Sorting out blues

I ordered one of these ~ Really-useful-drawer-unit-11-x-7-litre . It's bright, cheerful and OMG! i've fitted so much in to it. A draw for peels offs, a drawer for clear stamps, a drawer for rubber stamps, you get the idea.
Now i know i shall need another, yes i do have that much crafting stuff, and here's where i have hit a brick wall. Until i can afford to get another i'll have to wait but i also need to get a bookcase, and also move both of the bedrooms round to sort out the remaining boxes from our move last year, but to clear the space for the storage,  the boxes need to be out of the way. Now as you can guess with this bitter weather, the fibro isn't being friendly, which of course isn't helping the mental health side of things. And i admit today i'm shattered before i even start with the tackling of a box or two.

So the plan for today, take it slow, put on some favourite movie, maybe Pacific Rim and do what i can.  And when i'm needing a break i can admire the robots and Idris Elba . Not that i like this movie or anything, but i get serious goose bumps every time i watch it.

But hey, what about crafting.. this is a crafting blog after all. Well last night i was working on cards again, small punched out flowers and swirls of paper. Trying out ideas as they formed in my head.

Each one worked out well i thought, and i'm happy how cheerful each one turned out. It was so cold yesterday evening that the thought of spring flowers, those first rays of sunshine opening each little flower bud, greeting the start of a new season.

 This one i tried to use up some punched out circles. Small enough to fit on the washi tape and they worked well i thought. The circles behind i cut in two and layered to match with the middle picture.

Bright pink with aqua blue always works well together and i'm sure someone will smile when they see this card.

 I've had the swirls for a long time, nearly 2 years, and i never knew quite what to do with them. Last night, inspiration came to me.

They add a certain elegance i think and the added flowers bring the card together.

I did another similar one, this time adding a punched butterfly on a small display of punched leaves and a flower. Either for easter, a birthday or just because this card will work well. The bright yellow with the gentle green, a perfect mix.

So now i must start the sorting out, and see if i can remove a box, or two before my son comes home, and then settle down to spending some crafting time whilst his buddy comes over for a couple hours.

Happy crafting!
