Random Letter & Number Organization

Okay so we're all guilty of it... we pull out chipboard letter, lay them on our layout, and then decide not to use them... at least I am guilty of this {please tell me I'm not alone}.  Then when you go to stick them BACK onto their packaging, they won't {stick} - especially Thickers {I LOVE this about them, honestly, I love it that I can stick them on my layout and not have to worry about ripping the paper when I pull them off... call me crazy, but I don't mind taking my MS Glue Pen to them to get them to {actually} stick!}

ANYWAY... back to the topic - So, WHAT do you do with those random letters & numbers? How do you store them.  I USED to store them {all together} in a ziploc bag...never to be used again. BUT THEN I switched to this wonderful idea... FLASH CARDS!

I created pockets with random {leftover from a different project} envelopes and flashcards/alphabet books.

I found two letter/alphabet books at a local Thrift Store for less than 25 cents {you need two because you need the FRONT AND BACK of each page}.  I then cut out the pages.  I sealed up the envelope and then cut off the top to the size I needed {they are stored in a recollections 4-drawer cube...one day I will get pics of my scrappy room posted...one day}

Then I cut the page down to size, adhered the two pieces together and...

rounded the top corners... they sort-of resemble a LARGE library card pocket.  

FOR THE {RANDOM} NUMBERS I did the same thing, only on a smaller scale {due to the size of the flash cards}

They work perfect - and now that they are all separated they are much easier to FIND to USE!!

Enjoy your day!

The Possibilities Endless

Okay, so it's a bit late in the day to be posting...but what the heck! THIS is my Adorable {youngest} Nephew, Zood...and his adorable ears! 

The Future Is Bright

{THE POSSIBILITIES ENDLESS}

  {and pictured WITHOUT the hidden journaling envelope}

The LARGE chipboard letters were plain...so I gave them a good coat of TREMCLAD paint to brighten them up! Also, I used SMASH refill tape in my DYMO CAPTION MAKER -which is extremely exciting, because it comes in so many wonderful colours!

{vintage ledger {hidden} journaling envelope}

With a few extra pieces of this and that - including a vintage light bulb and the little {ARROW} STICKER you have to remove from your new box of TINFOIL! {scrappy supplies are everywhere!}

I cut the 'half circle' with my KREAXION'S CIRCLE CUTTER and removed that piece entirely {so what you are seeing is my desk and the top of the scanner}

SEE! my fingers go right through it!
