Tea Bag miniature book Mrs Frisby and the RATS of NIMH

 Miniature Tea bag book- Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH Measurements: cup 1-3/4W x 1-1/4H. Tea Pot 1-3/4W X 1-3/8H inches. Favorite story of my daughter. I gave her the used tea for mulch, pressed the bags and made her this little book.

Baby food jars - repurpose into storage organizing jars.

I keep re-organizing the Studio only to find I am just moving things from one place to another.  THis attempt is to consolidate and organize.

My wonderful Daughter-In-Law has been saving baby food jars for me and she even kept the box they originally came in.  After a couple tries with different paper, I ended up with this.

I used a black Sharpie to darken all the lids.  Used my ATG double sided tape to adhere the punch tags and paper on the original box.    I am not sure if I like the paper trim around the lid.

Punched butterflies - Recycle reuse scraps of paper





Great use for scraps of cardstock paper - instead of throwing out.  Recycle - reuse.  Right now I am working on a way to use these with a tiny 'thank you' note.  A typical thank you fold over card uses an excessive amount of paper.

Recycle reuse left over cardstock scraps

Re cycle reuse.


Ended up with 1,200 scraps left over from a project and made tags with about half.  As soon as I either sell or use these, I will make more.
 
The scraps ended up making 2,000 in 3 sizes.  I donated half to the local Schools Art Class.

I like the recycle, reuse idea but it seems I have just made more things to fill up the Studio.
