HOW MUCH STUFF HAVE I USED?

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

I have been having a play in my little craft pod this morning whilst hubby is out and about .. .. and how much mess have I made?

It was one of those lovely craft sessions where one thing leads to another, and another and another.. .. .. .. and in the end all I have used are two bits of white card and two bits of scrap (which I am vowing to reduce considerably).

But although my card looks simple you just wouldn't believe how much stuff I have all over my desk waiting to be put away again.

Here is the offending chaos causing creation

with his "close up" buddy

and here is the mammoth list of ingredients that are all sprawled over my desk

Images/Backgrounds:Elusive: Script Background "32531"
Hero Arts: Medium Harlequin Background "H3414"
Hero Arts: Showy Blossom "F3255"
Stamps Away: Design Elements - Elegance "S129"Distress Inks:Barn Door
Old Paper
Wild Honey
Spiced Marmalade
Adirondacks Ink Pad: Pebble
X-Cut Butterfly Punch
Fiskars Corner Rounder
Gold Embossing Powder
ProMarkers
Eyelets, raffia, self adhesive pearls and brad from the stash box
I didn't have any self adhesive pearls that were the right colour for what I needed so coloured some plain ones with promarkers.

So as you can imagine quite a lot of cleaning of stamps and clearing up to be done before I start my next little creation. LOL!!!

Have a good weekend everyone and I hope you get time for a bit of crafting somewhere along the line.

Love Jules xx
