In this section of my website I will be adding tips and techniques that you can use as a reference whenever you are stuck for ideas or your creative mojo has gone walkabout!  If you have any techniques or storage ideas you would like to share then drop me an email and I will add them to the page, mention your name and link away to your blog or website.

Storage	I use clear, divided plastic containers purchased from Bunnings to store my embellishments in.  They stack on top of each other and I label the front for easy access.	Sharon Manning
Storage	I store my ribbons in zip lock plastic bags in different colour groups and the bags are hung on a big snap lock metal ring which makes it easy to access whichever bag i want and the ring can then be hung anywhere for convenient storage.	Ann McLachlan
Storage	I had problems storing my clear and rubber unmounted stamps so I got all my empty CD cases and took out the covers and now store my clear unmounted and rubber unmounted stamps in these CD cases in groups of similarity i.e. journalling stamps in one, flourishes in another etc.	Karen Smith
Tools	When using the Fiskars Drill or any drill for that matter, make sure you have something to drill into under the item you are drilling or you could perhaps be drilling your nice table or desk instead.........	Robyn W
Product	Try using felt in your Manual Die Cut  Machines, I have the Quickutz Revolution and cut all sorts of shapes using felt.  I don't recommend it for any of the computer die cut machines!	Sharon Manning
Tip	When painting chip board use an old plastic mat and a row of double sided tape to tape your chipboard down on the edge to enable you to paint the edges and little corners without getting paint all over your fingers/self!	Jen Burns
Tip	You can use as thinly cut piece of paper to thread buttons instead of cotton (use a piece from your lay-out to match)	Jen Burns
Tip	Dress up “Boy” pages using washers with brads, or little hex screws, black “o” rings from the plumbing section also look good.	Jen Burns
Technique	Use a sandwich bag with the corner tip snipped off a little bit to “pipe” texture paste into shapes or words. Pipe onto grease proof paper then wait till dry then paint.	Jen Burns
