I had to start by clearing up, then picking up, next after picking them up.... was looking through them, it was like finding old photographs....you have to stop, gaze and wonder all over again. When did I do that? Why didn't I use it? Can I use it now?
I ended up with dies, and odds and ends all over the place, and was still at a loss as what to do with them.
But, since I had been asked to make a few "Just to say" cards I followed this direction. The cards needed to be useable for any occasion, including sympathy.....
This is one I made. On looking at it again - I think I could have made two cards with one image on each. How wonderful is hindsight!
Hope to catch up with you soon on the WOYWW blog hop!

Isn't it great when you go through a box and find things you had forgotten about. All of a sudden you have 'new' stash to play with.

Same everywhere lol. You start off with a great space to work! Then,
end up with none.
Stunning card.

How lovely to make such a special card from bits you needed to use up.

I think the card is better with the 2 images. The way the birds are looking at each other just gives it a special feel to it..

Very elegant card and suitable for any occasion. Loved your story about things falling all around you - and I thought that sort of thing only happened to me...I also know what you mean about finding 'treasures' you'd forgotten you made.
Love those triple lines.Simple and elegant. I sympathise on the stash crash-almost as bad as a computer crash. Was giving details of your blog to some ladies at Manchester at the weekend. They were asking me questions about cuttlebugs and hadn't heard of you. I thought everyone knew about you! Just goes to show. LOL Betty with hugs a plenty
Well that's a lovely card, and yes you could have made two.....but if you've got all those scraps etc, you could equally have made six with two images on each! ;)
oh what a card, its so beautiful and elegant, love your bureau!
hugs mandyxx
love the card, I'm another one who's guilty of forgetting what they've got

*hugs* Heather x
I like the just to say idea - and that one is so suitable just to say lots of things!!
Sounds like you're having one of those days! Nice to find the stuff you'd forgotten about though, love the card too, simple can be so stunning.

YES, I love to rummage in scraps sometimes. The card is lovely.
Sometimes one just has to bite the bullet and have a sort-out. I think I read on another blog that organising ones craft room can become a second hobby!
I am constantly dropping things on the floor too, it drives me crazy!
The simplicity of your card is instantly appealing, clean and it says it all really.
I like both images on this card. Did you emboss the side yourself? it is very pretty.
It's always fun to see old projects and you have found some lovely images. I love birds, so this was quite clever. Although I'm late getting here this week, had to stop by and wish you a happy belated WOYWW.
i love my stick and spray, I am a bit late this week, fab workspace, Happy WOYWW, Thank you for showing us your workspace.
Love the card and I like the two embellishments on there.
Why is it always the messy box/basket that falls on the floor??

Well, that was a happy accident then! Have often wondered how you manage on a smaller surface than mine. Discipline and order, that's how! The card is gorgeous - a smaller one would bear a single image nicely, but I like the two on the C6 size.
Thanks for the snoop, your spill of bits gave lots to look at and the card you made is beautiful, to I guess that spill was serendipity.
Better late than never Eileen, Your space always looks tidy, this is a fabby card,I love the two images, what are they? And what is that lovely font called that you used?
It's really elegant and totally classy!
Chrissie
That's a really love the card, I love how simple and elegant it is.
Sounds like the box falling on the floor was a blessing really!

I know the feeling when you spill a box full of stuff. You always end up finding some long lost gems but it's timewasting clearing and pouring through it all.
Love your card. Tried to post a comment yesterday but it wouldn't let me so I'm late,

Beautiful card it's very elegant and look at all the nessies :)
I really love this beautiful card. My sister hates over complicated things & making cards for her is often difficult but your design has inspired me to take a look at my dies & see what i can achieve.
