Another card with upcycled bits


Similar to the one shown previously, this card was made with another part of the Boots free gift box (the box was an expanding one, so there were lots of pieces to it), once again mounted on to a hot pink card blank, with added sentiments.


This is for:

Make my Monday 72: go green - upcycle
Everybody art 427: recycle
Little red wagon 449: a rose by any other name
Ike's world 109: anything goes/June is busting out all over

Too good to waste


A few weeks ago I had a free gift from Boots ... buy two or three No. 7 make up items and received a box of goodies. The goodies were quite good ... but, to a crafter, the box was very appealing, as I cut it up and used it to make three cards - this is the first one - the roses were cut from one part of the box and the embossed black diamond pattern with roses from another part - mounted on to a hot pink card blank, with sentiments added.

A simple card for a purrfect birthday wish. I can't remember where the lovely cat came from - I've had him in my stash for ages - added the gems and bow and mounted on some PDA card and craft paper, with the sentiment generated on my dymo letratag.

Rose with lace


This is similar to the previous card shown, but this time I've only used the left hand side of the rose stamp by Magenta, heat embossed and coloured with spectrum noir sparkle pen, mounted on to hot pink and black and then on to the hot pink card blank, with the black lace rub on.

Simply roses


This is a card I made some time ago using the beautiful large rose stamp by Magenta. I stamped, heat embossed with black powder and coloured with a spectrum noir sparkle pen (shame that the photo doesn't show the sparkle). I cut into four pieces and mounted on to an offcut of black card. The background of the hot pink card blank was randomly stamped with a little rose stamp I've had for years and heat embossed with black powder.

What's on your workdesk? Wednesday 470


It seems ages since I've linked to WOYWW. So this is for today's WOYWW 470. It's difficult these days to find much time to craft and I've been trying over quite a period of time to really sort my craft stuff, free up some space by giving some stuff away that I know I'm not going to use. I've almost finished sorting everything and labelled quite a few of my boxes, but need to finish this task ... I never quite get that far, which I find frustrating because I like everything to be organised.

Quite a lot of my time is taken up caring from John, including regular hospital visits, some of which take all day because of having to have hospital transport both ways, which involves quite a lot of waiting around, so crafting does have to be fitted in as and when ...very difficult at times.

I thought I'd show some of my craft room now, including my desk.

On the left, some cards that were made a while ago - need to be blogged. On the right, some labels ready to go on boxes, a pile of things to give away. In the corner is our freezer (small kitchen and wanted a dishwasher, so freezer is in here, but is hardly noticeable. I haven't got the Shreddies box in here for breakfast - it's to house my paper rubbish for recycling.




My trolleys of Really Useful Boxes - some still need labelling:




Inside a cupboard:



Handy little trolley:


Inside the bottom of a wardrobe: - the drawers are full of boxes:


I'm off now to explore what everyone else is showing today for WOYWW 470 - if you haven't done already, why not take a few photos and show what's on your desk today.
