A Potting Bench!



 Laura’s first MIM video.....Of course Laura’s card is gorgeous!



 The card above is what I made using my extra paste, and I added chunky glitter.



 I thought I would share with you what my husband made for me for my birthday... All I did was show him This picture  I saw on pinterest.  Its was made to fit in this small nook of the North side of the house, next to the garden beds he also made .  I love it!




For the card below, I wasn’t  happy with the color of my paste, so I added glitter. The glitter looks great in person.

 I love Papertrey Inks Make It Mondays! I almost never miss making a card and I learn so many fun ways to use the tons of products I have. Thanks PTI!!!
I have one more card I made using the stripes , I will post it another time. 
Thanks for stopping by. 
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

  5. Two great cards, Marybeth. Great idea to use the extra paste on another card. I used smaller amounts and almost didn't have enough paste to cover the whole thing but it worked out in the end.

  28. I bet all the other husbands would like to tell Oscar to knock it off...none of them can keep up with what a fabulous husband he is! I can only imagine Warren trying to put together a little potting station for me...that would be quite a day! Love what you have done with molding paste...especially with all that glitter!

  29. Oh I love that you used the Text Plate die - very creative and the glitter would be perfect!

  33. Brilliant idea to add glitter...looks like the folks at PTI thought so, too. :) And I don't know what I was expecting when you said Oscar was building you this for your birthday, but I was totally blown away when I saw the pictures! Please tell him he is absolutely amazing! I think it's a good thing we don't live close because if we did, I'd want to spend lots of time with you and and learn from both your talents....of course that would all have be to be after we actually met. :)
