Scrap, scrap, scrap

New Toys...

After giving up shopping for 40 days, I've finally purchased some new toys! This is one of my new toys. In my opinion it is great ribbon storage. The bag has 200 holes in the sides, and the end of the ribbon sticks out for easy access. I only put 1-2 yards of each ribbon in the bag, to make it easier for transporting. Now I can take my ribbon with me when I travel to crops and other events. And now I have to find more ribbon to fill up the bag. The sides and back are full, but I still have to wrok on filling the front!


UPDATE: I've been asked a few questions:
1) Does the bag hold rolls or scraps? I have about 1-2 yards of each ribbon in the bag. I started with the entire lot of ribbon, without the spool, but I couldn't put all of it in the bag. So, I have "scraps." I suppose you could put rolls in it, but it doesn't have any rods; you'd have to just place the spools in the bag.
2) Where did I get this fun bag? I got mine at 7kidscollegefund.com This was the best price at around $17. I saw them for as much as $37 on other sites!

Ahh...Another moment to stamp! Actually, I was under pressure, but I think that's when I do my best work! I can actually say, "I like this card!" I don't do that very often. This was a fun card to make, and rather quick. It is slightly altered from the original "plan," but I think I like the end result!

I used:
  • Doodle This stamp set
  • Curvy Verses Stamp set
  • Regal Rose CS & Re-inker & ink pad
  • Bashful Blue CS & Re-inker
  • Certainly Celery CS & Re-inker & ink pad
  • Bravo Burgundy Ink pad
  • Vintage Brad
  • Watercolor brush

The weather is FINALLY getting nice, but I'll escape to the basement to stamp as often as I can!

Thanks for looking!
