craft room--finishing up

 Here are updated photos of my craft room.  So far, I have done a few projects and worked some every day and I have managed to clean up after myself EVERY time!  Amazing.  See if you can spot the changes to the decor. 
 First, the clock needed a makeover.  I used the EK circle cutter and my Stampin' Up circle punches.  By the way, this circle cutter works great--it is still a bit tricky to use just like all circle cutters.  BUT it will probably be replaced by my "new" Cricut which cuts circles even better!  The paper colors I used for the clock are a little too pastel, but the paper has some sparkle to it, which I like.  And, YES, I can still tell the time--it's quarter to the multi-flower circle!

Ah...love my Cricut!  This was an old cupboard front I picked up at Habitat for Humanity for a few bucks.  I added fabric rosettes to cover up the hole where the knob was and cut out *LOVE* using my Cricut.       



I decided I should actually display a few projects in my craft room!  Hand print trees and 3 photos I took last fall.  See the close-up below.  I uploaded the photos to Picnik and chose the sketch feature.   I printed them at home and then used my Stampin' Up ink spots and craft sponge to add color.  I love to look at these on the wall as I work.  Picnik has lots of free options for editing your photos--it's really fun to experiment with your photos on this site. 


 Two more make-overs:
 
Our old coat rack turned ribbon holder.
                
I recovered my plain bulletin board using fabric, spray adhesive and upholstery brads.
