Nostalgia upcycled

 It is a little daunting when I look my scrapbooking stash but I have to start somewhere  so this is the beginning of the re-organisation of my space and material.  I have a living list of things to produce so that I can actually start utilising all my  scrapbooking material and other stuff I have at my finger tips.   My starter for 10:  Paper scrap embellishments Junk Journal embellishments Envelopes Paper clip pockets Paper flowers Word tags Tags Junk journals mini journals card packs  This morning I found several rolls of old wall paper cira 1970s, which I have cut into workable sheets of 12x12.  I also found some old music sheets, dress pattern paper and old airmail envelopes.   Made some mini envelopes and pockets out of old cereal packaging           And made some flowers from some old book pages.   phew, time to sit back.   Happy crafting J

Every time I attempt to organize my craft room I am truly amazing at how much product I actually have and are yet to use.    I even have papers that I brought because they are beautiful and are just too nice to cut.   So from now on I am going to limit my purchases exception tapes and glues.  And use what I already have or upcycle/repurpose items that are not traditional card and layout material.   So here are a couple of cards that I made using  cardstock, packing paper, wall paper, hessian,   dried flowers and leaves, with a little metallic butterfly and owl on each.  I hope you like them.       These are the challenges I am joining this month,  click the links to view the other creations.   Path of Positivity challenge dd-tripleb Creative Fingers challenge Here is a place to start Happy crafting J
