Moments

I have about fifteen clear plastic clamshell boxes I’ve labeled and am using to store stamping castoffs, die cuts of all kinds, stamped rejects, dry embossed panels, stamped images, and all manner of leftovers from previous projects I’ve done over the last twenty five years.  When the Muse is being snarky, the contents of these boxes never fail to jumpstart my creativity . . .

 

Except for the small tree, everything on this card came from those boxes.  They are quite full, so my new plan is to dive into this stash for at least every other card I make and see if I can lighten them up.  Using those containers is a real timesaver and a great help in composition:  having various elements already complete and right in front of me truly helps in putting together a layout.
