Last night I was playing around with the faux silk technique that I saw on SCS last week.  It is very easy to do and the results are PRETTY!!!  I put glitter over the entire "silk" part, but I think tomorrow I am going to leave off the glitter.  It was very messy and I was having glitter anxiety :)  All I kept thinking about was Zain crawling through the glitter and then licking it off the floor.  He likes to lick the floor...I am not sure why though :)

SOOO back to stamping I used EMBRACE LIFE stamp set and I am LOVING it!  Thank you to Avril for letting me borrow it!  I also used 2 of the pearls in the PRETTIES KIT....YUP LOVE that too!!!  Oh man I have not played with stamps for a couple of weeks but now I am back!!!!  I think I got burnt out after the holidays and just needed some R&R.

Chris and I are also starting to redo my stamp room and I am very excited about this!!!!  It is going to take some time because I know what I want and I don't want to settle for anything less...So here is my first shelf that he put up.  This will hold 4 (hopefully 5 is I can find another one) 8 1/2 x 11 paper holders.  This will be great for all my SU colors and I will easily be able to see when I am running low on a color!!!!  Zain seems to like the shelf ;)
