New month, same old crap

[wiseheart]

I'm a tad annoyed today. For no actual reason; I think it's just the cabin fever getting to me, despite having left the house yesterday. Ah, well.

I've made another couple of cards, this time vintage style. These are #21 and #22 - and the scrap paper is still lying in heaps in my study. *sigh* At least I'm putting to good use some of it, even though I can't even guess the day on which I'd run out of them. Making 40+ Russian dolls in January and 30+ bunny boxes in March left me with an industrial amount of scrap paper. And I'm the kind of crafter who refuses to throw out perfectly good material one still can do something with. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing that is up to debate.

Here are the new cards:



I've also written two pages to the next chapter of "Kindred Spirits" and typed up a chapter of the (hopefully) paid translation. I'll try to type up some of my own stuff today, since on bank holidays like this there isn't anything watchable on the telly.

Lots of cards to send out soon ... haha ...

It sounds like you are channeling your energy into good projects, though!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I have to. Otherwise I'd go mad in no time.

If only we'd reach that phase, soon!
I've got the basics of two more cards. Then I'll have to look for some plain white cardboard to cut into card-sized pieces. I'm still drowning in scrap paper and I'm determined to use my pile up.

It's a perfect use of paper scraps. I once used my patchwork templates to cut out loads of pieces and make a card that looked like a patchwork quilt.

I think it's a good thing to keep leftover scrap paper (and other things). Some might call me a hoarder but you never know when you might need them! But I have been known to have bouts of energy when I feel the need to tidy up and throw everything out!

Those cards are wonderful. Very creative!

The cards are very nice, each of them reminds me that there are also good things happening.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Not to mention how much fun it is!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I've got a weakness for beautiful craft paper and just don't have the heart to throw out the leftovers. I was so glad when I found that YouTube video and learned how I can use my scraps for cards.

Now if someone could give me a good idea for felt scraps...

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

That was the basic idea, yes. Beauty can light up one's day.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It is all about virtual hugs in these days, isn't it?

[wanderingmogwai.livejournal.com]

I keep stuff, too.I really shouldn't as everything I personally own is confined to my one room but I do it anyway.

[disthrainsdotte.livejournal.com]

Beauty, nice weather and such things do light up the days and we need it at the moment.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I've got two rooms, all seven square metres each, and one of them has a double door to the living room, so one wall is completely useless. I seriously lack storage space, too. *sigh*

Always nice to find a use for things you have laying around. The cards look great, too. Glad you are doing well on your writing and translating. As to mood, we go through most days in a decent mood, but every so often my son and I flare up at each other. He is having a much harder time staying at home than me, even though when he was younger, all he did was sit in his room and play computer games. Times change, lol.

Mum and I are used to being just the two of us - we've had years to get used to it - but even so we clash sometimes.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Yes it is.
