I made this yesterday because I have numerous of these little sewing kits that you get in hotels and I did not want to throw them away, so this is what I did with one of them.
Buttons from my Mums old button tin
Sacking from the Rioja wine bottle
White material is offcut from when I shortened my curtains for my craft room
************************
Also when I was out shopping in the local China store I found these --------
The charms are only 90 cents (70p) and there are loads to choose from along with jewelery findings, and the pearl pins are 80 cents and about 2" long.
The yellow sponge dibbers I thought would be good for either chalking or inking and I made some more of my cork blenders myself to have seperate ones for each colour I use.
Welcome to my new followers too, dont forget to enter the candy draw, I have added some pics of more bits I have added and there will be more to come.

Gotta laugh when I saw that sewing kit, I spent the weekend in a hotel and picked one up for the same thing :-). Love all the recycled bits on your card, especially the sacking from the Rioja! Fab card. Maddy x
