Christy, You are so creative and authentic. I appreciate your honesty and humility. I enjoy learning from and being inspired by you. So glad to have found you~ 🤗 🙏🏾

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@truthbetold4178 thank you so much. I'm thrilled you're here😚❤️

[@annetterhutton1674]

This is definitely a great idea and I agree with the other people who commented stating that you don’t give yourself enough credit. You have wonderful ideas!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@annetterhutton1674 thank you so much! It's working great so far😊

Your video reminded me I had a harvest of envelopes to gather. Thank you!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@GraceBlossoms4U wonderful! My next video I'm using my junk mail envelopes for organizing my scraps. It's actually working great for me. Thank you😊❤️

I agree with others, you are too hhaard on yourself. It's greeat when you say, "You know what I mean..." I enjoy it. It makes me feel more involved in the process even if you can't hear me. My elderly mother gets tons of catalogs every week and I feel so bad just throwing them in the recycling bin. This would be a great idea for at least some of them. Thank you so much!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@InzpiredDezignz thank you so much! It's always a good feeling when we can make something pretty, or just useful instead of throwing away, for me anyway😊❤️

[@pennyrosejournals]

What a great idea! We all have that sticker back paper, fantastic reuse of it 😊

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@pennyrosejournals thank you! How do you use yours?? I would love more ideas😊❤️

[@pennyrosejournals]

@@CraftedByChristyShop I keep my clusters in a flat tackle box, it keeps them contained and fits in my drawer. The sticker paper is one of the few things I actually do throw out but now you have me thinking about how to reuse it 😂I'm not sure if I should thank you or not. Hahaha

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@pennyrosejournals 😆 I get it! Thank you. I keep a lot of my beads, jewelry, clasps, etc in them😊❤️

[@judithjones6781]

Great idea for that kind of paper. I have access toba good bit of it from a local grocery that I have been trying to come up with an idea to use it. Thanks for sharing. Happy creating.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@judithjones6781 thank you! That's great 😊❤️

[@janellemasters9714]

I would definitely use this idea! Thank you for sharing, it is a wonderful storage 💡 💡 💡!!!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@janellemasters9714 awesome!! Thank you😊

[@wendymontgomery9837]

Sweet Christy, you say you aren't good at clusters....i wish I was as good as you at all the art and craft you achieve. All I do is collect junk journaling items and watch videos. ❤Wendy

[@truthbetold4178]

Likewise! 😆

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@wendymontgomery9837 oh Wendy,,I thought you were starting with some things? Bless your heart. Please just throw all caution to the wind, grab some junk mail, and create something. That way, if you don't like it, nothing lost. It was junk mail😊 maybe make a tag, or a pocket, or a mini journal from an envelope. You're so sweet, Wendy❤️

[@Danger1972]

Such a fantastic idea! I was using the plastic page protectors in a binder, but this would work great too!❤ Wax paper will not work the same, the sticker paper carrier sheet has a protective layer of a polymer on it. The waxed paper is actual wax, and the stickers/glue runner will stick to it.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@Danger1972 thank you! I thought about that too, but mine are really flimsy. Guess I could have put cardstock in them, but I was just trying to find a use for these😊

[@Danger1972]

@CraftedByChristyShop Edited my reply to add info about the wax paper.

[@truthbetold4178]

Great idea! Thank you! 😄 👍🌲

I actually just watched a video where the girl took double sided carpet tape, put the tape on a piece of tissue paper, the size of that slick paper, printed on the slick paper, then turned it over onto the tissue paper, and rubbed the ink onto it. So basically making your own washi tape, since the ink in an inkjet printer won't stick to the slick paper, it comes off easily to the tisse paper. So another thought for use of those sheets, she said you can use the sheets about 3 times before you need to toss them. I pulled stuff out to give it a try as yep, I save them too for some unknown reason, geesh! lol. 🤔🤭 Enjoy your day Christy, I'm having another test at the hospital tomorrow, 3-4 hrs long with breaks, they said to bring something to do.... I hope the tables are big enough to hold all my journaling crafts, lol. 😂🤣😂

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@carolm9451 prayers for you my friend. I hope tomorrow goes well. I'll be thinking of you. 🙏 🤲 thank you for sharing. I'll have to check that out. Funny you say carpet tape, I just used that term in a video, and wasn't even sure if was really a thing! Lol 😆 thank you so much❤️

[@judywampler8793]

Great idea! When you pull a cluster off of the page (to use), do you need to remove the double sided tape or place another piece of paper over the tape (to keep it from sticking to the opposite page)??

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@judywampler8793 I noticed a little stayed on page, but with the other clusters on there, the pages don't lay flat against each other. I haven't noticed them sticking,, yet😊 I'll let you know if that changes. I would say if page is empty, they would stick, but the double sided tape I'm using is NOT strong. It's really not good. I'm happy to have found a use for it. Thank you😊❤️
