Thanks so much for these great finds/ideas! Here is a tip for you: use a plastic bread bag clip/tab at the end of a roll of tape instead of folding a piece down - it’s easily removed/replaced and saves tape as you are not wasting the folded over part every time you use some tape from the roll.

I love when you do this style video of showing us different ways to save money and use alternative items for our crafting

You can also use that tote to hold water to watercolor painting.

I use those sticky mats

I appreciate that you tested and showed how the items worked from the Dollar tree. Others just say what a great buy items are. Thanks! 😃

I so love everything about your channel! Your bubbly personality shines thru, you're frugal like I am, and they just make me happy! Thank you.

The poster boards that you love & can't part with, frame them & put up in your craft as decoration so you can look at them whenever!

I use the little 3 compartment tote for watercolor water. one small hole for clean water, big one for dirty water and 3rd small one to hold brushes while working.

You are such a blessing Mary! You do these videos to help all of us save money by purchasing and trying them out and letting us know whether it's a yay or nay! You're the best! I'm fairly new to your channel and crafting, so you help me immensely and teach me so much. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 😁🐒🦋🐧🦉😂

Mary these are my favorite kind of videos from you. Always learning something new. Thanks for considering costs for us❤

I use Elmer Glue Sticks for gluing beautiful napkins onto a cardstock panel. (Trim off edges.) I press the napkin down in the center of the panel and work outward to remove any wrinkles..Then go over with a bone folder. To make sure it holds, place panel inside an embossing folder and run through your machine. This makes a beautiful and secure panel to add to your card front.
I loved the idea of using packing tape on your acetate for stamps!

Thanks for the tips I liked the tags at the end

@roneldunn2944 7 months ago

Mary, I am so happy to have found your channel. Goodness! You have a brilliant mind for adjusting stuff for a different job!
Oh my word! I have a lot of photo paper!
The tags are stunning, thank you again, Mary!

I no longer have alcohol inks but am loving what you have done. You do save me money each time. Thanks a bunch.

Was happy to see you demo different products. Sometimes $s are short so this is a great way to try many different styles and different products without breaking the bank. I've been making cards for over 30 + years. I'm always looking for new ideas and examples. Thank you and keep it up. I'm going to door tree tomorrow.
