I NEED Better Storage so I am Upcycling Anna Griffin!

[@craftycathygranata1714]

I love the original box!! It has a label on it and the contents are easily identifiable!

[@myrnahartley8710]

I love your idea and that little piece in the inside is so cute.Tfs. I upcycled one into a purse. you open it up and paper the inside and then outside, add a handle, and but a few flowers and embellishments and voila we have a cute handbag. Thanks again😍😍😍

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

YES!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!! You have given me an idea! I got Anna's purse die!!! MUST use it! I will definitely credit you with the inspiration!!! THANK YOU for watching! XOXOXO 🥰🥰

[@aidamartinez5282]

I’m 72 years old and make Scrapbook Albums for my Family and friend when they ask my hands have been my problem With carpal tunnel and nerve damage and surgery but my craft has always been my go to I have the First Cricut, and Sizzix Machines and tools. Losing my Husband & Mom, Crafting helps me in stay focused and busy.🥰👏🕯🙏

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

Crafting is my therapy! It feeds my soul so to speak and sooths me after my work day. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy making this silly videos of mine. I well know I am NOT the end all/be all, but I just love talking to all of you as I play. Maybe if I talked less and made more, I would make all my bloopers and my videos would be shorter, but then I would not be me and there would be no "Maddness." LOL THANKS for watching! Happy Holidays!! XOXOXO 🥰

[@dorisbrennan4559]

I love your videos and you, please keep up the fun videos. They are very inspirational and fun. Can't wait to see more.

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

You are absolutely far too kind! thank you so much. I've had to take a bit of a sabbatical due to Life, but I'm literally right now editing new content so stay tuned! Thank you so much for watching! XOXOXO 🥰🥰

[@irenealexander1685]

Thanks for the video. I won’t use the plastic containers, but I will get those drawers to put in my cube space. It will be a game changer for organization. I like the product you use to undo the boxes. Very informative video. I am a fan of Anna’s clear stamps. The impressions are always gorgeous and clear. I have read numerous complaints that she uses cheap products for her stamps and have never figured out why.

[@lynneclark7902]

This popped up and I decided to go ahead and watch it again. I don’t have a bunch of ephemera kits, but I do have plenty of AG kits. So, you inspired me to organize them. I went to WM and bought a large clear bin. I gathered my Anna boxes from hither, nither, and yon, and put them all in the bin. (Well, most of them fit in the bin.). I actually made up 5 cards last week! Oh, and I will definitely be recycling boxes!

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

YAY! I found the rest of my Anna Griffin stash in storage week ago. My stash now fills 3 CUBBIES and a 4th one is all the paper. EEEP! I broke down all the kits I could and filled a bin and still have more that I need to break down. I ran out of containers! ACK! We WILL soldier on. I have realized my room is not large enough so I have to decide what will reside in the room with me and what will overflow into the garage 2 x 4 and file cabinet. Decisions Decisions. What I know is I'm going to have one hell of a crafting yard sale with what I have set aside that MUST GO! Not counting what has been set aside for "give aways!" Thanks for watching! XOXOXO 🤣🥰

[@lynneclark7902]

@@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354 now here’s a question: Are you getting rid of stuff you haven’t touched, or stuff that you’ve used and are done with? I just can’t bear to part with things. I have, however, been working on cards from my AG big birthday box. I am at my daughter’s for the week, babysitting the cats. So far, I made 6, and going strong.

[@bethwitschey5046]

Agree about AG stamps! They always seem to stamp "fuzzy" to me and I don't have problems with other stamps!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

I purchased clear pencil holder boxes from Amazon. They are about 8.2 by 4.6 by 2.75 inches. or so. They stack nicely and I love that I can see though them. I use them as I work on a project for the ephemera for that project. I would also use the poinsettia image on top of the box and front too. I am very visual so having a photo of the flower would be best for me. I love your storage solution. Your card turned out great.

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

And THIS is why I LOVE doing these videos. I learn as much from all of you as I share! THANKS for the heads up Marilyn! XOXOXO 🥰

[@jamicamburn8901]

You are amazing! We craft in the same way. You have given me confidence do be me and create without overthinking ❤.

[@lindahartell8610]

Hello! It's autumn 2023 and I'm just watching your video. I've always hated the boxes. As I use the contents they tend to collapse. I don't think they are very sturdy. I keep my ephemera in clear sweater boxes. It's the dies that I struggle with. Your card is lovely!

[@susanair3611]

Sorry, I don't understand your thoughts. Put the original packages in your bin with a label on each.

[@stephaniemcknight4347]

You are A-Mazing!!!! I, too, have a zillion of Anna's card making and ephemera kits. Thank you for this fabulous idea!!! I will be adopting your great idea!! Thank you! I also subscribed to see what else you come up with!!!!!!!!

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

THANK YOU! I have moments when I actually come up with a good idea! LOLOL Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! XOXOXO 🥰

[@sharonmiller7674]

Hi new to your channel! Looking forward to your next one! Thank you!

[@originalclassic9248]

It makes no sense to me… lots of extra time, extra money for what gain? I’m clearly missing something…

[@BerniBernsify]

This popped up in my feed again. How did this work out for you ? At the time this was released I had trouble understanding moving the ephemera from 1 box to a different box 😂 I figured something was lost in translation thru video. are the bins smaller than the AG boxes ?

[@PaperToPetals]

Great idea! Love the card! I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m a new subie and I clicked the bell for all your videos. Love the chat and the music too! Thanks for all the tips and technics. Happy Holidays, Season’s Greetings! Be well, stay safe.

[@kmatto_kmatto]

Nice upcycle. It reminds me of your tissue box cards! :)

[@aidamartinez5282]

You are Right Every Paper Trim or Cuter are not the same in cutting I found that out by Trial and Error myself and also I have used Big Cereal Boxes to hold my Magazine Double the box to make it strong. Love your Demo and you have me Laughing so I Enjoy Listing to you talk you make it Fun ❤😅 Happy Holidays

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

Aida if I made you laugh then I've done my job!!! Knowing THAT makes my day! THANKS for watching! Happy Holidays!! XOXOXO 🥰

[@micblock6581]

I use my containers also for storage. Never thought to put them inside something like a IKEA bin. Great idea! What is the black thing connected to the Goo Gone bottle you are using to take the sticky stuff off your paper? Thanks for your tutorial!

[@tarabeard]

Great way to recycle the box. Where did you get “Big Daddy?”

[@dianapuddy9552]

I think I’m missing something…. Why are you destroying a beautiful ephemera box just put them in a black plastic box which has the same amount of space? What am I missing ?

[@teresamorgan4529]

Does the Undo stain the cardstock?

[@yvonneduffy6812]

Beautiful box, shame you didn’t just leave it as was.

[@elizabethnovak4951]

I’ve only gotten as far as the un-du mention and I was stopped in my tracks. I used this YEARS ago and loved it although I had trouble finding it. I always marveled how it never damaged anything even when it spilled everywhere. It just evaporated! I see that giant bottle you spoke about and cannot believe the price per ounce difference between that one and the four ounce one. So all this just to ask you, do you find it works just the same? The labels are pitching to different people and talk about different purposes. Since you’re refilling your small bottle with the big bottle I figure you’re the expert on if they behave the same way. Thanks in advance to you or anyone else that has this info and answers my question.

[@rayleinechagoya1988]

Hello my friend. Love this 💡 idea. Miss your voice.

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

OMG!!! GIRL! MISS YOU IMMENSELY! SO GLAD to see you peeking in on me!!!! BIG BIG HUG! XOXOXOXO 🥰❤😘

[@glendamock2041]

Please why tape runner are you using? Thanks

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

It's a Scotch 3M ATG gun. You can find it on line and I believe Michael's still carries it! I've had mine for years. It took a small learning curve to get used to it but now I won't use any other. You can find the refill tapes (off brand, i.e., made in China) on Amazon for cheap as well. I order at least a dozen at a time. Thank you for watching! Happy Happy Holidays to you! XOXOXO 🥰

[@lindaames8666]

Why didnt you add links to the products

[@carolynpicken6949]

Where did you buy these storage containers

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

Believe it or not I snagged them at Home Goods! It's were I've gotten a lot of my clear plastic storage containers as well. THANKS for watching! Happy Holidays!! XOXOXO 🥰

[@SSt-f4r]

Not a big fan of A. G. She's all about those intricate embellishments and covering up so much of them.

[@berkbuns]

I don’t know which stuff has the green label that doesn’t work, but does Goo-Gone work for you?

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

Here in Cailfornia, in retail stores you can only get UnDu with a green label. Don't even bother. I have not tried GooGone, though I do have it here in the house. The thing with UnDu is that it does NOT damage your paper at all. Thank you so much for watching!!! XOXOXOXO 🥰
