As this weekend, true to English weather patterns, we have had cold and rain, So instead of going out and doing the usual weekend/holiday stuff I stayed in, watched a few movies and then, as usual, my craft room beckoned and so after a bit of a clear out and tidy up, I decided to give my storage pots a 'shabby chic' makeover.
I used some vintage pp and 'laced' the edges with Martha Stewart's doily lace edge punch, added some home-made paper flowers, some lace and ribbon/twine trim. I got this idea from Pinterest ! some fabulous talented people pin the most extraordinary things and I am always inspired by their talents.

- suescraftstuff:- I try to put all sorts of things into order in a scrapbook. mainly family. I Started scrapbooking in 2009 and now am totally addicted. Just recently I started making a few cards, mainly for friends and family, I really enjoy doing this, but there is such a lot more to learn. currently I am learning to use promarkers, they're fantastic!!... I have a cricut cutting machine, but like to embellish with different mediums rather than just the cricut cutouts. I love lace and flowers, also distressing and embossing. This is just one of my many hobbies I've had over the years, a big part of it was woodcraft and painting.The woodcraft bit I got from my dad, him and my mum are my all time favourite people, my dad was so kind and clever, dad, I miss you, because of him I still dabble in the woodwork a bit too. But I am loving putting all my photo's into a scrapbook, and lately making cards, to keep and remember everone in a much more interesting way than a normal photo album .hopefully it will be passed on in later years.
