Do you like to SAVE bits and pieces of fabric, trim and pretty paper? Then you must be a lot like me and this little craft fairy. You just never know when you might need a little piece of this or that. After all, it only took a bit of leftover decorative paper to give this collage a little something extra...every little bit helps. So that's why I SAVE.
(Miss Craft Fairy is available in my CafePress shop as a magnet.)

I know just what you mean. That's why there are so many piles of paper all over my house. And as soon as I get rid of something, I think of a use for it. Pretty illustration.

This is my new favorite piece of yours!

Terrific collage!
Yes, I can be a little magpiie-like too!
Fun illustration Nancy. I really like that color you've put in the background.
I love the scrap fairy! So fun and cute!
While I don't save scraps and pieces, I do save digital files that can be used over and over again. I guess I can't stand having physical stockpiles of anything. It all must be digital. But, I admire people who have do have everything at their fingertips! She is a cute collage fairy!
We will soon have to move out...yes we are savers too.
I love this collage and all the pink and the touches of fabric here and there and those gilded wings and signature stockings.
Hi, I like your collage ! - we had the same response to "save"....It's genetic, in my opinion.
this is the story of my life, i save EVERYTHING! I have to keep buying more things to keep all my "saves" in!!
clever as always!
a : )
that's so me... i drive my husband crazy with my collected odds and ends that i know i'm going to use for something!
really nicely done!
Yes, I save lots of bits and pieces, but I never put it together as wonderfully as you do! Great Job!

Way to go! The craft fairy makes the world go round! Great job Nancy... but it's hard to avert my gaze from those hot babes you posted above!
Beautiful!
Yes... I save all minds of little things just in case i can use them in a painting. This is lovely - the sepia tones with the touches of pink make this warm and pretty... reminds me of dired roses.
i do too! very lovely collage!
I would love to see your studio and how you store all your bits and pieces. As usual I love this piece. Your work is always so warm and inviting. I especially love the rose in the foreground. Beautiful work!
me too!!
i absolutely adore the vintage vixens:)
so charming..
I used to save every single thing... just in case. But since I don't collage, I really had no excuse and finally gave it all away. I am with Kim though, I save digital scraps like crazy. Once a pack-rat always a pack rat.
You, on the other hand, have every reason to save. You create the most sublime beauties with your found treasures. I salute you!
I think I know her! My husband has a hard time parting with newspapers and I can't stand how they pile up. But ask me to part with my piles of scraps and doo-dads? Not on your life!
Very sweet collage :)
i save my scraps all the time- you just never know when you'll need them!
cute collage!!
