Fibers
 

Does anyone have a list of ideas for use for fibers? Or ideas? I have a ton of fibers and want to use some on a scrapbook page and I am drawing a blank!

Dawn,

I don't know of any list but I'll keep looking out for you! Post to all of us if you find one! I also have alot of fibers and would like to know what I can do with them. I use them now like ribbon on cards or to tie a tag but nothing else.

When you find a list, I'd sure like to sneak a peek at it.

Here is a link to a wonderful fiber website. There is a free online monthly newsletter you can subscribe to, and you can also go through all past projects in the Archives section.
http://www.fibersfromafar.com
It covers both scrapbooking and card ideas for using fibers.
Happy browsing!

Oops ... the Archives section is called the "Idea Gallery", not Archives. Sorry. There is also a new newsletter due out within the next few days with lots of new projects etc., so be sure to check back soon.
Thanks.
