I dug out my old dymo label maker and have had a ball using it on my handmade cards and scrapbook pages.  I was surprised when checking out office supplies  to find clear dymo tape along with many colors.  With words and letters such a rage right now this is a great product to rediscover.  I also decided to label some of my containers holding scrapbooking supplies. 

Tags purchased in an office supply area are cheap!  I have found many colors, sizes and shapes.  Even though I have dies to cut my own it is wonderful to have a stash when you are in a hurry.  A tip for cutting your own tags when you are in a hurry and need a special size or color is to cut one corner off and flip it onto the other corner so your cut matches.  Presto: a perfect cut tag! 

I have also found a wide range of color and shapes in paper clips in office supplies making fun embellishments for your pages or cards. 

I always buy reams of cardstock for making cards in an office supply store or area.  This tip alone will save you bundles of money.  Sometimes they have various colors along with white. 

Boxes of envelopes for your handmade cards are great finds also. 

Happy hunting, saving some pennies, and thinking outside the box!  Go create!
