    Noelle this was great . I love you ideas for using catalog. I make a lot of cards so I could use these ideas on the cards also.

    Thank you for the free video! I enjoyed your unique ideas for repurposing items- I think I’m off to look at mail I just picked up! Thanks!

  • Heather Beasley

    Wow! This was fantastic, Noel! I had never thought of using stuff like that. You are brilliant. My mind is swimming with ideas. (BTW, I have a daughter with the most beautiful name – Noelle. Spelled differently than your name, but sounds the same!)

  • Lori

    Thanks for the free video – so many great ideas. I hadn’t thought of using the clear bags like transparencies – definitely want to try that.

    Aw, that was great, Noell! I especially enjoyed seeing how you store your bits of tags and words and such. I have been saving stuff like that since forever, but without a good system to store and retrieve (aka “use”) them, they just pile up in misc. drawers and boxes. You showed me some other ways of keeping them so they can be used regularly. Thanks for making that tutorial available for free, and Happy Birthday Month to Paperclipping! Awesome!

    Thanks for sharing this video!  I have been saving tags and things that come in the mail to use in my art journal, but I’d love to start incorporating them into my scrapbooks.  I love your advice on how to store them.  Currently I have things stored by color, but I’m finding that I just don’t work that way!  Do you spray items with any kind of archival spray, or are you just not concerned with that?  I don’t tend to worry about it.  I think a Paperclipping Membership is going on my Christmas Wish List!

    I have Archival Mist and I’ve sprayed here and there but usually I don’t worry about it, especially most of my supplies and the backgrounds are acid-free. My concern is with preserving the original digital files of the photos more than with the prints (which I think tend to last better than we give them credit for anyway).

    I hope you enjoy your Christmas membership if you get it! :)
