Now for my Wacky Wednesday Tip - It's a video this time, hopefully it turns out OK.

I have tried to edit the video all day and was unable to do it....so here goes

iT won't upload, I know I am doing something wrong...not sure so. I will get some help in the next few days and post it when I learn how to upload it.

In the meantime I will share a photo of Frances and I stamping together at her house.   She is a demonstrator I met several years ago and now we live about 45 minutes from each other!  Notice our "neat and organized" table while stampin'.   

Enjoy and I hope you get sometime to be creative today.

Carol's Wacky Wednesday Tips for Paper Crafting

Today's Tip is with Stampin' Up's Paper Stacks....  You know how you take papers out, trim and use for a project, then you are left with some scraps that you can't just throw away!   Where to keep them? Organized  and where they aren't all over the place.....

Here is my solution!

I took one of the many cello bags I have. This one was the perfect size.  I used my snail on the back of the paper stack and pressed the bag onto the snail.   Make sure you have the bag opening close to the binding of the stack, close and store as usual.   I keep my small stacks on the same shelving as my stamps since they are close to the same size.

I hope this tip helps you with storing your paper scraps from your paper stacks!.

How do you store yours?   Leave me a comment below, I would love to hear your tips.

Enjoy and I hope you get a chance to create something today.

Getting Creative…..

Sometimes this is SO hard to do.   So many interruptions, facebook, twitter, instagram, the kids, work, family, friends, wanting to go outside take a walk……

This afternoon while checking facebook, yep another interruption…..I challenged a fellow demonstrator to avoid another interruption and create something…   We each did.   I will share something from the new catalog, something we made at convention using our convention stamp set we got for free.   It is great for Christmas but also for any gift giving event….

Before I share the cards, let me share another form of interruptions....the craft desk!!!!!

How can anyone be creative in this mess???? Well I did get creative and made a few cards, got some out in the mail. Worked on this blog post and made 2 of the 4 projects for the Card Class I the mail.  I cleaned it up somewhat so that I can get creative again tomorrow.

Here's the cards from the set, Your Presents, Christmas and Birthday, so versatile.

Enjoy and get creative no matter what interruptions you face today.
