FMS29: Purple Flower


Long time no see!   I've been feeling sick (as usual), but we've also been super busy switching around rooms!  My mom comes down on the 24th so we have to get her a bed fixed up before then.  :)   Anyway...it is Wednesday and time for a new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches!   We have two new guest designers, both friends of mine who I adore, so be sure to check out the blog and see their work along with the rest of the design team.  :)    
Because my mojo is still not at its best, I had trouble again this week!   I finally pulled out one of my favorite (and unused) designer paper packs and a soon to retire hostess set.   I thought they worked okay together, but I'm not sure about the French Foliage accents I decided to add.   It seemed too plain without them, but almost too much with them.   I think this baby brain thing has just killed my poor creativity and ability to make nice cards.  I get one every now and then, but not too often!  I'm glad you guys haven't run away and keep visiting anyway!  

Before I go, I thought I'd share a picture of the progress we've made on Laila's room.   Jason has been working so hard this week.  He painted for almost 9 hours on Sunday, disassembled and reassembled furniture, and helped move so much stuff.  I think we just need some fun accents in yellow, a crib dust ruffle, the ceiling fan installed, and some wall art and it should be about ready!

  3. I just saw your card at Freshly Made sketches and had to come over to see it closer. I LOVE the way your accents from French Foliage look. It's what drew me to this card because I never can think of those little details myself and I think they make the card.

    Beautiful!

  4. I actually love your color choices and the details in your stamping! I think the little one just has you too tired to appreciate your own work. :-) The room is looking so wonderful...what a oasis of calm!
