Clear Out

I had a major tidy up and clear out just before Christmas of all my craft stash - finding things I'd forgotten I had, didn't realise I had or just did not use any more.  One of those that I'd forgotten about was two silk Gerber flowers, one of which I've used on this card:

I've used Craft Asylum papers which I got in the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (my early Christmas present as bought in the Black Friday sale), adding a faux running stitch around the edge with a Sakura White Gelly Roll pen.  I've made the bunting and slightly curled the edges.  Waxed string and brads are from my stash (again, found the brads in the tidy up!)

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted however the word dies are now retired and no longer available.

I'd like to enter the following:

Get A Load Of This!!!

You can imagine how exited I was when Lynsey said she had another (oh yes!) BIG bag of stuff for me - result of a major craft room tidy up. She dropped the bag off on Friday afternoon before we and the collective kids went to a play area. I had to wait until the boys were in bed before I could have a look at what she'd given me.

This is how the bag (heavy) arrived

And this is some of what was inside:

Big Thank You to Lynsey for all this - much appreciated!

New Pad

See how good I am at attempting to use up all my bits and bobs? Thing is, it will take me a month of Sundays to use the lot - I think the box is like a Tardis and I always find something in there that I've forgotton I had......

Anyway. New Pad cards! Hand cut and chalked lilly pad, cuttlebug daisies (I think they are the asterix dies) folded in half to sort of resemble a lilly. Sizzix frogs in dark green and pale green and also chalked. Backgrounds from FunkyHand ATC's backing paper cd's (I printed that many off for the Dino-Sore cards I had to use them on another project!)

Available to buy in my little shop!
