I think I got a little bit carried away

 





I decided it was time to use up the stash I have been collecting and not using over the years. I'm sure a lot of you crafters out there know only to well what I mean. A number of years ago I bought several Hunkydory Little Books. Of course, when they are on offer you have to buy the three for two even if you're not sure and don't really need it anyway.  Then you need the precut mirri toppers as well to save you time. So 144 sheets in a book times 3 books comes to rather a lot of cards.  I had used the odd image out of the books and the rest were just languishing in the cupboard.

This weeks challenge was to make a card using each image. Each book has 36 different images in it. I've kept them very simple. A 7 x 5 card blank with a mirri topper and an image on the front. They have been left blank so they can be personalised individually. 

Of course, quite what I am going to do with them is a different matter altogether. A number of them will be used for family and friends. I'm finding these days that people, particularly the younger generation, don't send cards. 




These are just a couple of the male orientated cards I made. Each week I'll be adding more cards to the blog. Next week's will be female orientated cards.

New Year New Me

 


 

                                        New Year New Me

After almost 2 years of not blogging its time to start again. The last 10 months have been very challenging  and its given us time to think about whats important to us as individuals. 

My mojo has been missing for most of that time and I've found it very hard to craft, despite having a lot of time on my hands. 

Initially I wasn't so sure about Memory Books when they were released, however, I have now made quite a few new baby books.  Perhaps that's where I start by showing the various books I've made.

I now have most of the Tonic Memory Book dies and I use NitWits Paper Collection kits to decorate the interiors.

I have also had a sort out in the my craft stash and uncovered supplies, kits I'd forgotten about. So time to start using them too.
