Sticking to the Plan

Two months and so far (apart from a few special cards) I have stuck to the plan of using left-over, off-cuts and any old stash I need to use up.  I can see a small dent but to be honest I think its going to take me a couple of years to make a real impression.  I have a big draw full of scraps I cannot bear to throw away (“too big to waste”, “so unusual and I am sure the right project will come along”, and of course “I know its only a small bit but its too pretty to go in the bin”).  I know most crafters are just like me – they hoard things lol.

So this week has been charity cards and I also used some more of the dreaded shaped cards I still have a load of these left, not something I like doing much, although I was quite pleased with the ones I made this time. So I will start with those, all approximately 8″ x 8″ so quite big cards

a couple of inserts from hunkydory  sets, a free cut out from mag, some stickers from back in the dark ages.

a wallpaper sample (when hubby is looking for diy stuff I raid the wallpaper section) and the lioness was cut out of a magazine.

The next ones are much smaller.  I will not share all I made but here are a few of the ones I personally like best.

I will also share with you this weeks disaster.  Thanks to storm Doris, next doors wall got blown over, but it was my plants that suffered

But there is good news too.  Whilst I have been chatting on here, I received a telephone call to inform me my new glasses were ready.  A whole week before the holiday :0) – so I am off to collect them and guess who is going to be stitching later today.

Hugs to all
