Junk Journal Ephemera Timesavers

One of the valuable things I have learned while participating in the #100DayChallenge…

Prepare ephemera elements ahead of time, so you can grab them and assemble them, whenever you have a few minutes.

In the box to the left, I have many 3 x 5 cards printed and prepped. I have rounded the two corners on each and sometimes, have even distressed the edges. (I tend to distress edges on Mondays when my best friend and I talk on Skype for an hour. 😉

In the plastic boxes I have many, many pre-cut whale tail tabs in many, many colors. This means I can sort out a few 3×5 cards and appropriate whale tail tabs and get started almost instantly.

I can distress the tabs, stamp them or decorate them, and then apply to the 3×5 cards.

And, WALLA! All I need to do is finish decorating the cards.
