Washi Tape Organizer

Hello and welcome here!  I just had to pop in today to share with you an amazing organization tip/find.  Now, I can't take all the credit, lol, my friend Tracey (hi Tracey!!  If you haven't checked out her blog, rush there now...she's crazy talented and makes amazing projects for Heartfelt Creations!) bought some clear 3 drawer containers from Amazon to store her Washi Tape.  Well, I'm not an Amazon shopper and was excited that she found something...mine were just smushed into a plastic container.   Well, without even trying...isn't that the best when it happens...I was browsing at Home Sense (sort of like Winners) and saw this:

It's a coffee pod organizer.  I love clear containers for my craft area so that I can easily see what's inside.  Now, it only had 2 drawers (Tracey's had 3 drawers) but I was SURE that my Washi Tape would fit.  There were only 2, so I snatched up both.


 Well, I was just tickled pink when I fit them in!!!

 It fits even the larger rolls.

And the bestest part (yes, I just typed bestest, lol), it was only $7.99.  I'm not sure how much the ones Tracey got were, but I'll take $7.99 for an awesome organization idea!!!!


The good news is I fit all my Washi Tape in, the bad good news is I have another whole container to fill!!!! 

Enjoy,
Deneen

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"
I wanted to use my new stamp set and try adding drops to the flower petals.  The stamp set is Peony Bouquet from Altenew and the drop video I watch is by Jennifer Dove.  I coloured the peony with Copic Markers and the center I stamped and fussy cut and added with foam squares.


Inside:


I should have tried the drops on just a plain background first, but hey, I like to live on the edge, lol.  Using a coloured background (the flower petal) it made it a bit difficult shading the shadow for my first time trying it.

Droplets - R83, R85, 0, BV23, BV20
