Hi guys! Laura here! Like many crafters -I'm a mum. Many is the time I'll read a post on forums about our pesky kids nicking our stash. Well I think we should fight back-and steal theirs!!! I will confess I've done this for a few years. My favourite, as the title suggest, is Hama beads. their are FAB! As you can see in the phot, I've used them for a valentine, but they are ideal to make up for scrapbook pages. Even better if your little stash provider has made the embellishment for you!( I still have a goldfish waiting to grace a page!)
Another great one to use is blopens. If you are not familiar with them , they are pens you blow through the top which then creates a mist ( very similar in look to typical scrapbook sprays but a lot more budget friendly)
This is a very old layout using them. ( Told you I'd been raiding the kids crafts for years!)
So maybe you could help tidy the kids rooms today *winks* You may find some hama's, blo pens, aqua beads, zubber just crying out for your creative touch! One final thought though - I am not a archival safe kinda gal- so just be careful with your photographic treasures (unlike me!) Bye xxx
Love this turning of the tables. I HAVE to get me some of those blow pens
