Christmas in July ~ Recycled Style!!!

Hello and Happy Monday!!  

How was your weekend? I see everyone has been very busy making fabulous things!!! 

Last week, for me, was all about reorganizing, sorting and, as hard as it is, purging through all my craft supplies. I'm hoping to have it all wrapped up today, but it is 8 years of  stuff.  It's quite interesting to see how my taste has changed, since I began crafting back in 2006.  My DH was very helpful, he ran out and bought clear plastic bins, made labels for the bins, drawers, folders and moved the heavy stuff for me.  I'm looking forward to having this project completed, it feels so good to get things reorganized and to get rid of excess. 

Here are a couple of July Christmas cards.  I was inspired by seeing everyone else's fun July Christmas cards. They're made of all scraps and recycled Christmas cards.  You can't see it in the picture, but the poinsettias, are behind a clear, acetate window.  Recycle and reuse :):):) 

Hope you like them.

I've submitted them in the Craftin Desert Divas for our Christmas in JulyChallenge. 

Thank you for letting me know Lisa :):):)

Quick Mini Thank You Cards... Using Scrap Paper!

Here are some quick Mini's made entirely out of my scrap paper stash, you know the lovely little leftovers we just can't bare to throw away.  They only measure about 3" x 2" and have 3 dimensional punch flowers.  There size makes them even cuter than if they were a standard size card.  The insides are simply stamped "Thank You"!

And I'd like to thank you for looking... Have a great day ♥

I LOVE My New Custom DELUXE 12x12 Paper Storage!!!

 My wonderful husband created this fabulous paper storage with drawers and counter top, for my studio....

   Recently I asked my DH if he could make me a wooden paper storage.  About 6 months ago, I had purchased a paper storage rolling cart from Joann's.  This cart wasn't cheap, but pretty junkie. It was to weak to hold the 6 plastic containers it came with.  Now the one my DH constructed is ultra deluxe, it holds 8 plastic paper containers full of paper, 6 drawers from another rollie cart I had, an extra large wooden drawer (DH also made) and an additional work surface... Pretty amazing :):):)

Tulips, Scaps and a Serger...

The other night, while playing around on my serger, I came up with this little card.  

I'd  stamped and glazed the tulips a while back for future use.  So, a few scraps, some stamped tulips, a little bit of serging and wala... An easy peasy card.

Hugs!
