The Shabby Tea Room - Week #21!


I can hardly believe that we are already up to week #21 in The Shabby Tea Room!  It has gone by so quickly and I can hardly believe my six months as a Shabby Girl are almost finished.  This week's challenge is brought to us by our fearless leader, Debbie, who found this {lovely}, shabby birdhouse photo.  She would like us to use the picture as the inspiration for a card or project created with soft blue, cream and brown for the color scheme:


This week's sponsor in the Tea Room is JetPens and I had so much fun using the Copic Spica atyou Micro Glass Glitter pens on my project.  I used the clear pen as well as Buttermilk and Garnet (which looks like chocolate on my card!)  This week's winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to go shopping on the JetPens website - so much fun!



I have been *attempting* to make some CAS cards lately and this week's sketch over at the Sweet Stampin' Challenge is fairly simple so I thought I'd use it for this week's card.  I also had VERY little time to put this one together - we've been so busy around the yard and trying to repurpose an old shed into a chicken coop that my crafting time has been EXTREMELY limited.


Stamps: {I Heart} Little Paper Shop  Ink: Chocolate Chip  Paper: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, SU! DSP  Accessories: Paper piercer, Copic atyou glitter pens, Copic markers, Chocolate Chip satin ribbon, button, hemp twine, dimensionals
Here's a little detail shot of my {blinged up} birdhouse:
