Creatin' with Kirsteen

What to do with a curved wall?

We are blessed to have a really beautiful house

.....with a big sweeping staircase,

something I always dreamed about having

- very 'Gone with the wind'.

The problem is, having that sweeping staircase means that we have several

walls that are curved.

And, so, what do you about those?

Stampin' Up! Decor Elements are a great solution!

This is The Tree from

"Thoughts & Prayers"

(#116004)

detree

You can't really see this as well as I had hoped, but it is just over

4 ft by 3 ft! So, it fills this curved wall in the Guest bathroom.

I added the

"Directions of Your Dreams"

(#116078)

to the side of the tree.

It says (with tongue in cheek humour, remember it is in the restroom!)

"Go Confidently

in the direction of your dreams"

Hahahaha!

Houston Paper Divas

6" x 6" Book Swap

Houston Paper Divas swap this month was a 6"x6" book.

We could do anything we want - as long as we made it for the person whose

name we picked out of the hat.

The name I picked was Patty!

Now - I am a subtle colour person - but Patty likes bold stuff. And, I struggled.

I eventually choose some designer paper form a pack I purchased at a local store

- not SU this time.

With it came butterflies and flower embellishments.

I added a few Stampin' Up! retired and non retired bits 'n' pieces,

and here is what I ended up with

- or, Patty ended up with!!

This is the front.

With a pull out tab for jounaling or a picture.

With space for a picture and a tab, that opens with a concertina for pictures and jounaling.

My Digital Studio

Vacation Page 1: Rafting the American River.

With over 1500 photos of our vacation this month, I HAVE to make a start on a photobook.

This part of our vacation was a wonderful experience!

And this photograph brings a smile to my face - and memories of that

FREEZING water hitting me as we went in to 'The Troublemaker'!

I hope I can get at least one page completed each day!

Well, THAT is what I am aiming for!

And, I will have a 3 hour flight to Salt Lake City on Monday to complete some too.

I love our new Framelits in the Occasions Mini Catalog!

And, the Everyday Enchantment Designer paper

which is FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-bration!

So, today I am using them on a number of projects.

If you would like to order these items, they are listed

at the bottom of the page.

This is my first project

- a simple heart baggie with room for a few chocolates,

or 4 little 3x3 notelets.

4cardskgill

Then, a card to match.....

I used the stamp set "Take It To Heart"

stamped on vellum with versamark ink

then embossed with white embossing powder.

The little flowers are made using the

Itty Bitty Punch pack.

Have you purchased Febreze Luminaries?

The ones with the square base that you change the

smelly insert at the top, and when you push the insert down

the thing lights up?

I never remember to go purchase new inserts when they are done....

so, I decided to make use of one today,

and make my own luminary.

light1kgill

light2kgill

light3kgill

And here it is lit...

lightlitkgill

Oh - and I thought since the card

was made with velum too, that I could

pop a little battery candle in it.....

Here is a list of the products I used today:
