spring cleaning: stamp storage

it's a disease :)))
once you start
you get all stupid
and can't stop
I am gonna start
my 12 step program
and just relax
tomorrow...well and go to hockey :)

You will notice each binder has a label on the outside, inside each binder has dividers, then each sheet of stamps is on it's own transparency, then it is inserted into a clear folder, then into the binder sleeve so nothing falls out. I do not know if I will make a master index or not, I think I will just use them like this for a while. I am also debating on my collection of Stampin Up stamps. I have 2 empty binders, but I have not decided. I also copied all my digi stamps to one folder on my computer, printed them off, put them in the binder and then backed them up on a disk that I put in the front of the binder...yep I know I have issues :))) All this was inspired by a friend Sam thank you for makin me believe I could do it Sam!!!

bow maker

I have seen online bow makers like bow easy

which is an awesome tool...congrads to those that have it!

(oh & watch the tutorial with it cause it is fab)

but I could not find them to order here in canada

so I was thinkin this morning

(I know crazy)

and I thought I could just use some plastic & make it

so I took an old whiteboard calender from last year

that was on thin white plastic,

measured half & cut up the center

rounded it with my corner rounder

and voila!!!

I made 3 different sizes but you could make it any size

the second last pic I show a bow with 3 loops, 2 loops & just one

anyways I think the bows turned out great

& I saved this plastic from the landfill :)

thanks for lookin

easel cards for Anyone 4 Anya Challenge

I went online to see how to make an easel card
but I wanted to make a 12x12 one

since I majored in math in University I should have been able to figure this out no prob...it took me awhile lol

but here it is

step 1 cut paper 12x6

step 2 cut one 12x6 in half so you have a 6x6

step 3 score the second 12x6 at 6 inches

step 4 score it again at 9 inches then

step 5 fold in half

step 6 then fold it up at 9 inches

step 7 glue 6x6 from step 2 on top of the upturned edge at 9 inches from step 6
step 8 decorate

My card represents cookies & cream...Oreos :) my fav...double stuffed :)
