front door...

I'm so happy today, as I'm heading into the final stretch of my spring cleaning.  My door is ADORABLE....it's the perfect color of red...it says, "welcome home", "come on it", "this is a happy home".  The color is in fact called, "front door"....I'll have to take a picture or two.  We planted our pansies, daisies, and happy little marigolds at about 8:00 in the evening the other night....it was too windy during the day, so we went out late, late, and planted under the moonlight...it was so much fun.  My husband gabbed with the neighbors (my boy can TALK I tell you...he's definitely the chit chatter in our relationship), my little one watered the newly planted flowers, and it was just a perfect night for us.

Today I have a simple hello card for you....using up some KRAFT :) and some of my most favorite stamps from Hero Arts.  They are our sponsor on the CPS blog this week and I am just tickled to be able to participate....LOVE HERO ARTS :)    This card makes me smile this morning....as does this picture of my dream laundry room...

 I'm just a smidgin' bold in the colors I love in my house...and for some crazy reason, my husband let's me do whatever....but I adore this happy place pictured above...gonna store this away in my mind for a bit....cute little nook for those darned dirty socks, eh?

It's back to work I go....hope you have a bit of sunshine today wherever you might be :)

Absolutely lovely. For some reason this card doesn't strike me as a "Melissa" card but it is great and I love it.
Wow!!! What a laundry room, huh? Having a room like that may make me more willing to actually do the laundry hehehe

Melissa - your card is such a happy one and fills me with joy. I can't wait to see your front door. I've always wanted a red door and black shutters for the windows.

Such an adorable card, and I just love that laundry room, who couldn't enjoy doing laundry in such a cheerful room.. LOL!

[Susan Tidwell]

Your card is gorgeous, as always. And what a dreamy laundry room - I'd never mind doing laundry there! Filing it away for future reference too.
Thanks.

Cute laundry room!! Now I want a rug in mine!!! Why not have something soft to stand on eh?
Glad you posted this inspiration for you, it's now one for me!
(And I'm currently doing things to make my laundry room cuter! Perfect timing)

Great laundry room. I recently painted mine a nice bright shade of sky blue, with white accents. Hoping it would make me love laundry. Then I made nice striped pedestals. Hoping it would make me love laundry. Ahem, hasn't worked yet. :O)

And a fantastic card too!

[Alyssa B]

beautiful!

[Lisa]

I love that you painted your front door red. My kitchen is red and I love it! And I would love that laundry room too...it's too bad my laundry room is in my dark, musty basement! LOL Have a wonderful Easter!

[Lisa]

I have torn out and saved that same laundry room photo. It's darlin' isn't it?

[Molly]

Your card, is, of course, gorgeous, Melis! And that laundry room, see, I might actually do clean laundry to just be in there. ;)

[Pearl Maple]

As always your creative work is beautiful and that laundry well doesn't that make you just want to get in there and get some stuff done!

Happy Easter to you.

[Dana]

Thanks for sharing your card, I love those bright colors you used. Happy Easter!!

[Vicki]

I would actually enjoy doing laundry in that room!!

Lovely card!

Where in the US are you, Melissa? We are nowhere near planting in these parts! :)

[Jennifer Scull]

Have a happy Easter! :)

Darling card Melissa. Full of fun details and colors!

Love the laundry photo. Our home is FULL of red! Walls, furniture, shelves, baubles, orbs, floral arrangements, picture frames, window coverings, lamps, blah blah blah.....I'm not sure when I really started loving to use it so much. Maybe my curiousity for faux painting drove me to try new styles? I think I've fauxed almost every room in our home. lol. I'm intriqued by the fact that you can make paint look like wall paper. W/o the hassle!! For the first several years of our marriage our home was shabby and victorian. People used to say our home looked like a craft shop. lol. I haven't heard that for a long time. Due to the fact that I've redecorated everything in the last 3 years. Now it finally looks like a male lives here too! :)

I guess I've wrote a small novel today....I hope it doesn't bore you all to tears!!! O:

Hi Melissa! Please do post a picture of your door! And your flowers! It sounds like such a fun evening! The laundry room is awesome and now I'm thinking on doing a little work on mine! By the way, I read your interview on MoxieFab World yesterday, followed the link to Country Living and ended up subscribing. Did you know they are giving away a free Stampin' Up stamp and ink spot when you subscribe? BONUS! :-) Have a joyous day!

[Danielle]

I can't wait to see your door! Please do post it! I wish I could see your whole house, I bet it's gorgeous just like the things you create. That first card just makes me so happy! A little burst of sunshine.
Hugs,
dani
