I'm hoping that by joining in with the Tag Tuesdays themes I will:

1. Use up some of my stash of saved items such as cards, embellishments & mementos
2. Will hopefully try new techniques & work on some unfamiliar themes
3. Create a collection perhaps for display to hang up in my studio or in a book or mounted on canvas.

Thanks for stopping by!

Recycling cards

Yesterday 'C' and I spent a lovely afternoon cutting out

I now have a fab collection of tags to embellish recycled from some old birthday cards

Charlotte is just learning how to use scissors and having lots of fun I bought her children's scissors

 but her hands are so tiny that she cant work them

so I fished these out of a little sewing kit I had....perfect size!

Cutting is now her favourite thing to do :)

thanks for stopping by!
