New Stamp Storage



Well, I've been eyeing this for a while for my unmounted stamp storage. I got this photo storage box with interior boxes in it from Costco for $15. It really works well because the stamps don't get smoshed. I'm going to come up with a vinyl decoration to jazz this up.

Here it is open. I need to lable the spines of the smaller boxes with the stamps inside.



I could fit 6 of the single stamps like those from The Greeting Farm. I just put the image samples in with the stamps.


The larger TGF sets like Fuzzy Wuzzy and Sweet and Toxic fit 3 in a box



The only thing I wish is that the inner boxes were about 1/4" bigger so my SWAP Images which are done at 5 1/2"x4 1/4" would fit flat.

So I have a great group of cyber friends on the Cricut.com site. We do this one monthly swap called Happy Mail. I've been doing it since October and it's always so much fun! Each month Lisa, aka Kittyshoes, does a drawing on the box she sends and this month, I GOT IT!!!!!! Isn't it the cutest ever!!!!



On top of this cuter than cute box, Lisa filled it to overflowing with goodies. We put 5 wishes on the board and you are supposed to grant at least 2. Well, Lisa went overboard and granted everything on my list and then some!!! SPOILED ROTTEN ME!!! THANK YOU LISA!!!!


Lots and lots of Glue Dots! A Sew Easy with an extra head for Cross Stitch! Sew Easy Floss in reds, browns, and blues!!! And 3 packs of Bazzil Cardstock!! Drooling here! But wait, there's more!

Stick Pin Swap

I've joined some friends on the PC SWAP Board doing a Stick Pin/Tag Swap. This is my 1st of 3 Tags. I used my Polka Doodles Maggie stamp which is one of my favorites because it looks so much like Delanie! Love the dirty legs and half-way down the nose glasses. I colored them with my Promarkers, inked with TH ink and added my cute little stick pin. I think the pins are nicer in person but I couldn't get the color well in the picture.



I really liked the end result but making 15 of them got really tedious after a bit! Hope the girls on the SWAP love them!
