I cut some angled strips out of the yellow gingham paper, and punched a yellow circle, the cloud is Memory Box....
I reckon I could make about twenty cards a day for ten years, (not that I will of course, I'm a one a day kind of gal) and I will still have stacks and stacks of papers left. I need to weed them out and maybe donate some to a school. Has anyone got any bright ideas what I can do with them apart from wallpapering the whole house in a patchwork frenzy?
Have a great start to the weekend. See you tomorrow x
Wow, I'm impressed if you can make 20 cards a day. Like your sunny card
ReplyDeleteVery cute card.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to wittle down my stash this year too. Well as I say I'm planning, now if I really do it? We'll see.
I have a friend who runs a scrapping group for the families of babies in the NICU, I donate my extras there. Maybe you could check your local hospital and see if there are any groups like that. Schools are always good and senior homes might be able to use paper and supplies too.
I've got enough scraps, part used packs and odds and ends to make about 20 cards a day for the rest of my life too! And I know that if I were to sort it all out and give it away or (ouch) put it in the recycling, the very next day that paper I hadn't even looked at for 10 years will be the very one I NEED.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Enfys. Great way to use up scraps. I think I could supply my local craft shop with papers lol.

Hi Enfys,
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have a really wonderful 2014.
The card above is stunning, and so bright and chirpy, love it.
I hope that you have a fantastic day.
Love and best wishes.

Hello, Enfys,
ReplyDeleteI like you sunny card. I have several scaps too, and I don't make a card a day. I can imagine...
Have a nice weekend. I hope the bad weather is not affecting you.
Hugs,
Guida
Love your "scrappy" card. You could donate to a Senior Citizen Center.
ReplyDeleteVery sunny and cheerful card xx
ReplyDeleteI love your sunny birthday card.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a fun challenge working with scraps.
Hugs,

Very pretty card. Thank you so much for your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThink about donating some of the paper and supplies to a nursing home or some type of old folks home. I have found that they are always in need of art supplies.
Cute card!! I also have enough scraps to last a lifetime!! I believe your school idea is a perfect solution...or any establishment that have chilren daily & need to keep their cute little hands busy!!
ReplyDeleteI think we're all guilty of hoarding. I've just spent two days re-organising and tidying my craft room & intended to throw out anything I didn't think I would use. Guess what?? I'm gonna use it all :)) Pat x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card this is, it's so happy and cheerful and a super way to use up scraps. I really like that the sun rays are made from patterned paper. It's still looks like the sun, but with a unique twist which gives it added character.
ReplyDeleteAs to the extra scraps. I've done a few things with them ... taken extra supplies (along with old Cricuts I had) to local schools. I've gone to local child care centers for a day of crafting and left extra supplies. I've Gone to senior centers to do make-n-takes with them too, leaving them an extra Cricuts and craft supplies. [Yes, because of various crafting groups I've been in, I've managed to acquire both crafting supplies and a number of extra Cricuts, so it was time to share the love].
I've Given my extra stash of cards to hospitals and Soldiers and other various fund raising groups.
BTW, out of all the things I have done with my extra supplies, I found that the Seniors were more excited and appreciative than any other. Our seniors are so often forgotten, so every extra bit of attention and fun activity means the world to them. My heart really goes out to these special people. Perhaps it's because I am rapidly reaching that grand age of "senior" status myself?
Hmmm, Maybe a children's home would appreciate the papers etc. Or do you have them there? I like the idea of wall paper, but since we're living with a friend I don't think he'd appreciate coming home to a wall papered room! lol Especially as he spent so much time picking out paint colors when he moved in last year. lol Or you could send them to some of us. Or your equivalent to our girl scouts would probably like them too. Or even a children's hospital. Or... Post an ad that says to send you a card to ask for the left overs, and the best one gets the lot. Hmmmm well maybe not. Anyway...good luck. Hugs, Jess
ReplyDeleteNice cherry looking card.
ReplyDeleteThe card is SO pretty !! So bright and cheery! Another idea is for some smaller churches. My church can't really afford to supply much craft supplies so I have to take my own. Donations really help. I'm sure there are others like us !

I am glad that I found your blog again. I just wanted to tell you that I scrolled down the first page with lots of cards and the one that really grabbed me was the hydranga card. That is simply lovely. I have no idea how you made the flowers, but I loved it. There are many others just as wonderful. Thanks!
