Washi Tape Love!!!

I love, love washi tape. I use it all the time for everything. Tack down a photo into a mini album, as a boarder on the bottom, side or anywhere on an art journal page. I use washi to mark my daughters school supplies. My journal currently has washi down the side of every page- just because it is fun and colorful!

I recently went on a scrap escape with my besties. It was an awesome week of sun and fun and scrappin. The challenge when travel scrappin or even just going to a crop is how to bring lots of fun goodies without taking up a lot of space. I came up with this great idea to add washi to my travel case without taking up a lot of space. Drumroll please...

Tada! I simply took a piece of acetate from packaging and wrapped my washi around it. Now it is totally portable- audience claps wildly! Now go get your washi and get organized!

Sand & Sea Treasure Box

In my quest to refuse to let go of summer I have created this treasure box with some great products by Canvas Corp Brands and 7Gypsies. The best part - this will be the project for my first travel class!!! I will be teaching Oct. 4th from 1-4pm at The Paper Inn in Bradenton, FL. You can email them at thepaperinn@yahoo.com or call 941-904-0061 . 

We will be making this fun box using Eileen Hull' Designs Train Case by Sizzix.

You can use it for photos, recipes, stamped images, lists, addresses... the potential is endless! Makes a great gift too. As I am refusing to let summer go I am also ignoring that other big holiday that involves lots of gifts in December, but I have family that will love this handmade gem. Canvas Corp Brands products are beautiful and easy to work with.  We will also be adding color and glimmer with the Tattered Angels products of paints. I hope to see you there!!!
