TIP FOR THE WEEK!!

First off- I want to remember my BIG BROTHER John!  Today is his Birthday!  I love you and I miss you!!  I am glad God Blessed us with you!    Happy Birthday Cha Cha Cha!!!


recycle and upcycle

There is something very gratifying in making something from nothing..  or not much!

It just happens that upcycling and repurposing is very trendy at the moment!

I was raised to use everything and waste nothing!  Thanks Mom and Dad!  Now  it's cool to do that!  Who woulda thought??   =)

A few things that I like to repurpose-

Clear sturdy plastic that is on the outside of so many things that we buy -  cricut cartridges, battery packs- etc...  This heavy plastic  is perfect for making templates and other awesome things that call for transparency plastic!   Save it!    I keep me plastic in a scrap folder just like I do my scraps!

Cardboard from the back of tablets and note pads!  it's just chipboard!  YAY! Save it all if you have room for it!  I use so so much chipboard for mini albums it seems a shame not to recycle and upcycle that stuff!!

Jars- from candles- they almost always come with lids!  So after the candle has burned down to nothing- wash in hot water- remove the label and wha-lah!  You have a button jar!   Another jar that works great for recycling and upcycling is the ragu jars from the cheese sauce or the alfredo sauce!  Remove the label and wash -  you can embellish them easily! 

Shoe boxes-  can be recovered with scrap paper or wrapping paper to make amazing storage boxes!


Saving items doesnt have to mean you have to a packrat either!  keep it simple  and keep it organized!

You may want to keep your recycled materials in a drawer in your craft room so you have them all together!  You may not have time to get it trimmed and into the folder everytime you have plastic to upcycle- so  put it all in a drawer until you have time to trim it all down to go into your folders!


 Have an Awesome Day!

Count your Blessings and Challenge yourself to see the positive in something negative!  It's there!  I promise!

CRAFT STORE COUPONS AND WEEKLY SALES!

Hello again!!  It's SUNDAY!  And new ads  for all our scrapping resources are up!   Weekly Ads for my Favorite places to get great deals on embellishments, paper and tools are online and in your Sunday paper!

Hobby LobbyMichale's, and   Joann Fabrics and Crafts are the three places I frequent to get deals!  Saving money is important to keep our cost down.  Saving money so we can buy more for less!  Who doesn't want more for less moolah?!?

First off I want to let you know some little things I have learned about these three stores!  Hobby Lobby almost always has a  40% OFF one item coupon each week.  These coupons are in their ads and online and can be printed off easily on your personal printers at home.  Joann's  and Michael's  both honor competitor coupons!  So print more than one so you are able to use them there as well as Hobby Lobby!  Hobby Lobby as far as i know  does not honor competitor coupons! 

MANY items and Tools that we use A LOT  do not go on sale often - so those are the items I buy with my 40% off coupons!  It's painful having to pay full price for anything!  =)

Items that don't typically go on sale at Joann's  is adhesive!  Zip Dry and Scotch Brand Quick Dry adhesive -excellent way to save!  Use your coupons on those items to be sure you maximize your scrapping dollars!

Tip for the week: It's amazing what you can make with your scraps!!

Hey Scrappers!!

Today is Monday  February 4th-  My Scrap-booking  tip for the week is... NEVER  Throw away your scraps when you make a book or scrap page.  It's amazing what you can make with your scraps!!

Keep scraps organized--  You may sort them according to color or stack type.  I like to keep mine organized by keeping solids separate from my prints.  All prints are kept according to theme or paper stack.   If you have your paper stack  its great to put your scraps into a gallon size ziplock or a page protector and keep them paper-clipped to your stack. 

Uses for scraps are endless!

cards -  punches- belly bands- mini scrapbooks- etc...

HAVE A GOOD WEEK!
