A friend (yes, you Gina Hubbard) got me started making my own embellishments.
I got out a few supplies to get me started:
Ha! By the time I finished gathering supplies
I could have gone to a craft store and bought these embellies in the dollar bin.
But that's not the point - right?
Here's what I ended up with:
I'm currently storing these on heavy chipboard
that's leftover from
And then stacking them in an old shoe box.
I'm thinking this is a great way to use up scrap paper.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
and posting on
Hi Nancy, what a fantastic idea! Love how they've turned out, and I agree great for using up scraps and oddments. And much more satisfying than store bought. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #16 XxX

They are gorgeous and you'll always have just the right embellishment for the job making your own. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing. Sarah #12

I'm so glad that somebody else uses shoe boxes and cardboard boxes for storage. They're quite handy and cheap. Your embellishments are lovely! Have a great week!
