Greetings, the Blog Candy Winner is listed below!  I had so much fun playing with scallops on my last card that I cut these at the same time.  I used Spellbinders™ Big Scalloped Squares SM #7 for both backgrounds.  After doing the card yesterday I realized that three cut rectangles overlapped and glued make the perfect layer for a long wide card that will fit into a business envelope.  I picked one of my favorite JustRite sets Tiny Words and Borders and selected the sentiments "What’s New" and "Cutie Pie".   By the way this set and all of the 1 3/16" sets are on sale for the month of April – you can see them all HERE.  I also selected JustRite 2" Decorative Frames for the square components. 


Here’s how this sets up.  The outside circle is constructed from Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM #6 and Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG #4 together.  The Square is constructed from Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG #2 and #4.  The next inner circle is constructed from EK Success 1 1/4" circle punch and Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG #1.  Then the final inside circle is cut from Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG #1.  To finish up I wrapped ribbon around all the the circles and the outside edges of the card and secured it underneath.  Then last, a couple of pearls :-) 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite Tiny Words and Border 1 3/16", 2" Decorative Frames
Paper:   Neenah Solar Crest White Card Stock, American Crafts Cardstock, DCWV Nana’s Kids
Ink:  Bundled Sage Distress Ink, Color Box Chalk Ink – Yellow Ochre
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM #6, Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG #4 and #1, Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG # 2 and #4, Spellbinders™ Big Scalloped Squares SM #7, EK Success 1 1/4" circle punch, Ribbon, Pearls

Oh yes, I have winner for the blog candy.  Random.org picked number 100 which corresponds with the name, Jennifer Woodward.  Please reach out to me through the contact tab at the top of my blog and shoot me an email with your address.   If don’t hear from anyone, after 48 hours I’ll pick another name.

Thanks so much for stopping in!!  Have a fab day!

Howdy, howdy!  Thanks for all the well wishes.  My knee is feeling better, not quite there but almost.  In the interim I sat in the studio this morning to make a card.  It started out being simple and took on a life of it’s own.  That’s the beauty of creating, right?  For this one I picked an excellent, inspiring sentiment from Quietfire Design called As You Dream.   I thought the sentiment was so pretty it could be used for a bride to congratulate on a pending marriage or even as a congrats afterward.  With different decor it could go to the lucky couple and with yet different decor it could go to the graduate. 

I stayed with two colors white and one sheet of double sided card stock from American Crafts.   My focal medallion begins with Spellbinders™ Labels Thirteen onto which I’ve layered Spellbinders™ Big Scalloped Ovals LG and Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM.  I love the companion pieces that come with all the Spellbinders Pendants and on the upper side of the oval I used one of the companion pieces from Spellbinders™ In  Spades Pendant.  Along the bottom of the card I pieced together several of the companion pieces from Spellbinders™ Renaissance Hearts Pendant to make the border through which I threaded my ribbon.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Quietfire Design – As You Dream
Paper:   Neenah Solar Crest, American Crafts
Ink:  Colorbox Chalk Ink – Pastel Pink
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ In Spades Pendant, Spellbinders™ Renaissance Hearts Pendant, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM, Spellbinders™ Big Scalloped Rectangles SM, Spellbinders™ Big Scalloped Ovals LG, Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven, pearls, ribbon

Don’t forget you can still sign up for blog candy by leaving a comment on THIS post.  You all are the sweetest ever!!  Thanks so much for peeking in.

Hello there.  While I’m nursing my bum knee I thought I’d share some pictures I have in my camera.  I’m usually busy posting cards but I keep a list of Becca Bits that I want to publish and many of them are in progress.   This is one that has been asked about frequently and now I’ve finished it up so I can tick it off my list.

My Spellbinders are one of my most used tools and I have a hefty investment in them so I want to make sure they get their use.  My Spellbinders storage probably looks like your Spellbinders storage, the fat CD cases make for perfect storage!   But, I found that after I color coded mine – I had a solution that really, really worked for me and it has saved me time and frustration.  When I’m in the middle of creating, my desk becomes a mess and I could never seem to put my hands on the dies I needed – now they each have a place.

I group my dies in categories – Standard Shapes, Pendants, Labels, Flowers, Nested Shapes, etc.  All of my circles are all stored together and at the top of the label I left a place for two colors – the first color is the same for all circles – the second color changes depending on if it is a smooth circle or a scalloped circle.  All of my scallop shapes have a lime green label so that I can find them.   If you ever decide to color code yours, tailor the colors to what works best for you.  Below you can see some of the items I used and the pictures are clickable if you want to see a larger version.

I keep my storage within an arms reach of where I sit because I access them frequently.  Here I’ve stacked up CD holders that I purchased at Target.
I also store my Borderabilities and long dies within an arms reach.
Here you can see the color coding a little bit better.
I simply make an excel spreadsheet, drop in the colors and cut the grid out so that it can be applied to the  spine of the CD.   These are ready to apply.

The spreadsheet is printed on an inkjet printer on Full Sheet Avery Labels (8165) before being cut out.  This is what I started out with.
For the longer nested dies I use CD Cases – I covered them in another post HERE.
I simply apply my spine label to the front of the CD Case.

I store my 6″ borders in a magnetic album.
This one was picked up in the scrapbooking section at Hobby Lobby.

I hope this helps those of you who wanted to know :-)  Don’t forget I have current blog candy that you can read about and comment to HERE.

    Your system is amazing! I have a pretty good handle on my Spellbinders at the moment…all one set of them! I was a little unsure of how well they worked but after using my set, I love them!
    As I keep adding to them I will have to take your ideas and put them to work for me.

I do buy most of them on line but there were some I wanted to see in person first . Becca you make us spend more, and I’m so excited that I just ordered the wedding book you have your wedding ideals in my daughter just got engaged last week I can’t wait to get it and start .ReplyCancel

    Aren’t you the

I don’t have a lot of nesties…..yet(:-) but…….. also wanted to let you know that a store I truly love is Trader Joe’s. Whole Foods is way too over whelming and pricey for me. However if you live in an area with a Whole Foods and are looking for a special fish or seafood, check them out. My husband had to revive me after my first and only visit. Whew!ReplyCancel

    I store a lot of things in CD cases, including unmounted stamps, but my
    Nestabilities are in a drawer. Now they are coming out. I had forgotten about color coding. I used that in the 1950s-60s to identify Xray films when I worked at a large hospital. In fact, I set up the system for it. And don’t know why I haven’t thought of that before. thanks for the idea.ReplyCancel

  • Val WApril 7, 2010 - 8:14 pm

    Wowsa! That’s quite a collection! I can see how the CD cases would be the most efficient for you. The color-coding really looks like it’s a good idea for you to keep track of what you have, and where. My collection of Spellbinders is small by comparison but growing, thanks in part to all the wonderful die cut inspiration I see on your blog. So far, my zippered CD album is working well for me. Each set of dies is mounted on a magnetic sheet, and slipped into one of the CD pockets. Thanks for sharing your Becca Bits with us.ReplyCancel

  • MarshaApril 7, 2010 - 8:41 pm

    This is weird because I had just been looking/searching for some of my dies, I knew I had them but couldn’t find the set I needed…..and then they are all jumbled up in a drawer……by themselves, but still loose in a drawer. This is perfect……thanks so much.
    BTW, I love your blog and your work is such an inspiration.ReplyCancel

  • Maxine NaumannApril 7, 2010 - 8:47 pm

    With regard to storing copics, I bought some clear Iris plastic containers at Michaels. They are apparently made for photographs but each box holds 16 copics perfectly. I made a list of the color with a sample of the color that goes in each box with the copics. What is great is the containers are completely clear to easily identify the colors and the containers lock securely. These containers have come in handy for storing several other things also. At my age, if I can’t see something, I forget I have it.ReplyCancel

    I thought since I filled my little plastic storage bucket with CD cases full of Spellbinders dies, that I had to quit buying them….NAAAHHHH. I was so excited that while on a recent weekend trip, the scrapbook store in that area had the crosses, the curvy rectangles and the new oval dies (#10?). Anyway, I loved getting them and not paying shipping AND supporting an LSS…(they have been dropping like flies in this economy.)

    NOW. To locate a retail store carrying those big CD cases….hmmmm…

    love ya Becca.ReplyCancel

    Wow I am so jealous of your collection! I too have mine stored in CD cases and the colour coding is such a really good idea. I think I will have to pinch that idea too! I live in the UK and so far it is really slow getting hold of the new ones but they are slowly filtering through. I hope your knee gets better soon. I know that feeling well. I have needed a new knee cap since I was 19 and was told to wait until I was 45. At 45 they discovered I needed a total knee replacement and last month I got the news that I had been waiting for – the operation is to go ahead in the next 12/18 weeks and I am so thrilled at the thought of being pain free for the first time in over 30 years! So take it easy and keep the samples coming even if you do give me headaches trying to find some of the things you use over here!ReplyCancel

    Love your color coded storage idea. Is is possible that we could see your whole craft area? You have so many great ideas, I’m sure I am not the only one who would love to see your entire work area.

    I am SO glad you shared this with all of us…. the color coding solution is going to be a life saver. And to see how you put or the Borderabilities together is a nice idea too.
    I have one question??
    How do you store the Grand 12″ Borderabilities?? Do you have a easy solution for that, (I hope so) I have a few but there so hard to store I’m afraid I may not get anymore because they may get damaged.
    Thanks again of ALL you posts!!ReplyCancel

    I just went thru all your organization ideas and thought they are great. Reminds me of the way I organized alot of my teaching things at school before I retired. I am in the middle of redoing my stamping/scraping/quilting room to make it more user friendly. I have some things from IKEA (kitchen organization items) and now just getting it all where I can find it. Your ideas are most helpful and will be included here. I, too, would like to know how your store your copic markers and do you use others like the tombows?ReplyCancel

    Your blog got me to thinking. Thinking of the magnetic strips (I already have) and I could use with my CD cases (already using). Gosh they lay sooo much nicer. You are sooo much more than a creative genius! Thanks!ReplyCancel

    Great storage. I have been looking for dvd boxes like these (with removable centres) for ages with this idea in mind and could never find them. I have now discovered Stampinup do boxes like this blank for about the same price and no centres to remove, lol.

    Hi has anyone used the little cd boxes with the hanging files for cds. I am unable to leave my home to shop much so I sent my husband looking for a spellbinder storage solution and he brought back a file box that is only 5in. x 5in. each holds 80 cd’s so far I have two boxes. I also can color code because the little hanging files are in four colors. I use one color for nestabilities one for shapeabilities etc. and each has a wonderful file lable at the top so it is easy for me to find as long as I keep it in the file box it came from with the color it came from I don’t even need to put it back in the exact right spot every time. I love them. they take up so little room and they hold so much each box gets heavy with eighty sets of spellbinders so have only put 40 to sixty sets in each box. I also use the thin magnet paper to keep them in place. My five year old granddaughter can access the ones she wants easily and can see them without having to open anything . I love these. joannaReplyCancel
