A Little Bit of This & A Little Bit of...

... That! Actually, it is more like... Mean-Mr-Mojo-struck-again-last-night-and-fair-told-me-that unless-I-cleaned-up-my-act- he-was-leaving-home-and-never-coming-back! See what I have to put up with huh? Anyways... the truth is... whenever I make anything, be it a tag, card, T'Pouch, I always seem to make too many bits to put on whatever it is... and because I don't want to chuck them out, I keep them... and they take up space on my desk... usually in little piles, pushed to the edges... where they inevitably fall onto the no man's land that is the floor of the Room of Stash.




So... yesterday I told you about the latest "challenge"... namely, making "flat" cards. And I told you how unimpressed I was with the end results... well, all these little bits and bobs are hanging about on my desk and instead of ignoring them I decided to use them on a.... tag! And... the tag had already been inked - literally yonks ago and it hadn't turned out how I wanted so it went into the "reject tags that I don't like the background of but may change my mind and plus the fact, it is way too wasteful to chuck away a whole tag"....erm... pile. Actually the background is quite nice... although I have covered most of it up with embellies.


The Memories banner was actually made for last weeks Sunday Stamper but it just didn't look right on that tag so it went onto the "banners I have made and don't like and... well, you get the idea" pile. The Rosettes were cut 382years ago and have been sitting on my desk, un-rosetted because both of them had splits in them. So... I made a feature out of the bottom one, splitting it more so it is very...erm... distressed... the top one isn't too bad so that stayed intact and I just popped some metal bits and a UTEE heart that was a reject because it has a bobble on the front of it... but... now I like it! Weird how once upon a time most of these things were rejects... and now I have used them and they all seem to just work together ... SO... what do you do with the bits you make that you don't use... or make and aren't how you want them to be? Are you a thrifty crafter (like what I am *snort*) or are you super ruthless and bin all rejects? Do tell!


Right... tis time for me to say TTFN... I have to get myself to bed because I am Hitting the Bottle tomorrow! Noooo, I am not going on the lash lol.... I am going to The Stamp Attic for my Alcohol Ink class... I can't wait! Tis going to be a grand day indeedily! I have been and got some treats for the girlies... Jelly Babies (hands off the black ones... they mine lol), Licquorice Allsorts (hands OFF the ones that like tubes of white with licquorice around them... they ahem... mine...lol) oh and I got some Maryland Cookies... even though I do have to laugh... they are about as far removed from Maryland as I am from being a neatfreak... and I know this because... Ellen is from Maryland and she had never heard of them!! It was funny when we went to Morrison's though... they had a special offer on them and there was Ellen, taking pics of the biccies... much to the amusement of some rather surprised looking shoppers... just about the same as me taking photo's of the stacks of Cheesy Chester Cheeto's in the Giant store in Baltimore... ohhahahhaaa. Which reminds me... did I tell you that I am going to Baltimore? I think I may have mentioned it... the odd time or two... in... 26 days!!! Oh dear, I have gone off on one of my waffles again... I really am offski now... thanks for looking... oh and don't forget to tell me... do you save? or do you reject? TTFN!
