my creative space: cutting and pasting

So this week I actually “made” something!

One of the hazards of the photographer’s life is misprints  so at the moment I have a lovely little pile of not quite right prints, including the tea cups, and wondering what to do with them I came up with this nifty little idea: gift tags.

These guys just need some ribbon and they are done. Although I’m not sure what to do with them yet, although they will be included in some packages going out this week.

For the rest of the day, that’s what I will be doing, packaging, punching and pasting. Enjoying some quiet time after a busy week back at work and catching up on some blogtoberfest blogs.

And visiting some creative spaces from the list over here.

ps. A lovely giveaway here on le blog ~ enter to win something lovely and fun for Christmas.

  20. That’s a fabulous idea! What a great way to use up the misprints and translate your work into something new. You could certainly sell packs of these in the shop, I’d think!
