Spellbinder storage!

Ok, I am addicted to Pinterest and was looking for something to store my spellbinders in and found this pic!

















So I investigated it more and located the blog which was (I think) in German with a translator facility... which I love cos this is what it came up with!
What to do with the Nestabilities?
Time for the weekend, there are now times a retention tip. I looove storages of all kinds! Somewhere nice to give some things sorted is one of my favorite hobbies. (Retractable but only if the storage re is - to sort old scores in old folder I think, for example, is not nearly as satisfying)
when I had ordered me in a pre-Christmas spending spree a few Spellies, was my old book it now definitely too small become. The only time I had designed for three sets, on the assumption that surely would have to reach into all eternity. Yeah - funny nöch
The packaging in which the punches are on arrival are so crazy now really over. I notice that there always at least get out. At first I just wanted to craft a new book, only much larger. Of this I am but then quickly abandoned again, and I'm now just sewed little pockets for it! Made of solid paper, front and a slide on it. Thanks for looking. Additional info for the same Nachbastler: Amazingly, I could buy this film in single sheets in our mickerigen craft store. I think it is sort of a wind turbine film only just thinner. The strength of "0.2". The unit, however I do not - there should be a millimeter? Which can be great if every stitch, yet is stable enough. In the resulting pocket is a piece of cardstock, glued to the magnetic film. Top whistles nor a tab (the wilder pulling out) with the exact Spellbinders label. If the original packaging is first thrown away, we all know otherwise not what you have there. And now you can pretty scroll through the different molds, it takes everything hardly any space, and (much less than the old packaging!) - the best - the collection is still to be expanded! An invaluable advantage. :) And a nicer box I'm building myself on occasion too. ;-)

so there was some more pics too so I thought I'd better add these too:D














































Now, in no way am I laughing at the original poster but don't you love the translation!! blogger is so funny! and If you want to see the original blog post it's here

A card...........

I've been getting some new spellbinders lately after watching the fabulous Sue Wilson on C&C, I also bought some great A4 cardstock from Kerry Timms who is a Stampin' Up lady. So using the whisper white cardstock and some dusty concorde distress ink, I set to work with my Happycut and this is the result...... plus another image from the other side to show off the dimension.

I've made a couple of cards lately


Using my new investment of Spellbinders! I love love love them and have a little list of some more I'd like too;)

Anyway the first card I made was for my fabulous friend Heather and as it's her birthday today, I'll wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY again
























The next card I made was for a friends daughter and her fiance who just got engaged so using similar colours I made this card for them.

























Bye for now and stay warm and out of the cold

WOYWW - 140 - Harrumph!!


As you can tell, at my work desk today is my husband!!! He's been using it as his desk instead of where he usually sits when he works from home as my back has gone again.... (due to disc prolapse again flare up and severe sciatica)... This has meant that I haven't had a chance to craft lately although I have had some fabulous spellbinder sets arrive lately on top of the ones I bought with my christmas money (Holly motifs & Accents and Twisted Metal Tags & Accents) the l lot I got with the very last of my christmas money were the Ironwork Motifs & Ironwork Accents and Parisian Motifs & Parisian Accents. I've been really lucky as I remembered a friend telling me that when she visited another friend in Scotland they went shopping and bought some nestabilities from craftworld for £15 a set! so that meant the last £60 went on something I really liked instead of frittering away on nothing in particular....

Since then I've bought Ornate Artisan Tags & Accents, Foliage, Fanciful Flight and Elegant Posts from IconUK who are based in Barnsley and they have really great prices too!

I've added them on to my pinterest board and have a list of the nestabilities that I would like to get in the future too...

Thanks for dropping by
