Okay, so I showed you the “tools” that made me start re-thinking my studio space, now I want to show you some of the “fun” that made me want to change the look as well.

This a mobile from IKEA. I’ve had it for years, and it’s a great example of the celestial themed items I’ve been collecting for awhile. Why a celestial or sun, moon, stars theme? Well, it just seems natural with Stamper Heaven, The Angel Company, and Divine Design Team.

Then there’s this gorgeous fabric! I just LOVE the design, not to mention the yummy colors!!! I went to JoAnn’s over the Winter Break looking for a tote bag; fabric wasn’t even on my mind. They had their “themed” prints HALF OFF, and because I bought the end-of-the-bolt, it was discounted even more! So, how could I resist?!

The studio re-do is getting close, even though we’ve had a couple of hiccups. (Word to the wise; don’t start a painting project in January during a cold snap!) The Spring semester starts in two days, so the race is on!

Check back for more updates on my studio re-do…

When I found these cute little cupcakes at the store, I knew I just had to make a card using the same color scheme!

So, here’s a fun birthday card using The Angel Company stamp sets Happy Thoughts (T-3136) and Little Cupcake (R-2038).

The cardstock is Bazzill purple, Premium White, Black, and the pattern paper is a retired TAC.

Ink is Noir Black Palette, markers are Tombow, and I used Orange Peel and Crystal Stickles Glitter Glue.

Here’s a better angle to show the sparkle of the Stickles on the cupcake. You can also see a little of the sparkle on the patterned paper. The Marvy Scalloped Circle Punch and Pop-Dot help the cupcake to really stand-out!
