My daughter, the arts/graphic design student, just recently gave me a stack of paper she had colored with acrylic paint. Vibrant and colorful and just jummy I kept thinking about what to do with them and then after a couple of days, Voila! It occurred to me to just do some cutting.
Space is limited in my studio/office. I have good storage on the walls but not much working surface so I have to make the best of it. One of the things I do often is go through a cutting marathon. I take out my
Brother Scan-n-Cut, my
Fiskars Fuse, scraps of paper and assorted dies and I start cutting all kinds of shapes out of the scraps of papers I've accumulated from various projects or as in this particular case I used all the papers my daughter gave me.
I try to think about what I use often, such as dresses, circles, hearts, bookmarks, ATC, and greeting cards, and cut out all types of shapes and stored them in my photo containers. This way I always have a nice stash of usable shapes and more room to accumulate more scraps for the next cutting marathon.
Here are some of the pictures I took of my cutting marathon! Have a great day and when you have some time off do something fun!
