My Craft Room - Part Two - Dad's Albums Wall

I've completed another wall in my craft room; 

I call it "Dad's Albums Wall" because these are the albums 

my Dad had that I remember seeing as a child.

My father, Ed Romero, loved music,

especially instrumentals with guitar & wind instruments,

especially big brass bands

and he loved good sounding Country music.

He loved God, animals (he valued their innocence), music,

art & growing flowers (lilies were his favorite). 

So, this wall is dedicated to him.

This is the view I have when I'm on the side of my craft table

where I create cards or do some scrapbooking.

A beautiful reminder of all that I learned from this wonderful father that I had.

These are the albums from left to right:

The Randy Travis album is mine.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my Noah's Ark puzzle!

I had it professionally framed.

It's the coolest puzzle. 

I love documenting my craft room as changes are made.

I looked back on my craft room photos

and today's version is my favorite!

Have a wonderful & blessed weekend,

My Craft Room - Part One - My Favorite Colorings Wall

 Every wall in my Craft Room has art of some kind.

Today, I've just completed the wall of my favorite colorings.

Very colorful & cheerful!!

This is the view I have when I'm sitting at my craft table coloring.

One side of my table is strictly for coloring & the other for paper crafting.

What better view to see when I look up from coloring!

I mounted each coloring onto coordinating cardstock.

Some, as you can see, have two colors & others have just one.

This is the first grouping on the left side.

Pardon the lights casting on the glass.

A close up of my coloring titled "Cock of the Walk" by Ken Matsuda.

This is from Kerby Rosane's Worlds Within Worlds coloring book.

I titled it "Mushroom Patch Kremlin".

In the center of the wall are my floral bee & cow in flowers.

This is the grouping on the right side of the wall.

A few close ups from this grouping - 

1st is Ken Matsuda's cat which I titled "Garden Cat"

Next is Ken Matsuda's rabbit;

I titled it "Garden Rabbit"

Finally, I think the next two are by far my most favorites of all time.

Kerby Rosane's Worlds Within Worlds high top shoes.

I named this two page spread 

"High Top Shoe Houses"

With the wind blowing the leaves from the trees, 

I've colored some purple ones on the orange page

and orange ones on the purple page.

It was literally a two-page spread in the coloring book, 

so rightfully the leaves intertwine.

Decorating a craft wall is my most favorite thing to do!

Measuring; using a laser; deciding which ones go where...

So much fun!

Thanks for coming by today!

Have a blessed week,

Intricate Pattern 4-1-26

 This colorful intricate pattern was achieved by using only 7 colors!

Amazing how just a few can make a page like this!

What I loved about this intricate pattern is that

it has 4 identically patterned quadrants.

Repeating the colors exactly in each quadrant was fun.

Also, leaving white spaces helps with flow. 

The 7 colors that I chose to use are these:

Coloring is so relaxing.

I really enjoyed coloring this one.

Here are a few close ups.

Thanks for coming by!

Have a wonderful & blessed week.

Intricate Pattern 3-19-26

I've been working, off & on, on this one for months.

I had a lot of other things going on 

and mostly I just wasn't in the mood to color.

Just recently, I started up again and finished it in no time.

I chose to use all Kalour colored pencils.

Although this set isn't my favorite, 

it does have the most color variations to choose from.

These are the colors I used for this mandala-style pattern.

Thanks again for dropping by!

Have a blessed day,
