Today is a new "Twisted Sketch" Saturday..YAAY!! I know I know, settle down papercrafters, I'm almost there:) Today is sketch #38 and the twist is chipboard. Now you all know how I love to play with chipboard and alter it. Somehow I ended up taking the mild road with it this time.
Here's my take on the sketch:
I even played with a tighter stitch on my card this time (trying something other than zigzag) and I like it.
Don't you just love all the bling and glitz? I do ^_^For the flower, I stamped it on some pink cardstock, and enhanced the color using my Sakura glitter pens. I painted the chipboard frame with acrylic paint and I used crackle medium for the crackle effect. For this card I didn't use so much of a sentiment, but created it as a basic card for any use.
Products used: Papertrey Ink card stock; Vintage Pink Pattern paper; Martha Stewart floral stamp; Pearls; Chipboard; Martha Stewart glitter; Acrylic paint/Crackle Medium; Florish; Cricut machine for the die cuts and of course my sewing machine.
Hop on over to the Twisted Sketches blog and be inspired.

Home decor...yes I'm at it again. I'm still working on trying to make my living room feel all warm and cozy (not to be confused with cluttered and over crowded).
No one really sits in our living room but me, can't understand why it's called a "living" room when no one likes to be in there..lol. My living room is my space of solititude, where I can curl up with a book and read to my hearts desire **BTW: Kimberla Lawson Roby's new book will be released in January 2011!!** When I'm in the living room, somehow my kids and hubby don't bother me...like they don't see me even. It's my comfort zone for sure. A great book, my throw and a little jazz playing in the background and I'm GREAT!
Right now the issue is (1) I'm waiting on the hubster to build my sofa table (2) I would love to have the sofa and chairs reupholstered and (3) something is just missing...modern decor. I've looked at maybe adding more pillows to the decor, I'm just not sure what angle to take. We've also thought of adding a wall mounted fireplace, being that our home does not have a fireplace. I think that's a great way to cozy up a room, I love a fireplace and actually miss having one. I've been looking through the Modern Decor site and loving everything I see, trying to get an idea of what I want to fill my living room space. I think once Don build my sofa table, I'll know which direction I want to go from there. I do love when he create pieces for our home, then I can build upon it (decor wise) from there.

In the meantime, I'm in the mood for a give-a-way...how does a $45 gift code sound? I'm going to give a $45 gift code to one lucky winner to be used at Modern Decor. Go take a look at what they have to offer..home decor, furnishings, etc..so much to see and like.
The give-a-way: All you have to do is leave me a comment, tell me what inspires your home decor, what would you do to create a warm and cozy not too busy room.
