How Do I Store My Stamps?

-
Hello every one.  I have a special project to share with you today.  I have been having difficulty keeping track of my stamps.  Does anyone else have that problem?  This is actually the first in a 2-part series on stamp organization.  After watching several YouTube videos and asking advice from the 3 Girl JAM design team, this is the system I finally came up with to work for me.  I am really pleased with the way that it turned out.  I had a plan that I could work with when I was directed this idea by Sarah Hamer Designs.  I took my original plan and added the card stock dividers similar to her tutorial to create my system.  I ended up going from this mess...


To this...

I picked up the smaller basket from a thrift store for $1 I think and had to order 1 package of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" dividers.  I had everything else on hand.  I'd say that is a pretty good start, wouldn't you?  Please watch the video to see exactly how made the dividers and why I chose to use page protectors.


Thanks for stopping by today.  Be sure to check back on Thursday for part 2 of this project.  Have a great day and remember to...

Take time to enjoy the little things.

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.  Have a
