Using up ... stuff! (part 1)
I've been making quite a few projects over the last few weeks and decided that I really must tidy up after myself. Once I had put things away, I was left with a pile of papers and card in different sizes. Normally I add these to my scrap boxes and then, if I'm honest, forget about them. Not this time ... I had a mini brain wave and before the idea disappeared, I grabbed a selection of sentiment stamps and created some sentiment toppers...
I even used up some green card bits and stamped leaf shapes and cut them out ready to use on different projects.
Feeling rather pleased with myself, I gathered together lots of left over printed embellishments and papers from different Polka Doodles collections ... mixed in with a few die cuts that I had left over from these projects ...
... and a box of pre-scored card blanks that I found in a basket in a wardrobe in the spare room ...
and decided to challenge myself to see how many cards I could make with just these items and believe it or not, I made 5, yep FIVE cards. I am so chuffed with myself because normally I would neatly squirrel these things away.
Card 1:
Card 2: yep, a CAS card .... normally unheard of from me!
Card 3: On a roll, another CAS card ...
The only thing extra I added from my original bits was some card candi (which I discovered at the back of the basket that held my card blanks) and some ribbon.
I will share my other two cards later as my pooch is now sitting with his head on my lap as I try and type, huffing and puffing at me, so I think he might be hinting that he would like a walk!
Catch you all later,
Lou
