A big ole pile of SCRAP!!

Okay, I have to admit I am a craft Hoarder!!

I stockpile paper, ribbon and other supplies!
 I can't go into a craft store without buying several things I don't need at the moment just because they are on sale and I might need them someday.
I even save the scraps of paper from other projects because you never know when I am going to need it.
My intention is to make something with all of the extra paper and ribbon - I just haven't gotten around to it - Until now!!!
I have decided that I can't allow myself to buy anything new until I deal with the pile of scrap that has become my craft room!!

First things first -  assemble piles of like paper

Next step - use the pile of scrap to make new beautiful things!!
Let's start with this pretty paper that I used to make these cards several years ago!!

Pretty little pile of scrap:

So I took this paper and some matching solid bluish turquoise paper and I made these:

And I really used up as much of the paper as I possibly could:

So what the heck is it you might ask!?

They are small sets of stationary - perfect for Etsy shop owners!!! 

Set includes:

Business Card Sized envelopes 

Matching little Cards for inside the envelopes

Matching Sticker Seals to close up the envelope

The little envelopes can hold business cards, the little matching notes and more:

Matching Notes: 

Matching Sticker Seals:

I LOVE the way these turned out and I love that I am FINALLY using up all of the scraps that I have been meaning to do something with!!!! 

I made a black and white set too and have tons more coming!!

Stay tuned for more Piles of SCRAP!!!

Tangled up in Ribbon!

Well hello there Bloggy land......I've once again neglected my blog!! Boo Hiss!!

Hello - my name is Kirby and I am a ribbon-a-holic!

I just can't get enough of it! I can't go into a Michael's without leaving with some ribbon, even if I don't need it. I have a hoarders mentality when it comes to the stuff - "I don't need 5 rolls of neon orange ribbon right now but it's on sale and someday I'm going to need it"!

It's not the easiest stuff to organize either! I usually end up buying ribbon for a project only to find I had 7 rolls of it in my tangled ribbon mess!!

Case in point:

So when my friend From Marz asked for suggestions on Facebook about what he should make using reclaimed wood! I thought he could make me some kind of ribbon organizer thingy! 

Take a look at this:

I am so happy with it! And look how organized I am! 

Of course if you look at the second picture- that second shelf has a basket and box, loaded with more ribbon!! Seems as though I'm going to need more! Here's hoping From Marz makes some more!
