New Years Resolution - to use up those crafting bits and pieces!

Like many, I am guilty of hording all sorts of little crafting bits and bobs in the hope they will come in useful one day! I have 8 drawers full of of paper plus other drawers of ribbons, flowers, stickers and other embellishments. Despite my best endeavours - they never seem to decrease!


So, I got out this mix of bits and set to work - whilst I didn't use them all up, at least it is a small dent in the stash now, plus some cards to go to raise funds for local charities

.
and as a bonus I also made 2 ATC's for swapping as well!

  2. Wonderful start to using your bits up. I started using mine a couple of months or so ago and I haven't even made a dent in my hoard LOL.
    Happy New Year to you and yours :o)

  8. Craft hording? That sounds familiar. I also seem to be building up more and more stush around me.

    I like your New Year's resolution and the cards you have created.

  10. I too am guilty of having a stash of stuff and not using it and I like your idea of getting a hand full of items out to use to make a card. Think I am going to do just that tonight.
    Lovely cards as well, the kitty card is my favourite one x
