Instead of working on my much needed to finish Christmas cards I cleaned out a box that was stored in my closet that I had brought from my dad's house when he passed away.. My dad was known for buying things cuz they looked interesting.. Uhm TOO much TV time I say!! Anywho, to my surprise I found a couple of things in the box that I had TOTALLY forgotten I put in there. Erm does that tell ya its been in there a while?? *shakes head and starts with New Years Resolution list to sort thru things as I go*
One of the things was a bag of plastic "Easy Design Template Shapes for Arts and Crafts* There are over 100 in there ALL shapes and sizes and the the :idea lightbulb went off.. There were CLOUD shapes.. Ovals.. just omg every possible shape .. and all I could see was REVERSE masking taking shape on a lot of cards.. no more paper templates.. was so cool!! *looks up thanks pop*
the other was a box looked like a tiny storage box so I opened it and there hundreds of dye cut shapes from Winnie the pooh to ducks.. I know mostly they are used for scrapbooking but hey craftiness comes into play.. They are tiny so would be very small reverse masking.. or even to put them on a card.. Ya just never know what you will find in the back of a closet..
Just to give you an idea of something.. I found where my dad had a paper clipping kept of the house my parents sold back in 1981.. Was like memory lane seeing that picture...
Anywhoooooooo just wanted to share my treasure find.. Now I MUST finish my Christmas cards THEN I can play wiff me new stuff
Have a great day!!
Treasure find
