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

Bubblepops

Hi-I'm still here! Had wonky wifi issues, and am 10 days overdue, so not much crafting going on, other than crafting my grumpiness!!

Going to try and get so e crafting in tomorrow if I can, not feeling very creative ATM. I have, however, been creating some files on my computer ready for cutting, so that will use some of my paperstash.

Looks like people are motoring on with their destashing!

Well done, everyone!

I'm hoping to be back on track, now that I've finished all the wedding stationery.

This morning I got my 3 Easter cards made up (remember I bought those wee cross stitch kits) - just in time. I used up cards & envelopes, stickers, tape and ink as well, so I'm counting 3 towards my target.

Oh, and I used up thread making this bunting for the wedding thank you photocards! So that's another 1 busted - I'm counting it because I finished off a reel of thread .

The colour isn't showing up properly; it's teal and ivory, with ivory lace lettering.

Keep busy!

No more makes to declare but I did find those pesky patterns in amongst some books on my shelf clevely hidden as they were so skinny.
Yay!!!!!
Haha I need to iron some fabric now - not looking forward to it a one has a review as being a nightmare pattern to make as such poor instruction and I had planned to use that one first as a novice sewer.... Hmmmmmm

I'm back again! 3 more cards made. I only needed one, but making another 2, I finished off the topper sheet (and used some more adhesive, gems, paper flowers, card, envelopes etc. )

Gorgeous cards, Greentiger

Some simple bookmarks x 8 made. Another pair of fingerless gloves made too. :beer:

greentiger

did you post a pattern for the fingerless gloves, Hoipolloi? Or was it someone else? I'll have to have a rummage through this thread to find it.

Anyway, 2 more cards made from stash.

Found a whole unopened pack of decoupage sheets (not really my thing - no idea why I bought them) when I was looking for inspiration for my friend's retirement card. This one reflects her zaniness and carefree spirit.

The next is a wedding card for my son and future DIL. It's a bit different from usual. She lost her parents as a teenager and she still misses them every day (she's 33 now). The wedding will take place at the same venue as her parents chose. I managed to get a pic of her parents on their wedding day for this special project and used the same card as I used for the wedding stationery.
