Is it just me or does anyone else find this a sad affair, lol? I was making a card for my dad today and I still haven't scraped this off. I had used the negative cut for his card but just can't seem to waste this. Do any of you save letters like this or is it kind of like the old Seinfeld saying..."You should just do it like a Band-Aid... one motion, right off!" LOL.   |

I am always saving the negatives if I use the positive or vies versa. Or crying when I throw it away!
Letters and numbers I keep in a little bowl on my scrap counter. Don't know what I would do to keep a whole phrase.

Try running some repositionable Scotch tape over the top of the letters, or blue painters tape. Run a line of tape over each line of letters, then add some tape up and down, making a grid. That should keep the letters all aligned so that all you need to do is put glue on them and then adhere to your next project.

I keep some things, depending on whether I think I'll use them.

I keep some things, depending on whether I think I'll use them. This is how I do it too. I don't fret over it though. I can always cut more. I tend to keep only things that are welded as I would lose individual letters so fast I'd get whiplash. |

It does feel a little sad to trash them...but I do, knowing that it's really easy to cut another if I need it.

I often want to but usually I just end up throwing them away. When I have saved them something gets lost  |

I would probably make another card.... I am always making cards to donate or selling cards to raise money for a cause.

I decided to keep the word 'believe' and 'my father'. I can easily reuse those on a LO. Thanks ladies!

Nope. If I saved everything I could potentially use later, you'd be seeing me on the next episode of Hoarders! I'll only save something like that if I know I'll be using it immediately on something else.
