I thought I would share a tip today - one in making the most of your creative stash and the products that you buy in the future!
Before you throw away those left-overs and packaging from new products, have you ever taken a peak at them and thought if there is anyway you can use them?
You might be able to use an eyelet from the top of a packet on a page or a card; some of the plastic for a tag you could stamp with Stazon; a printed strip to use as imitation ribbon; shaped cardboard as a templete and so the list goes on.
On this particular card, I've actually used a piece of left-over scalloped Bazzill as a template to create the border AND the polka dot brown strip was actually taken from the bottom of a piece of pattern paper, either side of where it said 'My Minds Eye' - waste not I say!
Have fun finding new and innovative ways to make use of some of your left-overs and packaging before you just throw them away!
Until next time,
Shirley
