How I store my snippets

 I am a saver.  I cant throw anything away.  And now that we are moving, that is becoming a problem and I have to downsize.  That is why I have the items for sale in Lot 1,2.3 and 4.  There will be more coming but for now, thats a good start.
So lets get started with MY SNIPPETS!!

Here is my quick and easy place to put my scraps after a project.  The large box are pieces larger in one way or another that the size of a typical card base.  The smaller box would be anything smaller that a card base.  I leave these containers just like they are and are my quick and easy place to go to when I am looking for a SNIPPET.  This is a quick and easy way to clean up after a crafting session without spending a ton of time on the detail of colors.  Most of the time I use most everything in this box so why sort to just take out again anyway?

If I dont find what I am looking for here, then I can look in two other places.

If I am looking a piece much bigger then I go to my black organizer which is a paper organizer on its side.  Here is where I have larger pieces of cardstock stored in large 12x12 zip top bags: by colors like blue, green, pink and so on.

Once in a while I clean out the top two boxes and sort them into the following containers.  I use quart size bags to sort each by their specific color.  So I have about 8 different blues and 3 oranges and so on.  The first container is all white, colonial white and black pieces.

Thanks for stopping by and leave me a comment on HOW YOU SORT YOUR SNIPPETS!  Thanks and have an inky good day!

Pixie's Crafty Workshop has my very first challenge!

I found this wonderful blog that I would like to share.  Its called Pixies Crafty Workshop. Her website is awesome.  She calls it the playground.  What a fun nickname.  I sent her an email and she to back with me right away, several times actually and invited me to come to the playground, she would "save me a swing".  I thin we are going to be good friends and hope to meet a few of the other girls who come to "play".

This website has an awesome perspective on its challenges.  Anything goes as long as you use snippets.  Easy enough for me cause I usually go for them first whenever I am making anything small enough.  I will create a seperate post showing how I store my snippets and maybe you will like this idea too.

So here is My card. I was inspired by a card here on Pinterest.  I love to go there and use this artwork to inspire me.  If I like the card, why not make one for myself?  I might not have all the items the other person uses and I might change up a few things too like I did with my card.

 On the front of my card I used a layering technique that Patti  has used a couple times and I totally love it.  Its a bit of work but I feel it is worth it.  Visit her blog here. 

 My supply list is below.  I hope you have enjoyed my card.  

I will be entering this card in:

Craft Items for Sale Lot 4

We need to downsize for our move so I would like to offer some of my craft supplies for sale to you.  Please sign up to follow my blog so you can see what is new each time I post new items.  I have so much to offer, I am sure I have something that will tickle your fancy.
Many of my items will be CTMH (Close To My Heart) but as I decide to down size more, there will be a variety of companies to pick from.
Shipping has been a real stumbling block on how to make this simple for you and accurate enough for me.  So what I came up with is this.

CTMH stampsets in 6x6 storage envelopes:

Buy:
1 stampset, shipping is $2.75
2-4 stampset, shipping is $2.25 each
5-10 stampset, shipping is $1.25 each
Spend $75.00 or more and get free shipping

Most of these stampsets are lightly used.  Even the used ones will be in perfects stamping condition, but might be discolored by ink, which is normal and will happen to all stampsets eventually.  There is nothing wrong with the sets.
All stampsets will come with all the stamps originally included in the set along with the carry sheet, foam cushion and storage envelop for that set.  Nothing is missing unless otherwise stated.
