Swirly Bird Tag

Happy Friday Ladies ~ Today I created a Swirly Bird Tag card that is super cute!

I took yesterday and did something just for me.  I went to the yarn store and spent almost the whole afternoon there.  I needed a break from all the chaos here.  I wanted to make sure all my peeps knew before I announced it here.  I have been busy painting and organizing to put my house on the market.  When it sells I am moving to North Carolina.  It has been a challenge trying to organize my craft supplies so I can continue creating and holding my classes.  Over the next few days I will be sharing some of the organizing things I have been using.

Let’s start with paper ~ if you are planning a move or even a remodeling you may need to empty your craft room.  When faced with that daunting task, you need to have a way to organize your paper.  I began with 9″ x 12″ Office Depot Job Ticket holders.  I got mine from Amazon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took one holder for each color and added my opened packs of paper and scraps.  If I had unopened packs I added them behind the holder with that color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now that I had all my paper in a holder, I needed a way to organize all my paper.  I had Kallex shelf units from Ikea on my walls.  In the units I had cloth Drona boxes in the openings.  These were perfect for the holders and paper.  I have all my paper ~ all the collections and the In Colors ~ in 3 of these boxes.  I have some colors that have more than one package of paper and I just have them behind the holder.  This has been great as I can move the boxes from room to room as needed.  I have them currently under a table I have in my craft room and can pull them out as needed.  I hope this idea will help any of you that may need to organize your paper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are you ready for a Fast & Fabulous idea?  This one was the result when I ran across a tag challenge on one of my challenge blogs and decided I wanted to play with the idea.  Here is my video showing how I created this card.

 

 

 

Here is the photo of the card.
