Scrap Paper Clean Up!!

One of my favorite materials to work with is PAPER! As is evident in a lot of my work since it is generally made from paper:) But...one of the things that tends to happen is that there are left overs when I make other projects or scrapbook. Many people might throw away the leftovers, or recycle them...but not me! I like to use my paper to the very end...to where there is no possible way to get any more of anything out of it!~

With all that said, that leaves me quite the box full of scrap paper, and the conundrum of what to do with all of it! Below is a pic of the box of paper, and some of the most recent projects that I have been working on using ONLY my scrap paper. There are other projects that I have already done, (see my fairy tags or my unicorn tags in my Etsy shop) and by the looks of the box there will be plenty more coming! Stay tuned!

This is a set of 8 cards that each measure 3x3" Made only using my scrap paper!

This is a set of 6, 3x3 Mini cards that were also made using my leftovers. These are great for many things...maybe you just need a quick little card for a gift, or they are also great for sending a sweet little note in your child's lunch box...what a nice surprise for them come lunch time! I am always in need of a little card or gift tag, so these are very nice to have handy!

Both of these sets of cards will be listed in my etsy shop, so feel free to stop by...comments are always welcome and appreciated! Hope you have a wonderful day!!

Coops Crafty Corner on Etsy

Today I thought I would share a little about my shop on Etsy. I make a variety of things, and have a ton of ideas about things I want to make. However, right now it seems that the majority of items in my shop are cards! Not everyone sends out cards anymore, but really, there is nothing like getting a good old-fashioned card in the mail! And, I love making them!

Here are a couple Mother's Day cards and a Father's Day card featured in my shop. Hard to believe it is already Mother's Day...didn't we just start 2010?

Another favorite thing I like to make are sets of note cards. I like to distress edges, and sometimes a whole object, as you will see with the following cards. It is so much fun to make these! Hope you like! Stop by Coops Crafty Corner anytime to see more goodies!

Thank you Fairy Much!

So for the last couple of days I have been working on these lovely little thank yous in my spare time. I haven't had a whole lot of spare time because my youngest did not want to nap for me when the other was napping! Such is life sometimes! Anyway, I made these to send to my family for the wonderful birthday presents that they sent me a couple weeks ago. I am running a little late getting them out, but better late than never!

I made these 4x4 thank yous using a cute little fairy stamp that I have had for many years. I also really like using ink to distress edges, as you can tell,...check out my etsy shop if you want to see some of my other distressed items! Anyway, just a fun little project to send out my many thanks! Hope you enjoy!

Special Requests

One of the things I have been doing, along with just making my own projects to put on my site, is creating cards or items that someone requests. These two cards are the most recent requests from one of my best customers. She needed a graduation card, and a Mother to be card. So, these are the cards I came up with. If ever you see something on here that you like, you can check my Etsy shop to see if I have something like that on there, or ask me personally to create one for you! Of course, no two items will ever look exactly alike, but they can look close! Hope you like these cards! Have a great Monday!
