Something Saturday - Bits & Pieces

 Hi there Creators

Today was definitely a bits & pieces day!  I had a bit of clean up of my crafting desk, and in the video I give a quick tour of my craft room (exceedingly messy, but hey that's the way I work!)  And let's face it we all like to gig at other peoples crafting space 🤣

Anyway I have this "little" (actually it kind of grows) area at the back of my desk that ends up with all those UFO's (unfinished objects).  Today I pulled them all forwards and that's what my video is primarily on, I've teamed up some of my UFO's with retiring bling  (gotta love Bling!) and used up a disappointingly small amount of it!   I think I need to have people over to use up my UFO's (and take them away with them!!)   Any volunteers?

Alright well, moving on to the actual cards I did make up..... (somewhat Christmassy theme going on here! Ah well never to early to make Christmas cards😁)  I do mention in the video that I'll give you links to the bling I used.  So, clockwise from the ornament card, I've used Opal Rounds (which sadly are sold out, however the In Colour Opal rounds are still there and reduced from $15 to $7.50, bargain!), then we've got the Gold Faceted sequins, reduced from $14 down to $8.40, I don't think I put any bling onto the bells card as the bells were quite blingy being the Brushed Metallic Cardstock (which conveniently enough is also reduced from $27 down to $10.80!) then the last card in this set I've used the Champagne rhinestones which are sadly gone 😞

I've then used the same bling in the top 2 cards.  The cards underneath have the red rhinestones (on the ghosty trees) which surprisingly are still there (at time of typing) reduced from $12.25 to $8.57, and the long card uses the Rhinestone basic jewels $10.50, which I had thought were retiring, turns out I was wrong!  yay as I use them a lot! 😍

 Then lastly I made up this card - the Cherry Cobbler base was already cut & scored and the flower was already stamped up, also the bits of designer paper were sitting in the stache, as was the round saying, this one was a special one for a friends birthday, so initially I took photos thinking I would only post them without the extra sayings, but changed my mind and the finished card is at the end.

To finish off the birthday card I added the sayings and also the Sprig Trinkets, reduced from $15.75 to $7.87, which to make them match the card, I coloured them with one of my yellow Stampin Blend pens (alcohol markers).

 If you missed the video, here it is...

 

I hope this inspires you to dig out your UFO's and use up some!  or potentially come round here and use up some of mine 🤣  other peoples UFO's are usually way more interesting than your own!   In fact if you'd like some of mine, just ask and I'll send you an envelope full of them.

 Till next Saturday, God Bless love
