My Clean Craftroom!

Yesterday, I tidied up my craftroom (or at least half of it!) I managed to find places for a lot of the stuff that was on my desk and uncovered a whole lot of space! I can see twice as much of my non-stick craft sheet now and more on my cutting mat as well!

I also uncovered most of my other table in the craft room. Normally it is covered with half finished projects and books that I have been browsing to get inspiration.

I even vacuumed the floor and tidied the boxes on top of the cupboard!

Now I can have a friend over to play with my inky stuff!

Favourite Tips

If you need a brad of a particular colour and don't have one, check to see if you have some embossing powder of the colour you want . Rub embossing ink on the top of the brad, then dip it into the embossing powder then heat set it. Use tweezers or a clip peg to hold the brad while you heat it.
When you are stitching on cards, make sure you are not sewing over the top of DS tape! The needle gets gummed up and won't lock the threads underneath.
Use zip lock plastic envelopes for smaller pieces of card offcuts that accumulate when making cards. Have one envelope per colour and periodically go through and trim up so they are ready for use on another card.
