Forget about the dirty looks

Good Morning & welcome!  Sweet Stampin' has another fab challenge for you this week, a very timely one if you're needing to make a Father's Day card or have an upcoming male birthday as it's CARDS FOR MEN.

Recently I spent a chunk of time sorting out my SU stamps.  Gone are the random words or images that I know I will never use & what remains has been re-organised to make more sense to me.  Which is really how it should be but for some reason I persisted in keeping them in their sets.  Those are SU papers too & I broke out the DI's for a spot of watercolouring.  I even did that thing of mopping up my excess ink.  Because I absolutely definitely need more backgrounds to use up, lol!

I needed some layout inspiration so I nipped along to the talented Jules' blogs & borrowed sketch number 54.  Thank you Jules.

Playing along with:

Thanks for dropping by.  If you're breaking out the MAN stash this week, come & join in the fun.  Have a great week!

Throw away the work to be done

Honestly, who returns to a challenge & then goes awol for several weeks?  Sweet Stampin' has a lovely 'flowers' challenge this fortnight which tempted me back & gives you lots of scope to get crafty.

I made this on my day off when the weather wasn't quite inviting enough to venture out.  I would tell you this is made with very old stash but 95% of my stash IS very old so that's not really news!  I am currently decluttering my craft room and there is a lot of rediscovery going on.  Also a lot of of getting rid which is incredibly satisfying.

Looking forward to seeing your floral creations
