Well, usually it's a goofy picture of ourselves, taken with our cellphone looking into a mirror {grin}! But here at School of Scrap we have a very different definition.
An SOS Selfie Kit is a collection of supplies you assemble yourself, from supplies you already own to use right now. We like to simply that down to "shop your stash".
Christie and I wholeheartedly adhere to the "use what you have" mantra. Oh sure, everyone loves to shop for new scrapbook supplies, and have a fresh stack of papers and embellies to hold and organize. But let's face it, when you come right down to it - supplies are supplies!
Old or new, part of a collection or a la cart, gifted or purchased, it doesn't matter. If you have it, you thought it was usable. And most likely, it still is. So at School of Scrap, one of the things we do each month is to assemble a Selfie Kit. Mixing lines, combing brands, discovering long forgotten papers or reaching for recently purchased treasures.
There are no rules, just suggestions for getting started. There are no limits, just ideas to make it doable. Pare down your entire stash into a workable, usable, non intimidating kit. An SOS Selfie Kit! Then use your kit to get pages made, pictures preserved and memories documented.
Here is Christie's recent SOS Selfie Kit:
!She chose 12 sheets of patterned papers from a variety of collections and manufacturers. Then she added 10 sheets of cardstock from two different companies. And she finished it off with stickers, Thickers, ribbons and twine, doo-dads and embellies and pre-designed titles. It was quite a kit, and a kit that was hers FOR FREE.
Why? Because some of these papers she'd bought months ago. Some of the embellies were older than her son's puppy {okay, pup Daisy is only 3 months old, but the statement is true!}. She shopped her stash, put together an awesome kit full of favorites and treasures.
Then, using exclusive School of Scrap Sketchies, she could focus on getting pages scrapped:
All totaled, Christie scrapped 18 pages in a month, using supplies she already had on hand. That's smart, productive use of time and resources. To see the rest of the pages, scroll to the end of this post.
Your SOS Selfie Kit + SOS Sketchies = SCRAP SUCESS!
