I am trying to clear up my desk from last year and use everything thats on it! This lovely LOTV image is another image Anneke sent me...
Everything on my card is from my bit box that sits on my dest except the buttons..
I have decided that in the month of January I am NOT buying any crafty bits, I suppose like lots of you I have cupboards and drawers full of 'stuff' not used so although I haven't made any New Year resolutions I am determined to use what I have, I know its very tempting when you see new things especialaly dies but theres also another part of me that says 'when do you stop'.... I've been crafting for 20 years now and there must be things lurking in the backs of drawers and cupboards that haven't seen the light of day for years. I know my friend Val is reading this smiling and say 'yeah right'..lOl..lOl..
We have started sorting our house out getting rid of things that we dont use or want any more.. we've done the loft, and two bedrooms so far....I'm dreading doing my craft room but it just needs to be done but I'm afraid its going to take several months!!...
Enjoy the rest of the weekend...

Gorgeous card, love the vintage boys. I am determined this year to use some older stamps. I did really well last year using old papers and olan to continue.
Oh I am so with you on this Anne. I am determined not to buy anything unless it is absolutely necessary eg glue tape etc but definitely no dies, embossing folders, backing papers etc, for the next few months at least. This is great little LOTV card with a super image. Happy New Year to you and your family. Hugs Christine xx
Gorgeous card Anne, such a cute image! Good luck with the decluttering, very theraputic but trying not to buy crafty bits is hard! I really can't buy anymore as I definitely don't have the room although I tell myself that dies take up such very little space!

A brilliant boys card Anne. I need to use all my old 'stuff' too before I buy anything else....how long will I last...hubby is looking over my shoulder as I type laughing his head off!!
Happy New Year to you.

Hey Anne - you certainly are off to a grand start with this sweet card. I have always loved LOTV images. I love all the browns with just a touch of green.
Like you, I do not want to buy anything else - why are they always coming out with something new and better! So I am pledging to use what I have.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful and healthy New Year Anne!

You need to be careful that you don't throw Andy out with everything else! Don't envy you clearing out your craft room........it's one of those jobs you wished you'd never started. Gorgeous card and lovely LOTV image.
