Long may it last!

I have spent the morning very productively!!!  A few days ago I was gifted a two drawer filing cabinet from a young man on Freecycle.....what a brilliant organisation!  
So this morning I have bought 50 files for £20 and sorted all my Stampin'Up card stock into them.  
So for just £20 my card stock is immediately accessible and stored safely away.
                          I am sure you will agree that it looks most impressive.


The only problem is that I now have to find somewhere to put the filing cabinet!!!
I hope your day is equally  productive and satisfying.

Happy crafting.  Mandy

Apologies


Add caption
It is such a long time since I have written anything on my blog, for which I apologise.

Last month, we had two all day classes at a cost of £16 per person.  All participants received the Stampin'Up Bright Blossoms Stamp Set and materials to make five cards.

An example of two of the cards we made is on the right, along with the decorated envelopes.

Hope to update the page more regularly now I have some free time!!!

Happy Crafting, Mandy

Craft and Chat

On Saturday 23rd I paid my first visit to the Craft and Chat club in Lincoln.   What a lovely way to spend a chilly Saturday.

Under the direction of Tina we made a "Theatre Card".  Whilst everyone's card was very different, they turned out really well.  I was quite pleased with my first effort but I need to make another one to iron out the little mistakes...which fortunately don't show up on the photos!!!

For instance, I managed to decorate the bottom of the box and was very surprised when I tried to fit the card inside!
Anyway here it is......







I used Stampin'Up punches, papers and card and borrowed a decorative die to go inside. Many thanks to Tina for the inspiration, and thanks to Sue for making me feel so welcome.

Have a great week.  Mandy x
