Hi everyone! I am super happy to report that the driveway, walkway and garage floor is DONE! Man, it feels good to have it complete. AS IN DONE, nothing lingering on like with the kitchen (update, my contractor is coming next Wednesday to complete the last little things, whew).
Wanna see pics of the BIGGEST RUBBER STAMP EVER? Check this out. We opted for a concrete stain and stamp along the border of the driveway and continue it on to the walkway. SUPER COOLIO!
The big blue thing on the left is the stamp, sorry for the shadows, it was super sunny this day!
Here are some
before pictures to let you know what we lived with for 7 years.
And alas... here it is now!
I can't wait to put back my porch bench, decorative planters and spruce it up with new landscaping!!
I also have a card to share today. This one uses a couple of Verve's new release sets,
Great Friend and
Happy Hello. I love how versatile the flower blossoms are in
Great Friend. You can use the outline image for paper piecing OR for a delicate flower outline like I did here. And of course, Julee never misses a beat with the layering options with her flowers.
My layout is from Taylor's sketch (
TESC125) from last week.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend.
