I know most of you do keep every scrap and reuse it, but can you believe that up until just recently I threw those precious pieces away. Shame on me, right?
In this economy, we need to make the most of our purchases and get the most from our products. That's why stamps are such a great investment. The word "Investment" makes it sound expensive, but you can pick up a great set of stamps these days for under $10.
How much do you spend on ONE card at your local cardshop? At least $3, and sometimes more then that. Make just 3 cards with a new set of stamps and you've paid for it. Now, what if you make those three cards using scraps? Even cheaper.
I did just that - I used these great "Wild Blossoms" and "Doodlie Dots" stamps from Stampendous to make myself a couple of cards and a bookmark. The catch was that I would only let myself use scraps of paper I had already used for something else. It's amazing how much more "creative" you get when you have limited resources - LOL.
I put all of my cards together with my Helmar Adhesive Runner, and doesn't that first card just "Pop" with the Helmar Liquid Scrapdots? I seriously cannot create without that stuff, it's the best.
Thank you Pink Paislee for your "Cupid Collection" papers, and to Worldwin for your superior quality cardstock.
Until next time friends,
Marci :)
