Breaking My No-Buy Fast, A Few Supplies and a New Tool

Описание: vAfter at least 45-days of not buying any new crafting supplies, I made a little trip to Dollar Tree and bought just a few things, but I also took photos of some other things not in the craft aisle that I thought would be fun to use. I hope that you find this video to be inspiring to think outside the box when looking for items for your journals or other crafting projects.

My "fast" was in response to Kathleen Mower's challenge #stashrestashjjc to create a project in the month of May using only what you already had in your stash. Thrift buying was allowed, but I decided to not buy anything during the month while I worked on my Boho journal. I extended the no-buy limit through most of June as well. Winning Kathleen's junk journal kit was a huge infusion of crafting supplies to my current stash. It was so exciting to receive her very generous package. I'm back on a "craft supply diet," of using what I have. A few "cheats" could happen.

Kathleen Mower's ‪@BeAgainBooks‬ channel I hope you will check out Kathleen's channel. She has many wonderful ideas in addition to using decorative chalk for decorating your journals. Her playlists are a great resource.

Mary Polonco's ideas for decorative duct tape starts at 1.41 in this video: https://youtu.be/qv85_-IXzg?i=HgfIGkv... but the whole video is well-worth watching for some great ideas. ‪@marypolancodesigns‬
