I promised new photos of my stamp space, so here you go! My cute husband said he wouldn't get me the clip-it-up and then he got it for me! Isn't he sweet? He seems impressed with what it does, too! I have been mentioning quite a bit lately that I need to get things out where I can see them. I do, however, like them to look organized. If it is messy looking, then it gets hidden! LOL! I have included the photo that SU! took of my room in October of 2007 so you can see the addition of the new shelf. It is the same system, just smaller. They are both from Ikea! I like how it blends nicely.
Not only was I able to get my current SU! stamps onto the shelves and out where I can see them, I got four more cubbies for other things. I am also excited because the shelves are not full with stamps, there is more room behind for new ones! The basket under my SU! markers and accessories is full of my TJ Designs stamps and the basket above the markers is full of my hodgepodge hardware and small mat stacks. I tried to move the things over that I reach for more often. The striped basket/tote on the left side has all of my CTMH, The Cat's Pajamas, Sugar Nellie, MFT, etc. stamps. Since it is easy to get to now, I have been using them more than ever before, as you can see from today's card! A little change goes a long way with me. I like how good it feels to be newly re-organized.
My card for today is for my daughter's friend that I babysit after school. Her birthday is coming up and I thought I would get it done so I wouldn't leave it to the last minute! Can I just add that it feels so good to make cards that are actually leaving my house and not getting stored. I also made this for Jen's SFYTT today and for today's Inspiration Challenge over at SCS. I colored the little Sugar Nellie with copic and prismacolor markers. I bought her so long ago and I am not sure she has ever seen ink. I have a couple others that I have used once. I have a feeling she is going to be getting used quite a bit. I know I have a lot going on in this post, so I will end for now! Thanks for fluttering by!
