Erica here today on the blog. Since I'm from sunny Southern California, we've been in Spring mode for.....well, we never really had Winter. Unlike a lot of you, I *love* winter and I kind of miss it.
I took these photos of my son in the Sping of 2009.
These were some awesome monster rain boots Target had one year. Even though we had no rain, he loved to wear them. I also refer to him lovingly as 'my little monster'. This was also the perfect layout to use up some of my older flair on.
Here is another layout where I dug through my flair stash to find just the perfect one.
And one last layout. I had a couple of dog themed buttons from one of our Blog Hops from last year.
With all of the new flair being released, I thought it was time to give some of my older flair some love. I typically select a set because of the images or phrases. Sometimes I do not have an immediate use for them so they get stored in my flair stash. I just moved so my craft space has been completely redone. I keep a container on my workspace where I can easily reach for them. My favorite activity is to dump out the designs and sort through them.
Its a 9 drawer plastic bin. Each drawer holds a 'theme'.
I tried to keep the themes generic so I would always have a way to sort.
When I get my flair, I typically sort them into what kits they match. When I buy paper or get kits in the mail, I try to find pictures to go with them. The flair goes in there as well. Once I make the layout or project, the unused flair gets sorted here. I save them for later projects. Its fun to dump out a drawer to find that perfect 1-2 pieces for a layout.
Run to the store and grab some flair for your next project!
