Stash Busting 2015 - I WILL use my mountains before buying more!

Thanks Birdie85


Good luck with the GNPE show. I would love to go but know that I would be just like a kiddy in a sweetshop and have no self control at all


Well I've managed to get a bit more crafting done today and can declare a further 30 items towards my total


This time I have made some butterfly pens which are basically cardboard butterflies attached to a glitter gel pen (from Poundland). They look nice though and will hopefully sell at my son's school mother's day fair on Friday


This means I have used up quite a bit of my card & paper scraps, some gems and double sided tape Not a great deal but I can definitely see the difference in my scrap box now


Happy stash busting everyone

Another 9 items made - hanging hearts using up wooden hearts, patterned paper, gems, paper string and double sided tape


A small dent in my stash but a bit more used none the less

I'm glad everyone is doing better... And hope the craft fayres pick up too...

I have covered a box for a mothers day prezzie - it was something my fella went to keep for me and I only allowed it as I knew i could use it straight away...

I am trying to not hoard 'stuff' that will just take up space and gather dust...

I will stick a few bits of tissue in it and then boom! done.

Wow, everyone's going so well! I hope the fayres are successful.

I am currently working on spome felt Halloween bunting that I have been asked to make, pics when I can.

Hi all,


I need that mentality nimbo as I am forever squirriling bits away in my craft room to turn into something


PixieDust - can't wait to see the Halloween bunting - sounds amazing


I can declare a further 2 makes today - Mother's Day Card's for my lovely mum and my MIL. I used a free embossing folder I got with a magazine yonks ago and had never used before now on two craftwork cards scalloped card bases. I added die cut flowers and leaves made from my scrap card box and then added sentiments from Craftwork Cards sheets I have also had for donkey's. I finally added glitter glue dots as a finishing touch. Not much stash used but again better then buying new and moving in the right direction


Happy stash busting everyone

2 frames made last night, so another 6 things from the total! Still need to make 2 Mother's Day cards, will do that tonight!

As much as I like using up my stash, anyone else get a little panicky about using the last of something?!

PixieDust

Today's make.....using 14 strips from a jellyroll and two fat quarters

PixieDust

The first quarter of the Halloween bunting flags.....fourrepeats of each. I've had to order the bias binding for hanging

PixieDust

Zipped pouch made from a Cath Kidston pattern

PixieDust

zippered pouch, as promised. This has now been snaffled by a friend!
