    How much embellishments are enough???

    I made a card today for my dgs and I wanted to embellish it with a couple of seashells. When-ever I go to Michaels etc I always look at K&Co stuff. You know those borders they sell--5 or 6 strips in a long narrow package---like butterflies or flowers etc? Well whenever they are marked down I usually buy a couple. By now I have quite a load. Think I had one seashell or starfish or crab that would go on a beach? OF COURSE NOT!!!!! If you could see what I already have you'd say that's not possible. I could sell to these stores!!! I give up!!! Does this happen to you???

    You are so right Cindi I could start my own store with what is in my craft room. I have also found myself downloading digi scrap booking embellishments too.
    Why? Well with the vast increases of postal charges especially for anything like 3D I have started to embellish with "faux" flowers etc. What are we like? Still we are helping the economy.......right?

    It all sounds very familar. Of course even if I do have it I have to search and search through so much stuff.
    Once again, I need to take a few days and get organized again. Happens so often when I make a lot of cards.

    All stampers should be entitled to lower postage, then we could use up our embellishments!!!- Nancy
