Designer Series Swatch Fan Kit from Swatch Buddies Retail for kit $14.95 swatchbuddies.com While Swatch Buddies may more often be used in the sewing and quilting scene, paper crafters and scrapbookers can take note of these handy little organizers. The Designer Series Swatch Fan Kit shown here utilizes 3¼" x 2" cards made of sturdy plastic. Also included you’ll find a steel cable ring to bind the cards together as well as double-sided adhesive strips.

Instead of fabric, why not create a swatch ring of your ribbon, washi tape, or cardstock, making your next trip to the store a breeze? You can match colors and make sure you don’t buy something you already have. You could even create an adorable mini scrapbook that would be perfect for Grandma’s purse.

Inspired!

Find Inspiration at the Campground Pack up the kids, the cooler, and the hiking and biking gear! It’s time to take the trusty camper out into the wilderness for another summer to remember.

Spending time in nature can rejuvenate the soul while inspiring the designer as well. Let your glorious summer vacation take your creativity on a journey!

Let’s look at Ashley’s take on the inspiration pillow. Obviously, the trailers on her card mimic those on the pillow, but look closer, and you can see that she’s followed the lead of the denim portion on the bottom of the pillow on her card as well.

Even her placement of the cork flag is a nod to the burlap flower in just about the same position.
