Using Up Crafty Stash

Hello everyone.

Well this year I am determined to make some of my crafty creation's 'using up crafty stash'. 

I'm sure we all do it, buy lot's of crafty goodies and think I'll use them later!

So, here are a few cards I made last week using a scrapbooking kit that I bought quite a few years ago.

It is quite a nice feeling knowing that I'm going to TRY and use up lot's of my crafty stash....there is that much though it will take a life time lol.

Now, time to go browsing for more crafty goodies haha.

Happy crafting.

Lot's of love

Petal Lu Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello lovelies!

I can't believe we are in December already. This year has just flown by. It's a busy time at  work for me, I do enjoy the Christmas rush. I have to confess though that I've hardly made any Christmas cards except for design team ones! It's a time thing...eek!

Anyway so as usual, the challenge theme is anything goes.

So, I've made a quick and simple Christmas Card using one of the gorgeous trio stamp sets from Lili of the Valley. I've used the beautiful Petal Lu flower at the top of each stamp.
