Did I ever have fun with MY Elvis! He's popped in to my blue~green drawing room to plead for Peace. What a handsome fella. Kathleen over in the Falliday challenge issued a 'Blue Christmas' for cards. I added as many blue hues as I possibly could. And Shirley brought us 'Back to the Future' in this weeks Free for All. To use clocks, trains, time travel.
It's been forever since I've decorated a room. I couldn't resist using my fainting couch...that's what I'd be doing if Elvis materialized in MY living room! I used several patterns from the MME 'Handsome' papers for the 'carpet', walls, and that to faint for couch. The windows were stamped and embossed with Sea Foam white ep. I fussy cut the window panes and placed a starry sky...'could it have been 'stars were in my eyes'. The antique clock is from my stash. love that tea cup brad.
Thanks to both Kathleen and Shirley for encouraging me to have a Blue Future...

Susan, what a wonderful room you have decorated. I love the hues of blue, the fab windows and the clock with a cup. There is so much to take in. You even have baseboards. Wow, you thought of everything. Thank you, for playing the F4A challenge today.
