Splitcoast Inspiration

Over the last couple of days I have had plenty of time to go blog hopping and cruising around my favourite sites like Splitcoatstampers...............Which has inspired me to get out some old catalogues and dusty sets and case a few cards.



The set I chose for these cards was a hostess set here in the UK in the last catalogue called In the spotlight & is very versatile ................ Maybe now I have dusted it off I will use it more.

Does anyone have any ideas for slimming down their stash? I have loads of stash I no longer use as I am so into Stampin up and the whole colour family set up & doodlebug who have a very similar philosophy where everything is centred around 12 core colours.............. I am finding so much is now obsolete in the cards I make. Ebay seems to be a waste of time & also very time consuming for small items like stickers & embellishments etc...

I have sent bags of stuff to my niece as I got her hooked, My grandchildren also have had a couple of parcels as I got them into making family cards at Christmas & my two little next door neighbours, after their mum came to my last Stampin up party they altered her cards ( the first ones she had ever made ) ............. So i gave them a whole Christmas goodie box & a couple of weeks ago I topped that up with lots of pastel colours & spring embellishments................. So as you can see I am running out of people to get hooked on cardmaking.
