Floppy Diskettes

A little over 3 years ago I made some hanging photo ornaments from floppy disks. You can see the instructions and finished sample in my You Tube video:

I have a web page that goes into more details on the supplies: http://www.nachattin.com/artclephotornament.html

There are still quite a few diskettes hanging around my studio so I decided to surf and find some other projects. Here's a fun tutorial from Cut Out and Keep web site: It's a floppy diskette card designed by Harmini A.


I'd love to send some of these to friends. I can only imagine how long a diskette would take to break down in a landfill--so reusing them makes so much sense.

Here's a blog post that shows 10 ways to recycle floppy disks: http://www.noordinaryhomestead.com/10-ways-to-reuse-3-5%E2%80%B3-floppy-disks/

I designed some digital versions of cards featuring floppy diskettes that can be glued to the front of a floppy or just sent via email or Facebook.

Fruity Crabs

Back in 2002 or perhaps 2003 Sir Henry and I went to Vegas for a Dream Impressions stamp convention. We had a great time together.

Every hotel in Vegas has to have a theme and our Imperial Hotel set out to be the Asian hot spot on the strip. It looked like a standard strip hotel with some pagodas glued here and there. The hotel had a big polynesian dinner one night and everyone at the convention attended. The food and the show were cheesy but fun. During intermission I walked around and took pictures of all the fruit scuptures.

This crab was one of my favorites. I printed several copies of it a few years later for a scrapbook page I was designing for Spellbinders. There were plenty of crabs left over and I finally used them to make a series of brithday cards.

A. There was a point to this long winded story

B. I used up more of the "stuff" that I have had laying around for years.

So click on the crabby cards and see all the fun ways you can make cards from your extra photos.

Enjoy the creative process!
