Did I mention last week that Sarah had made some little pockets at the Lavinia weekend? They are for putting tags in, and on, and the idea is that you add them, via the paperclip, to your journal pages. Well, I made some just for myself, just for a bit of fun and I so enjoyed doing them.
As you can see the tags on top of the pocket are held on with a safety pin - cute idea or what? Well I liked them and I have lots of safety pins, all sizes and colours. Think I will make some more - all you need is some left over bits of card that you have salvaged from other work.
I got a fantastic parcel the other day and should have taken a photograph when it was all on my desk but I didn't - I did a video instead - but then I put everything away and so my desk is empty. Well, it has my bag on at the moment as I am packing up early for the class on Saturday. I will be loading my video up on my You Tube channel shortly, never done a parcel 'reveal' before. My friend Jayne does lots of them but then she is brilliant at making videos, she knows how to edit them and everything. With me you get what you see, warts and all - and no introduction, Jayne's are fab!.
So, as I have nothing interesting to show you I thought I would give you a glance at my ink storage. I have put some inks (Brilliance and ColorBox) which are not used often, in a drawer. The ones you see are the ones I mainly use the whole time and I need another cabinet for my Oxides as my brown ones are stacked up haphazardly in a compartment above Spencer, my little Teddy,
Starting at the top you have left and right my Adirondacks, down a layer and left are my odds (Ancient Page, Colorbox Chalk, Versamagic, Versacolor (minis) and Catherine Pooler) and to the right are some Distress Inks with Puss in Boots on guard (swoon over Antonio Banderas doing the voice over). Next down with the little green Cricut Bug are my Versafine Claire's and opposite more Distress Inks with a cute little felted Rabbit my American friend made me. Down again and we have Spencer Bear lounging in his deck chair - the inks are packed up in my bag (some Lavinia ones) and below that are a mixture of Encore Metallics, Castaway, Versamagic (full sized), Opalites, Memento's, Archival, Stazon, The Ton, and Wendy Vechi.
In my new ink stands are my Oxides and this is what I need for my brown ones that you can see on top of Spencer's box. My other Lavinia ones are in a drawer as are my not much used ones mentioned above - a total of two drawers - do you think I have too many inks?
If I still have an empty desk next week i will show you somewhere else and how I store other things. C U!
