This is supposed to be about using up OLD stuff isn't it? So could someone please tell me why I ended up in Hobbycraft yesterday buying NEW things? For a start, this prompt was about transparencies. I have none. Even if I did, I'm not sure that I would be able to fashion them into anything attractive. So I found myself looking at vellum. Oh, here's a pretty one, the design on it reminds me of the circular window in the Notre Dame in Paris. Oh, I have a photo of that at home .... Oh my goodness, look at that pretty butterfly cutter. Lots of people have used butterfly cutters on their pages and I could really use one of those. Oh look, and here's a pair of scissors with a curved scallop edge to them, that would look good round the circular print on the vellum. And so, here is my page using (ahem) lots of things I already had - like purple card stock, photo of me in front of Notre Dame taken on my 50th birthday, silver ink pen ... and a couple of new bits :-)
Oh dear....slapped wrist....but I must confess some Tim Holtz stamps on Ebay forced me to bid for them...but, of course, they're not really stash cause they'll last forever!!!!
ReplyDeletelove it, love it, love it, great layout.So when are you getting that tote ??lol xx :-))
ReplyDeleteIt was worth it - what a fab layout :-) And I thought the point of the class was to clear space for new supplies? ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I went to Michael's to buy art supplies, and it took all my will power not to buy one of those fabulous border punches! I was actually very good.
