Still here!

Just a quick post to say hello! Have been ill with the lurg but and now better. Have been making tons of cards - just need to photograph them in a decent light!! See you soon!

Use-It-Up again!!

Bits and bobs from m DCWV Glitter and neutral stacks.

The decoupage fairy is from a new kit I bought from Ideal World - 10 sheets decoupage fairies, backing papers, stickers, cards and loads more for less than £10!  I think these will go down well with the kids at the school fair.

More monochrome with DCWV glitter stack!
I really am having a problem throwing away the tiniest scraps now!! I'll just make smaller cards!!

Use-It-Up Lemons and Lilacs!

If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you'll know how much I love my Flavia 'Lemons and Lilacs' papers. There's no way I throw even the smallest scraps away - the tiniest pieces can be used for a greeting and put onto mirri card! I just love the freshness of the colour combinations. So here are some cards I've made with bits and pieces. I've still got a 12x12 and 8x8 pad left so you'll be seeing these for years to come!!

Use-It-Up some more!

I found some 'friendly' rub ons, so decided to use them on a couple of cards. I'm now working on the theory that a bit of mirri card and a bloom or two are the easiest way to finish off a simple card!! It's all down to the colour co-ordination!! It also means that I'm using up more of my least favourite flowers, ribbon ends and embellishments! 

More 'Use-It-Ups'

Here I am in pink mode!! I'm really enjoying the challenge of using up scraps to make cards. I'm also getting through my supply of old peel offs and stickers. The master plan is to use it all up so I can start buying stash again which is more 'me' as crafter now and not several years ago. The cards I don't keep to send myself or to give as gifts, will either go to sell at school for the kids stall at the summer fair or to the charity shop.
