Looking for a reason to buy some (more) Japanese masking tape? Yeah, me too. I covered these tiny binder clips with some of the tape and they are pretty adorable. Almost makes me want to get organized. Almost. Maybe these would help, too:
These clothes pins made by Whitney of Whisker Graphics remind me of ones by SusyJack. Whitney also used the tape to label her files.
The very clever Merilee of Mer Mag made these great invites:
And while we’re on the subject of garlands:
These decorations from Project Wedding (they have great party ideas even if you’re not getting married) use the tape for the little flags and place settings. I love that color combination.
And last but not least:
Holly of Decor8 had the idea to make a simple border on a picture frame. It really suits that photo, doesn’t it?
So if you were looking for ideas to justify purchasing some beautiful masking tape, there you go. I bought mine through Origamisan who had good prices and was willing to make custom combinations.
In other, bittersweet news: my laptop has bit the dust. It has served me well (*moment of silence*). But I have found comfort in my brand new MacBook! It’s so beautiful… and fast. It will be much easier for me to post now. I do sort of feel like I have deserted Wall-E for Eva, though. That may be a dorky reference, but I seriously loved that movie.

Britt McMaster is addicted to cucumbers. She and her husband, Ryan, live and work in a tiny apartment in downtown Vancouver, BC. Both Ryan and Britt love to write lists of all their ideas on action sheets, and they have pages and pages. They write especially quickly after they've each had a dry cappuccino or two. Most of those fanciful ideas will stay on paper, but Cucumbersome is Britt's platform to try some out.

- @pompomkaren LOL! I think I might have just what you're looking for! http://ow.ly/N8m7
Japanese masking tape just might be the solution to my framing woes. Thanks.
p.s. The Wall-E/Eva reference was perfect! My MacBook just turned 3 which, based on her agility, I’m guessing is about 75 in people years.
Hello! I’ve never seen Japanese masking tape until today- thanks for sharing, the possibilities are endless!
P.S. Enojy the new Macbook- I can’t live without mine!
I tried to resist a long time… But You’ve conviced me, I am getting some of these tapes, oh yes.
those little clips are so cuteness! thanks for the great ideas… I have been collecting colours but always looking for ways to use them!
