 As I was going through my craft supplies, I came across some Scribbles, 3D paint.  I don't remember exactly why I bought this. I think it was to add dimension to my scrapbook pages. And, it probably did. But now, it has just been sitting around. In fact, I found this brand new bottle. I figured it was dried out. But, oh no. They were as good as new! After seeing some ideas on Facebook, I decided to come up with some ideas of my own. Here's what I did. Dimensional Shapes I was on Ali Edwards' December Daily Facebook Group and saw that someone had created puffy paint stars. I thought, what a great idea. I have 3D paint, so I'll use what I have. Here are my stars. Just know that there are quite a few attempts in my garbage can. LOL There's a lot you can do with these stars. Put them on your journal cards. Use them on planner or  journal pages. Staple them on. Glue them on. See what happens. To the right is example of my attempt. Looks like a starry night to me. I inc...

  If you've ever painted a room, you've taken a trip to the paint store or Do-it-Yourself store. There you found a wall full of paint chips to help you decide what color to paint your room.

I, like so many others, have a large amount of craft supplies. I could probably open my own craft store. I could be considered a supply collector. Or, a crafter who had a fear of missing out if I didn't get the latest and greatest tools and supplies. I held on to these treasures until the perfect opportunity came along. I knew that I would use the items some day, but then some day never came.  With COVID-19 causing us to stay at home, I began to clean my craft room. I found so many wonderful things. Items I didn't remember having, and now I forgot how to use them. Here are just a few things I found: stencils, embossing powder, my Cricut with multiple cartridges, my Big Shot machine and multiple dies, and so much more. Right then and there, I decided it was time to take the old and make it new again. And, that has been my adventure in 2020 and moving forward. I'm going to shop my stash.
