Use Your Stash

Here's an idea that's perfect for using up all your scrapbooking stash...gift tags.

If you are anything like me, you have tons of scrapbooking supplies, stamps, stickers, and especially paper. So I decided to get out all my supplies and have some fun.

I stared with tags that I've had forever, because you can buy them at your local office supply store for $5.00 for 100 tags, so they last a long time!

I tried stamps first. You can't get any easier than these! A little glimmer mist or stickles and ink the edges. Perfect!

Next I used some scrap pattern paper, round tags, stickers, brads, and buttons. 

Finally, I got a little more fancy, layering some paper with punches, embossing, and using a left over 3D stickers sheet from last years December Daily.  

Any of these could be used on a bottle of wine as a hostess gift. Super cute! or on all your gifts!

I also found these adorable printables (free) and thought they'd be really cute to use on tags or on presents alone.

So enjoy them!  

Happy Holidays!

Time to Decorate

December is here and it’s time to finish up decorating for the holiday. What? You don’t want to spend a lot of money. Well, no worries. You can make decorations using some old paperback books, old music books, magazines, and even newspaper that you probably have lying around the house. And many of these are great for making with the kids!

Here’s a Christmas tree and a wreath I made using an old paperback book that was just lying around the house. I love the simple, vintage look.

Here are some awesome links to projects you will love:

Ornaments: here, here, here, here and here

Wreaths: here, here, here and here

Garlands: here, here, and here

Trees (these are my favorite!): here, here, here and here

And a few other decorating ideas: here, here and here

And in case you used a hard cover book, don’t throw away the cover….check this out!! Maybe you can give it as a gift!

Now run...find a book...and have fun creating!
