Bree’s Last Post for Simply Renee.

First off, I have to say what an amazing company to design for.Bobbi and Renee are amazing girls, and have been a pure joy to work with. 

I’ll never forget when Renee herself called me to tell me I was on the team!  I was at work and I literally jumped off the phone with her, and ran around my office.  My staff thought I was crazy, but you guys know what I’m talking about... And I’m sure the new team will be running around their offices, kitchens, and homes when they get the good news.

I have reapplied because I love being here and I love sharing Organizing tips with you guys, and I just don’t feel like I’ve done enough yet.

My last tip is to visit the Clip It Up blog as much as possible.

It is full of lots and lots of great tips on organizing, and full of great (and even crazy) things you can organize using your Clip It Up!

I have started altering my Clip It Ups! ( all 4 of them) So they are plain white and crying to be made pretty. So since my girls, I mean, my Clip It Ups! are mid-alterations, I thought I would share a item in my space.

This is my new card-spinny thing. If it has a name, I’m not sure what it is...but it sure does take up alot of space.

I have started selling my paper crafts at Farmer Markets, and with so many cards I have run out of room to show them off.

I use ALL of my Clip It Ups to display my favorite cards and tags on . But I ran out of table room....So I purchased this.

It ain’t no Clip It Up! Girls. There just aren’t any substitutions to them.

This gigantic piece doesn't even hold a fraction of cards my Clip It Up can.

Can you see them spilling over the edges?

And check out the size difference!

There just isn’t a comparison.

I maybe biased, but if you are thinking about how to display your items for a sale, Organize your stickers and sewing supplies- There is only one solution if you ask me. Buy a Clip It Up! or two or four.

Good luck girls on trying out for the team. I hope you will have as much fun as I have had!

Thank you Renee, for this amazing opportunity and a fabulous 6 month organizing frenzy

Now go get your craft on!

Carol’s Scrap-A-Thon

Hi Everyone!

It's Carol, and I wanted to tell you a little bit about the generosity of Clip It Up by Simply Renee! 

On Saturday, November 13, 2010, I held a Scrap-A-Thon fundraiser to benefit our school district.  After a referendum failed to pass in our school district, all extra-curricular activities had been cut for our three schools.  Parents got together to raise funds in order to bring the the extra-curriculars activities back for one year until a new referendum could be placed on the ballot and successfully pass.  I decided to do my part and hold a Scrap-A-Thon fundraiser!  I solicited many donations, and I was blown away by the generosity of so many companies, including Simply Renee!  The wonderful Clip It Up ladies donated a 36" Ribbon Organizer for our raffles!  Let me tell you, the Scrap-A-Thon attendees went crazy buying tickets for that particular raffle!  Everyone wanted that Ribbon Organizer, and who could blame them!?!  When my youngest daughter and I pulled the name for that raffle, you could have heard a pin drop in the room!  I was very happy to read Holly's name!  She was so excited to win such an amazing prize!  Congratulations Holly!  Hopefully we'll get to see your Ribbon Organizer mounted and all set up in your crafty space!

Thank you again to Simply Renee for their generosity!  I am so grateful!  I am also happy to report that the Scrap-A-Thon event raised $1,100 for our school district's Special Donation Fund!!  ♥

Tina’s Final Post

Hello everyone! Happy New Year to you! I hope that you had a fabulous Christmas and that your 2011 is starting out wonderfully! It sure is flying by already!!

Today I have a couple of things to share with you. First of all, this is my last post to share with you during this Design Team term! I can not believe 6 months has passed this quickly!! I have LOVED designing for Simply Renee! They are beautiful people to work with, and the Clip-It-Up products are a dream!! I hope you sent in your DT application! You won't be sorry!!

So with this being my last post, I would like to share with you my Clip-It-Up main base and upper tier. My very first Video... so bare with me! :)

Now... for those of you who think you don't have room for one,... think again! You don't have room NOT to have one! :)

********************************************

I will leave you with a layout I created using some of the many embelishments found on my clip it up! I completely forgot I had these goodies until I brought them out to organize!!

This page was created using one photo from each month of the year 2010. It's a brief recap... but it has inspired me to create a mini book recapping more highlights as well! What do you do to recap your year?

Thanks for dropping by! And thank you to Simply Renee for the opportunity to share some tips, organization and projects with you these last few months!

Happy Scrapping!!!

Tina

Hi Everyone!  Happy New Year!  Can you believe it's 2011? 

This is Carol, and this is my last official Clip It Up post for this design team term.  I want to thank Renee for having me on her organization design team.  I had a blast showing you ways to use Clip It Up products to get organized!

I'm showing you my crafting area today!  I hope you enjoy viewing my product-packed area!  I have a lot of stuff!  You would think that I would stop buying!  I really should!!  I am so excited to have my Clip It Up Jumbo with the Upper Tier Add On on my desk!  It holds so much, and it's all so organized!!

Before I go, I want to give some shout outs to some of my favorite places to hang out:

Scrap-Friendzy:

This site is run by Amy and Cheryl.  I'm on the Design Team at this site, and we are currently holding a Sketh-A-Thon!  No online store . . . just fun, challenges, inspiration, and lots of chatting with our girlfriendz!

Inspired to Scrap:

This site is run by Stacey.  There is a new kit is in the store, and January challenges are posted!  I'm going to be a Guest Designer here in March and April!

Memorable Seasons:

This is my favorite place to shop!  Jill is awesome, and her sales are AMAZING!  Julie has just joined her in helping with the online store, and in January, they will have their first monthly kit!  There is also a message board.  I highly recommend this online store!  ♥  You'll also want to get in on the monthly kit action!  :)

Coordinates Collections:

This site is run by Jamie.  She has great kits.  There are two kit choices every month.  There are challenges posted on the blog and message board too.

I also want to leave you with another sketch and my layout that I created using my sketch!  This is my 2nd sketch I've created!  What do you think?  This sketch won't be posted at Scrap-Friendzy for the Sketch-A-Thon until January 14th, so you're getting it early!  Don't tell anyone!  :)

I hope you enjoy the video!  Thanks!

Carol
