Something Old...Something New...Day 1

Hi folks...the worky stuff is up to date and with a couple of weeks of foot loose and fancy free time to do whatever I choose...no prizes for guessing that I was thinking woohoo...no deadlines to nail...just some "for the love of it" and "do my own thing" crafty playtime" BUT there are strings attached apparently courtesy of the cubbyhole crew. I've been challenged...threatened and cajoled...however you want to describe their bossy tactics...to use up some of the stuff that's kicking around the cubbyhole gathering dust...could this be the start of me turning over a new leaf...jumping without a parachute if you like into the world of being a bit less wasteful...you and I both know that it's very tempting to keep buying all the latest crafty products and forget about the older stuff...so after much mumphing moaning and the threat of all out mutiny...I'm on a...
"SOMETHING OLD...SOMETHING NEW" 
mission...I can only play with the new stuff if I delve into the dark and dusty recesses of this crafty space...unearth some of the old stuff and use up all the scraps that are lying around...so here we go...
THE NEW STUFF
Hero Arts Hexagons and Geometric Shapes Frame Cuts...
THE NEARLY NEW STUFF
Simon Says Stamp Die Cuts....Sizzix Sizzlits Flower Vine Set....Craftwork Cards Kraft Cut Birds
bought a few months ago and hardly used...
KRAFT CARD SCRAP MOUNTAIN
growing daily...
and
THE REALLY OLD STUFF
Basic Grey Two Scoops...donkey years old
so for the rest of the week I'll be sharing what I've made...starting off with the first of the "making a dent in the cubbyhole stash" cards...

Wish me luck with my new adventure...I'll be back tomorrow to share more
Hugs Kath xxx

    Loving what you have done

    Gorgeous with the paper piercing across the hexagons - what a lovely idea & I do like the way the flower echoes those hexagons.

    Good luck with using up some of your old stuff and scraps. I could do with doing that too! As you say it's too easy to keep buying new stuff and forgetting about what you've got already!!

    Looks like you've made a good start with this gorgeous card.
