Just the other day as i was scratching my head trying to figure out where to get a Bingo card for my layout it gets me thinking..to create, invent or better still print it out!!! Yeah since i have basically everything at home, lappy-check, printer-check, so it's as easy as 1,2,3. Surf the net for Bingo card images (boy..they were a lot to choose from!!lol) so i settled with a few that capture my heart, save it n print it!!! voila!! i got meself not one but 12 printed cards. Just perfect.

And then i came across few amazing crafters blog that like to used Seam Binding instead of ribbons. Well that gets me thinking too. It looks vintage and way too cool than the normal colourful ribbons which i cud never get the right colour or texture. I asked Mr Hubby if he cud find it for me and yes he did found it at a nearby cash n carry shop. It was really cheap too! Less than RM2 for at least 8 metres. I was overjoyed!!! I soaked a few yards in tea stain, the rest in acrylic paint. I have been playing around and experimenting all day long!

Finally, i have my old schoolmate who is also into crafting but her specialty is crochet. I meet her yesterday and before the meet up told her that i wanted few flowers in various sizes. She did this amazing crochet flowers for me. U can find her here.

So that's it for today, a few cheap amazing findings which is a great inspiration to moi...:)
