Design Tips

In an earlier entry I think I mentioned a great scrapbooking book called clean and simple. I happened upon the writer's blog and it contains some great design tips, inspiration, etc. Check it out!

Oh, yeah there is sequel to the book too. I wonder if anyone would get me those books for my birthday? (hint, hint)

Cleaning Out my Craft Room

Yes, spring cleaning if often not the most glamorous of jobs but it's has to be done. Not sure when my supplies have last been 'cleaned out' but I am creating quite a pile. Trying to be a bit brutal about it too. Not only are paper doubles going but papers not quite my style. Packaging them all up to take to LSS, Paper Trails, to sell at their 2nd hand table.

Tip: the extra large ziploc bags from Zellers fit 12x12 papers quite easily. They would be great for organizing layouts to take to work on at an upcoming crop.

I guess I should probably swing by that shop to see if they can handle everything that I intend to bring!
