeking through. . . it's quite amazing!!

This is the first corner of my creative station where I make all my projects.

This is the other end of my creative station where my folder of cardstock sits as well as my scrapbooking printed 12 x 12 papers are in the folders on top.  (These are just the current ones lol)

A middle view of my work station and the cards in view there are the ones I have uploaded to the various challenge sites.  I tell you it is the best decision I have made it got me out of my rut I was in and it keeps me creating which is a jolly good thing indeed.

Another shot, geez I must have been snap happy this morning with the sun shining into my space it was absolutely glorious to see after the rain.  

The basket here has some of my smaller amounts of ribbon spooled onto the old fashioned dolly pegs which someone told me about, a really good idea as it saves all that tangled mess one tends to get in their ribbon stash.

Another shot of my finished cards. . .


Finally the supplies for my next project (Ssshhh it's a secret)  no not really I just have not decided what I am going to make with it just that I wanted that combination for my next project hehehehe.

Well that is it for my space this week people.  I hope you enjoyed the trip around my space.  I do have a whole craft room around that table but it is not where I get my creative spurt from lol it is from life, my surroundings, books I read, people I meet and last but not least. .  my crazy mixed up head.
You should pop on over to Kootoyoo's blog to check out all the other amazing creative spaces.  Go on I dare you. . .
In the meantime. . .

Creative Space Thursday

Well Bloggers it's that time of the week where I take a peek at other peoples creative spaces and they in turn can take a peek at mine if they have a mind to.  I hope you all enjoy my new look blog which my lovely daughter Courtney created for me.  I absolutely adore my new blog it is more me than my old one and I am so happy that Courtney took the time out of her busy schedule to create it for me. . . thanks my love.

This week has been full on with me taking a leap of faith and putting myself out there in cyberspace by putting my work up on challenge blogs.  You know how it goes people. . . you think you do good work but you are afraid to put yourself out there in case other people don't think so.  So I procrastinated and then I procrastinated some more until I decided that I would just jump off the precipice and do it and now I want to go on many challenges lol.  Once you open the door that's it folks there ain't no turnin' back.  I thought it was high time I stopped chatting to myself and saying things like "Geez Shell you did a good one there" and "I think that is better than the one I saw on that blog" hehehe I guess we have all been there and now it's my turn.  So without further ado here is my space for this week. . . . enjoy!!


This pic has some mini canvas's, some new ribbon, some sponge daubers, glue tape and the one colour item in the pic is my new hand-coloured cardstock which I am very proud of and the flowers were also hand coloured etc by me.  Which if you look at the post before this one you will see more hand-coloured cardstock and another hand-coloured flower that I did.  I also purchased an unmounted scrolly type alphabet today whilst down in Armidale and some vintage 3D embellishments.




This pic is a closer look and is in colour.  What can I say it is late at night lol.



This pic has the card I made for my challenge on Monday this week.  Well bloggers that is it for me it is now 11.15pm and I am about to head off to bed but I wanted to get this post in as I missed out the last two weeks.  Don't forget to pop on over to Kootoyoo's blog to check out the other creative spaces.
In the meantime though. . . . .
