Cleaned out my craft room and finally made some cards!

I finally cleaned out my craft room because I just couldn’t sit at my table to create…it was just a mess! After a few days of organizing I got everything in its rightful place. Pictures of my craft room is at the very bottom of this post :).

My first card features a digital stamp from McMahon Five Designs called Wild Rose:

I played along with this week’s Stamping In Time challenge of tearing and used a wonderful quote by Cardinal Mermillod that can be found in the new Mom set from Our Daily Bread designs. I used my Cricut machine to cut out the flowers in two sizes, dampened them with water, scrunched, pinched and tore to distress them:

ODBD SCS SNT
