WOYWW #563- The Using up UFO's Edition

Annnd another week just flew past! Wednesday again, so time to meet up at Julias place, The Stamping Ground, for our usual desk snoop.There is crafting happening, in the form of finally getting to the bottom of my UFO pile. Two reasons for that, one, I almost missed last weekends Christmas Card Club posting, as for some reason I'd mislaid a week somewhere- still have no idea where it went. Luckily, I had some suitable designs in my Christmas UFO storage, so got to catch up fairly easily.  They're in the post below. Second, my shoulder is giving me hell! Some of you may recall back some years ago now, I broke a corner off my Shoulder blade, where the Rotator Cuff attaches.
Which left me with my arm in a splint for 12 weeks. It healed fine, but occasionally it starts to ache, a dull ache that starts in my shoulder, and gradually goes down my arm. It started a couple of weeks ago, but wasn't too bad, but I think I aggravated it somewhat using my Rotary Cutter to put a fancy edge on the inserts for all those cards I was doing.
So, the inserts are on hold for the moment, although I have managed to get about half of them done. As I can't do any more of them right now, and looking through my UFO storage, I realised just how many I have, I'm going to be making as many into cards as I can.



Sort of sorted into themes, some closer to being finished than others.



And these do not include all the Christmas ones I have either.








 One small enable this week, a  die from Honey Doo, which cuts a panel for the front of a card. It's quite large,roughly 7"x5", it will do the front of a card made from A4 cardstock, folded in half.







The Mothers Day cards are finished, I added acrylic stones to the flower centres.  A strip of ribbon across the front, and a silver peel off coloured with Sharpies to match. I only have a couple of Mothers Day stamps, and both are too big for the front of the card.


Heads up here for anyone who had tickets booked for Happy Stampers in April, Inkylicious posted on FB that they've been advised by the organisers that it has been cancelled. There's nothing on the HS website yet, but they are clearly informing exhibitors.
 I also saw something on FB about another set of shows being cancelled/postponed,the Create-It shows, and I know the NEC show is postponed until June, so if you've booked any tickets for any shows, I'd recommend checking with organisers what's happening before setting out. Just seen that the Sincerely Yours show at Leigh in March has been cancelled.


 I hope everyone is keeping well, and keeping themselves & their families safe.

 With that in mind, this weeks And Finally.............
