Waste not want not is one of my life rules. I had started to accumulate a little stack of paper bits on my office table and after a while they were getting on my nerves, I nearly threw them away and then I glued them down and made this.
The background is a paint sample sheet from Crown Paints,they have a really great matt finish, I love collecting them.
I love the colours, green is my favourite colour, they all just sort of made a card all by themselves.
Wow what a fabulous idea Jo, I would have actually bought that little picture had I seen it in a shop, it is delightful. Jo you always come up with such inventive makes which I love. Thanks for a fab post as always, you always cheer me up. Have a great weekend Jo Lots of love as always Dorothy :-)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ReplyDeleteWell Jo, that is beautiful and I bet you're glad you didn't do a throw out after all - I very much like it!

You've inspired me to write a blog post on the same theme.....this time it's about using up smelly wool!
ReplyDeleteThat's the prettiest use of 'rubbish' that I've ever seen! Glad you upcycled these pretty bits! Chrissie x
