Jules crafty snippets

Hello there.
Before you begin reading any further I must warn you that this is a picture heavy post. Get a cuppa and make yourself comfortable.

I mentioned last week that I was going to take photos of my snippets to shame me into using more of them. Well, I have....are you ready for this?...

This is my pile of paper snippets. It`s actually not as bad as it looks (honest) and quite a lot of them are digi papers. I`ve had to put them on the spare bed because there are too many to fit on the desk properly.

And this pile is my card snippets. Now this is really worse than it looks on here. You can`t see properly how deep the pile is. I am quite ashamed of this little lot. I was going to put them on our bed because it`s much larger but there is glitter card in among that lot and I didn`t think Alan would be very pleased to wake up next morning covered in glitter lol.
But....

Look at it now.
Being the cheapskate that I am I only bought 4 plastic boxes (£1 each from Poundland) and utilised some old biscuit tins for the rest. I will get more plastic boxes eventually. All the card has been sorted into colour and boxed up making it really easy to find and also keeping it from getting damaged. I used to keep it all in a large underbed storage box and then had to rake through it. The Papermill box has got gold, silver and sparkley card in and I`ve another one that all my paper snippets fit nicely into. So much better than before and now that I can get at easier I`m using it alot more already.
My white card is still in the large box for now and in all fairness to myself, most of it is the bits you get when you make a square card from an A4 sheet so that will get used for smaller images and sentiments.
I will take another photograph at Christmas time to see how the pile has diminshed.

Right after all that I`d better show you a card.

Both the DP`s are from Kameo Crafts but different sets.
The image is my old favourite Agapanthus Cluster from Stampendous, stamped in Versacolour Evergreen.
The sentiment is by Personal Impressions.
I`ve added 2 butterflies because I got ink on one bit and a faded bit on another. This was my 4th attempt at stamping this and I`d had enough lol.


Edited to add;  I`ve just seen Jules snippet stash. I don`t feel half so bad now ha ha !
