Inspiration from tidying my room

 Hi there , thanks for calling in . 

My craft afternoon has been one of the best because it began while attacking a messy desk .

Well, have you ever started to tidy your craft space, only to find that you have unearthed so long forgotten treasures .Images ,cut outs and  little snippets from older magazines and images that you printed out because at the time you thought were just right for a project that you had intended to begin straight away?

Of course you have . As a true crafter / card maker , scrapbooker , thats just what one does .       Isn't it?...........Gee, I hope someone, somewhere said, "of course". 

Any way ..

The paper ,on my messy desk,  had been left over  from a 12"x12" thicker  paper and I trimmed it to create a 12.5cm square card. The floral embellishments came from a freebie sheet  in a magazine pack,while the sentiment came from an ephemera pack from SU."Saying Something" .

You will find those on page 19 in the current  SU catalogue.

I adhered  all the pieces with foam dots . Now , looking at this

 make ,I am wondering if the striped background suits the floral embellishments .

Still , I will leave it because I like it ......

OH and I did add a little Wink of Stella on some of the flowers ..

That is my afternoon crafting session and Blog entry  completed . 

I hope that you have enjoyed the read and can relate to the finding of sweet treasures  on your desk .

Catch you again soon , cheers for now ,Shirley-Anne.

'Just For You ' card

                             

                         Purpose and Meaning 

                            From a book of Lasting Friendship

                    The way you get meaning into your life 

                        is to devote yourself to loving others ,

                         devote yourself to your community around you ,

                         and devote yourself to creating something

                         that gives you purpose and meaning . 

Hello to you and to you .Thanks for calling in. Please let me know that you have popped in by leaving a comment and I will be sure to visit you too .I hope that you enjoy browsing through my posts .

As a full time carer for my hubby I can sometimes go for days without being in my craft room . 

        I am sharing a card made recently to make into a kit to share with friends Sandy and Jane .

     Oh dear, I am sooo out of practice   with adding pictures . But still you can see that it is a simple creation . A tent fold card 11cm x 14.8cm. A white card base. A pretty floral paper cut to size added at the top 11cm .I then added a green 1cm strip under that .

The next bit was a little tricky as I wanted to embossed the last 

4.8 cm  which included the green strip . Luckily I found in my stash a narrow embossing folder of tiny hearts which served me well . I also found a preprinted sentiment circle which I adhered to some scrap green card and punched a larger circle   adding to the card with foam dots .

Well that is it for now as the card will go into my stash . 

Enjoy your day and be happy .

                Catch you again soon , cheers for now . Shirley-Anne
