Geometrical

Wow, the weeks really seem to fly by when you are working on a big home improvement project!  We are now in our third week of redoing our bedroom floors, which ended up being a complete bedroom makeover for the entire family. Today Easton (who is only 5!) helped me put my bed back together so I won't be sleeping on a mattress on the living room floor anymore! Woo hoo!  We are putting Easton and Talan's bunk beds back together tonight. Lucky Ducky Janae, who sleeps on a futon, got moved back in last night and her room is pretty much done except for wall accents. I will be glad when everything is complete and I can get back to my daily cardmaking!

Luckily, I just finished a round of Stamps in the Mail, so I have this card that I worked on for that for this week's Make Your Mark challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More!  Make sure you hop on over to see the beautiful creations by the rest of the design team!

I created my background by coloring with markers on a clear mount block and then spritzing it with water. This is my favorite way to create a fun and easy, yet colorful background!  I also used markers to color the Essentials Wooden Elements. I love these puppies! They look great naked, but are super easy to color also for a little extra coordination. :)

  3. I do like the soft, subtle background, has a really pretty watercolour effect. Great colours and I like the little chevrons!

    Hope the rest of the home improvement project goes well - certainly sounds like hard work! Take care!
