    Ingrid! Your creativity is on 🔥🔥🔥! I was mesmerized by this project! I would love to try it, and really appreciate you leaving in the steps along the way where you would do something different in the future. I’m such a Dollar Tree junkie, and I’m having to use restraint when I go in, so I don’t keep collecting and hoarding. I’m banned from buying stickers, rub-ons, and ribbons! I probably should extend it to yarn and fabric as well! Interestingly, I just bought four more of the seed packets on Friday, because I think they make great jj pockets. I’d love to see what you might do with them. I made mini faux Polaroids with them a couple of years ago, by using a square punch on the flower pictures, the attached them to glossy photo paper and cut the Polaroid shape around them. Sorry for the novel-I’m a maximalist when it comes to words!,😂❤❤❤

      I couldn’t LOVE your words more! I devoured each one! I think the key is using your supplies…and look at it this way, the more you use the more room you make for more goodies! 😂 A brick just hit me in the head! I cannot believe that I never thought of using the seed packets for crafting!!! What a great idea! My wheels are turning now! Thank you!!! Thank you for your inspiration, and for each of your words!! 💗💗💗

      @@karatootie Thank you for your great ideas. Really the potato chip bag works GREAT! I use them for everything. I do alot of crafts with my grandchildren. So, I use them for napkins, tissue paper, if I am painting or stamping lace. Working on page edges. Absolutely everything. When the glue or the paint or the mod podge dries, the project slides off. I used some one ply brown napkins, (Wendy's) I glues them down, 2 layers and I crinkled the edge with my brush. It looks just like, oh what's it called?, PARCHMENT paper. I used them to make treasure maps for my Grandson's birthday party! Try the potato chip bag! Works great! Happy craft, God bless!

    SOOOOOOO CUTE! Now you can add "mad" scientist to your accolades, Ingrid. And I mean "mad" in the most complimentary way! 😄 I finally figured out the embossing...strickly trial and error on the use of sandwich layers to support the project...which means I do a LOT of switching and adjusting the "sandwich" layers. I LOVE to emboss, so I can kind of just "eye" the embossing folder and decide how much or little of a "sandwich" it needs. LOVE this project...yours are the first videos I watch!!!

      Was just thinking…. maybe use up some of the really ‘chunky’ but cheapo potpourri that is in the cello bags & the bigger elements LOOK pretty, but the mixture often doesn’t smell as nice as we’d hoped… might work great crushed up in this kind of project…
