I decided to use in on one of my future projects, and even before I thought about the details, I remembered this starry cardboard I bought ages ago. I think it was part of some paper package, I liked it but I never really knew how to use it. On the one hand, it's pretty dark to me, and on the other, those stars didn't seem to fit anywhere. Until I figured out they do fit the mouse :)
For
the card, I used the sketch from tuesdaymorningsketches. The image is
coloured with coloured pencils. To match the starry background I
added golden glitter paper, a blue and golden ribbon, and a sentiment
that says "Happy holidays".
In
the end, I used a couple of stars: a punched golden star and some
star-shaped pearls. These were my sisters' actually, she must have
used them back in primary school for her crafting. When she had no
use for it she gave them to me. That was ages ago, but I somehow keep
stuff like this, thinking I *might* need it some day. In the end, I
forget about some of my treasures only to re-discover them later,
while others are always in the back of my mind, waiting for their
moment to come.
How
about you, do you keep things for "maybe later"?
Everything? Some of them? Dou you keep things for years or do you
clean up your reserves every now and then? Did it ever happen to you
that after sorting things out, within a couple of weeks you were
working on a project, thinking "If only I kept these a little
longer"?

ReplyDeleteVery cute mouse image. The stars are perfect. Yes, I have cleaned out old supplies only to realize that days, weeks or months later, I could have used what I had tossed!
