It is my intention to post a tutorial today for the first card on my desk which I made in my second Trash to Treasure post yesterday. I used the acetate packing of some Basic Grey magnets to make the fun shaker part of this card. It is also my intention to give it away to someone that comments on my Trash to Treasure post. Pop along if you'd like to be entered into the draw and to find out what else I made.
Next along my desk is another card that now belongs to Elizabeth aka silver scrapper (my first Trash to Treasure giveaway winner) and it is my intention to pop it in the post today so it will soon be winging its way to bonny Scotland.
The box you see at the end is something I intend to use for my third Trash to Treasure post - I have an idea I am mulling over! It involves an old pair of jeans!!
As those of you whose eyes aren't as bleary as mine will notice I skipped this as I thought it would make a cheery shot on this dull morning. It is my intention to have a play with some more of this lovely paper and embellishments called Seraphina. Here are two cute cards that I have made with it already. I am loving the little wooden embellishments.
Oh and last but not least it is my intention to empty that bin!!!!
All my intentions of course depend upon whether or not I can drag myself away from visiting with the gang at WOYWW!!! If you have no idea what that is then please follow this link! But be warned you may not achieve all that you intend to today once you start hopping!!!!
Thanks for popping by x
Oh I love some good intentions. And that Seraphina range is delicious...now I have to go and look at it in more detail! Pretty TtoT cards indeed, Elizabeth will be so pleased!
ReplyDeleteYour desk seems as if everything was well organized and is ready to go in a sec! Best conditions for awesome crafting! Love your colourful storage containers!

Hi Helen, thanks for stopping by. I am loving the bright colors of your cards and will be back to see the tutorial. The way that I keep the beads together on my stickpins is to use a little glossy accents between each bead. Add a drop, twist the bead around and then add the next bead. I hold all the pieces together and just lay it flat until they dry. Or you could add an earring back to hold them until they dry. #83
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy I am definitely going to give that a go!!! Yours look lovely all displayed together like that x
DeleteOh wow, just wow! I am so pleased you left a comment with your kind words, otherwise I might not have discovered you and your love for recycling through craft. I also love to recycle through craft. I have joined your trash to treasure site and INTEND to keep a beady eye on it! Have a great week - Lucy #23 x
ReplyDeleteThanks Lucy. I have the next project mulling over in my brain. A friend of mine recently gave me lots of large flowers and I have no where to store them and so I am going to kill two birds with one stone!!! :-) x
DeleteYou've been busy making some bright and cheery cards!! Love 'em!
ReplyDeleteHappy Crafting!

Well, I love both the bright cheery cards and that soft, grey sophisticated little number as well....gorgeous! And those wooden embellishments are really cute!
ReplyDeleteYes, there is another WOYWW crop, on Saturday 1st June in Burbage, Wiltshire. Julia did post about it a couple of weeks ago and will do many reminders again in the next couple of months, I'm sure. Are you thinking of coming?? Be great to meet you!
Hugs, LLJ 36 xxxx
Yes Jan, I am thinking of coming - it looked great fun last time and I was sorry to miss the opportunity for real visiting rather than virtual. I will keep an eye out for more posts!!!! I wonder if we will be having a sunny summer by then???
DeleteHugs Helen x

Lovely lovely cards!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of lovely things on your desk, and we wouldn't have all our creations without all our intentions! So fun. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #104
ReplyDeletePaths paved with good intentions, but you have such a cheery bright looking desk with all those pretty cards and things so you seem to doing rather well!! Annette 26
ReplyDeleteHa! Emptying the bin is something I don't do often enough. Usually despite my good intentions, it gets left until I am wading through all the bits that missed the bin! I love the little wooden birds. They are very cute. And I was interested to read how you made your alternative shaker card too. Kate x #67
ReplyDeleteYou have some great intentions there and by the sounds of it many of them have been completed already.
ReplyDeleteI love your little daisy box on your desk there, it's so pretty?
Thank you for stopping by already and Happy WOYWW
