More Neglected Stuff September 2025

I'm not sure when or why I bought an 8x8 pad of October Afternoon Farmhouse papers but it was a long time ago.  A couple of months back I pulled it off the shelf and a couple of days ago emptied the embellishments I must have bought at the same time onto the pad on my work surface hoping to find some inspiration.  Eventually it come.

 

After watching another video with some new rub-ons I looked for what I had in the way or rub-ons and while some were beyond redemption I managed to make the following cards some very old ones.

 I am entering some of these for the Neglected Stuff September 2025 Challenge

Neglected Stuff July 2025 Challenge

 The Neglected Stuff July 2025 Challenge is happening so after using some of my newer supplies I decided it was time to use some papers my daughter gave me many years when she was having a destash.  I also used some 'stamps' from another old piece of patterned paper I bought back when she was on the design team for a group and we used to go on their retreats.

Maybe one day I will have used up more supplies than I buy!!  😉😇😄😄😄 

I've been inspired

 It's been a long time since I've made many cards but some new Paper Rose and Uniquely Creative papers have inspired me to make more than twice as many as I made during the whole of last year.  

Recently Yoonsun Hur at Rejoicing Crafts made some cards with a set of floral dies that I have but haven't used in a long time so I dug out my set and used some of the Paper Rose Vintage Rose papers to create this card.  I also used an old Stampin' Up ink pad on an old background stamp my daughter gave me when she was culling her supplies several years ago.  Since I have just discovered a new challenge, Neglected Stuff, I am going to join in with this card.

This Vintage Rose from Paper Rose is what inspired me to getting crafting again.  These are a few of the cards made from that collection but I had already given some to my friend who is a chaplain without taking a 'group' photo.

 

 

 

These are some I made while staying at Dad's place a few weeks ago.  Some just needed a sentiment once I arrived home.  

These use mainly Uniquely Creative's Serenity collection and a diecut piece which I tore so could use it on 3 of them.

 

The UC Serenity vellum stickers also worked with the PR Lavender & Fairies collection.
