If you stopped by yesterday, you saw the card that I created using the Fernbrae 6x6 paper pack. If you missed that post, look here. Today, I wanted to show you how to get the most out of your Memory Box paper packs!
After creating yesterday's card, I had these scraps leftover:
I always slide the scraps back into the pack with the other papers and then put them back into the packaging. No scrap is too small to save in my opinion! The sentiment on yesterday's card was literally on a 1 1/2" x 1" piece of Fernbrae paper!
That is one thing I love about Memory Box 6x6 packs--the package! It makes them easy to store "as is," and you don't loose your scraps. Other companies put them in a pack that is bound with glue at the top. How can you save your scraps easily once you have pulled them out of the pack? You can't but because Memory Box papers are in a resealable package, the scraps can stay together with all of the other papers making them easy to use! And believe me, I need every scrap because I love to use scraps!
I store my Memory Box paper packs in alphabetical order and keep them in my bin storage. Works perfectly, and I can always find what I need.
Now, what about that front sheet in the package that has the collection name and description of the paper pack? Don't throw it away! Use the top section without the description! That cover piece is the same acid free/lignin free paper as the rest in the package so why not use it! You actually get an extra sheet of paper that way!
So, those are my tips for today! Happy crafting, and I will see you later this week with another creation!
