Fathers Day stall Cards

Of course as I'm such a miser ...... not only did we use rubbish to make gifts we then used every last scrap of patterned paper we had to make up cards for the kids to buy....

These were very simple cards as they had to be made into take home packs for the mothers to take home and just glue together...... so even the least crafty person could put them together.

Here are a few examples:

Nice cards! I've found that cardmaking is a great way to "get rid" of scraps from scrapbooking.

I agree Sarah. I often do a scrapbooking page and then before I put my stuff away try to do a few cards with all the scraps that are left over. The best thing is you use up your leftovers and all the pieces match as that's why you got them out for the scrapbook page you were working on.

Hi Everyone, Well if you've made it this far you know I'm the last blog for you to hop to.... I am the owner of Kith and Kin Stamp Co and I am so grateful to those of you who have played along. Alyce's colour along's are always so informative and full of great info I know you will have learnt lots. We feel very honoured that she has chosen one of our stamps. I love colouring and really only got interested in using copics after I saw Alyce's lovely colouring.... that then got me started on creating my own stamps so I could decide the images I wanted to colour. My colouring is of me... Kyra Mermaid which you can buy in my facebook store  https://www.facebook.com/kithandkinstampco/app_150178545006427 .

50 Ideas to Get Organized and Enjoy Your Scrapbooking Hobby

Scrapbooking is a wonderful hobby! Besides being relaxing and fun, it also allows you to be creative and to spend quality time with your family and friends. Plus, it results in a storybook of lifelong memories. One very important element of scrapbooking is getting it all organized. This includes, but is not limited to: storing all of your supplies in an organized fashion so they can be found instantly when you need them. remembering what supplies to pick up at the store, and eliminating duplicate purchases. finding time to research new and creative ways to spruce up your scrapbooks. finding enough time to enjoy the art of scrapbooking in your busy life.
