10 Signs You Are a Craft Hoarder

November 27, 2014 by Francine Clouden

10_Signs_You_Are_a_Craft_Hoarder_-_Fave Crafts

As the biggest shopping day in the US approaches, you might want to consider whether you’re a craft hoarder or not. Should you really go out and buy even more craft supplies, just because they are on sale?

Hmm, well these 10 photos over at Fave Crafts will help you decide if you’re a craft hoarder or if maybe, just maybe you really do need all those extra patterned papers and embellishments 🙂 (Of course we do right?)

Hoarding is the compulsive purchasing, acquiring, searching, and saving of items that have little or no value or you don’t intend to use. I don’t know about you but when I buy my craft supplies I do actually have every intent on using those craft supplies.

But,  If your buying/hoarding is causing emotional, physical, social, financial distress, then guess what guys, it is time to CUT back on all those craft supplies. I know, I shouldn’t be saying it but hey, Crafting is about fun, relaxation and creativity it should never be sad or heartbreaking. Do you have a problem?

    your craft room looks like mine. crafters have more on their mind than cleaning. When I clean my craft room I can never find anything so then I have to go searching and it looks just like it did before.

    Hi Francine,

    This is Julia from FaveCrafts – thanks so much for sharing our list! We had so much fun putting this page together and hope your readers enjoy it! We’ve learned that so many people are “closet” craft hoarders – we should all be proud of our overflowing stash! Thanks again and have a great day!

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

Andrea used the Fun Times collection from Simple Stories to create this fabulous mini Travel Tag album. She even found a cute tiny plastic suitcase to fit it inside of, decorating the outside with a few chipboard elements and a scalloped border.

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

The album itself has different siezd and shaped pages, some rectangle, some tag shaped, some with scalloped edges but all stitched around the edges. It’s held together at the top with a metal “O” ring.

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

The pages have 3″ x 2 1/2″ photos that are accented with metal buttons, vintage cameras, floral and map papers, chipboard embellishments, tabs, labels and travel related designs in fun retro color combinations.

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

She’s even included some fun interactive pages too for a really cool tiny but mighty album design.

Learn more and check out the entire project over at the Simple Stories blog.
