@juliel.2021 thank you! I enjoyed this one. I don't know why I waited so long to try it 😊❤️

[@hunnyprice9824]

such a good idea and I end up with so many of the white strips, can't throw them away lol, but never use them. Now I have Christy plan! I just love your videos, great creative projects but also laughter and giggles. you always brighten and inspire my day...thank you...😊❤😊

Love this idea❣️ I watched Gayle Agostinelli this morning, she was just praising you so much❣️

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@carynpetross5841 thank you! She's such a sweetheart. She commented a few days ago, but never dreamed she would make a video about them. I really loved her Tim holtz one. Thank you for watching😊❤️

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@jjournaldiva you're wonderful! Thank you 😊❤️

[@mistyelliott5276]

I love this idea! I subscribed the other day when you were talking about your husband and how much you laughed together. Thank you for sharing that memory. I love how down to earth you are and how “real” you are with us! Omg, my grandson, who is 3, went through a stage where every time he came over he showed up with a band aid in the middle of his forehead! You are right, boys do weird things lol! His dad was like that too lol.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@mistyelliott5276 that's hysterical!! Seriously made me laugh out loud, because I can so see navy do that, if he ever finds the band aids 😆 thank you😊❤️

[@PineWindstudioOnMulleinHill]

Great ! And loved your grandson stories.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@PineWindstudioOnMulleinHill thank you! 😊❤️ isn't that crazy!!??

[@rkug777]

I’m a new subbie! I love your style both in creativity and how you approach it casually. The type A in me has diminished over the years and this free style is liberating with no expectations like my other projects!! Your paper strips, pages and all you made are amazing!!!!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@rkug777 thank you so much!😊

[@ThumbprintCreationsbyKerry]

Interesting. I usually drop those kind of scraps in some coffee and use that to make masterboards. I will definitely try this 😊

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@ThumbprintCreationsbyKerry that's a great idea! Tyfs. I'm subscribing to your channel now. I love the marble papers 😊❤️

[@Barbarachocolate1956]

Fabulous! What fun!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@Barbarachocolate1956 thank you 😊❤️

[@PrettySassyCreations]

I forgot I have these in my stash, however is cut the papers really small. Never thought to use longer strips. Thank you for the reminder!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@PrettySassyCreations thank you Noelle!😊❤️

@GraceBlossoms4U thank you so much! I just subscribed to your channel, and I'm loving the 3d flowers! I've tried them so many times, maybe I can do this one! Thank you😊❤️

[@donnaswisher8408]

Hi! I just subscribed to your channel. Gayle Agostinelli gave us your link. She was doing page ideas that came from you. Haven't found it yet, but I'll keep looking. I do splatter papers (learned that from Louisa Heinzel (sp??). Love doing them. I use watered down acrylic paints. They turn out great. I also do alot of it using Amazon packaging (because I have a ton of it 😆) and book pages. Looking forward to seeing more of your channel. 😊

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@donnaswisher8408 👋 thank you so much for watching! It's called interactive journal page, or something like that 😆 I need to do a batch with acrylics too!😊❤️

[@carolm9451]

Oh my gosh Christy, I did something similar, and yep, I think it was Luise's video I had watched. 🤔 I had a bunch of scraps so threw them in a paper box. I was making mini journal ornaments for the family and some collage sheets from coffee dyed book pages. I was also using watercolors and acrylics on the mini journals, so I used just a small amount of water to clean my brushes, then poured the "dirty" water over my scraps and shook them up then let them dry. I also splattered some of the acrylic paints I was using on them, for the projects I was working on, and again, let it dry. I was using metallics as well, so got lots of shimmering sparkles on the scraps.🤩 They turned out awesome, they're more Christmassy in colors, which is fine, lol, so now.... where did I put that bag???.... jeepers, it's anyone's guess, lol. 😵‍💫 Love this project, and so now I need to dig around, cuz hey, you don't already have me working on a dozen projects Christy.... what's one more, lol. 💜😂🤣😂💜

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@carolm9451 oh my goodness! I love the dirty water idea! That's great😊 be sure to watch tomorrow, you're pictures are there! The first time I say you're name it glitches, not sure why🤔thank you so much, my friend 🧡 💖 ❤️

[@carolm9451]

Oh, and too funny about your grandson, I woulda died laughing. 😂🤣😂 My son had a ton of hair when he was born, the nurses said they wished he was a girl as they woulda put pink bows in it, I said if you have blue bows, I'm good with that, lol. I didn't cut his hair till he was a year old, before I cut it, I put a dress on him and pulled his hair up into a ponytail, my ex bitched the whole time, yet he was the first with the camera to take pictures, lol. My son is a very handsome man, in my opinion, lol, but sure woulda made a gorgeous little girl, I'll haveta see if I have the pictures and email them too you. 😊

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@carolm9451 oh yes! Please do! Hayden, the 14 year old has really long hair, and it's beautiful. Drove my family crazy, and that tickles me even more. They tell him to get a haircut. I told him, I don't care if you ever cut it again! I'm kind of the black sheep, obviously. I told him, your hair is beautiful, and it doesn't make you who you are. If you are judged by your hair, you don't need them in your life!

[@aliwallie496]

I’ve also just subscribed following watching Gayle Agostinelli.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@aliwallie496 that's wonderful! Thank you😊❤️

[@sharongodwin1477]

I am new to your channel and by only watching a few videos, have learned so much. I have done collage gift tags in the past, but I would love to use this technique for greeting cards. Would this add weight to the card for mailing? I also have 2 sons and 2 grandsons.....I share your pain AND bliss!!! 🤪

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@sharongodwin1477 thank you! I would think a little weight, but I wouldn't think enough to change the postage. That's a great idea btw!😊❤️

[@Danger1972]

I am going to come to your house just to remove all the price stickers from your containets! OMG! 😂 These look great! ❤

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@Danger1972 I guess, if it bothers that bad, because I can tell you, I don't care! Doesn't bother me one bit

[@mistyelliott5276]

What color do you distress the edges with? I like it.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@mistyelliott5276 I'm thinking it was Versafine sepia. I'm pretty sure, or stazon timber. I'll double check that.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

Yes, definitely Versafine sepia😊
