I still have unused items in my stash that I bought when I first started crafting, now some 9 years ago. I have come close so many times to throwing things out only to find suddenly I have I use for them.
I created this card using a Keepsake Wrapture. It was hidden away in a box and had never seen the light of day since the day I bought it.
I was waiting for a stamp to fit it, and low & behold in amongst my stash I found this diamond Anna Griffin stamp.
And here it is...you can just make out the 2004 date on the Wrapture...this must be roughly when I bought it.
I shall be entering this card into the latest Passion For Papertrey challenge "sensational silhouettes". I've used a stamp from Papertrey's "Turning a Leaf" set and the sentiment is from the Star Prints set.
It's nice to know even after all this time I found a use for the template and it wasn't a waste of money.
Well, it was good to be able to enter 2 challenges this weekend. I had Friday off work and managed to fit in a little me time for crafting which is why I'm a bit ahead of myself. As usual though, I have to dash to fit in all the Sunday chores before work again tomorrow!
