Stamp Storage Idea

So you all know I'm doing the crop at Chatty Scrappers right? Well I was working on one challenge, made a mistake and decided to use it for another challenge. The mistake actually turned out quite well for a storage container and I just might make a few more!

I used the Mini Magazine Tutorial from the Inking Idaho blog . . thanks Becky Roberts! However, somehow I messed up the dimensions and mine turned out taller and smaller in depth. BUT the great thing is, the size fits the Studio G stamps perfectly!!



So head on over to the Inking Idaho blog to make your own little mini versions of the magazine holders. They are fun. Here are my new stamp holders so you can see those too.




Thanks for looking! Don't forget to come to the New Year Crop. We are having lots of fun!!

I was so excited the other day because I got a little package from a stamp company that I just discovered! Have you ever heard of UNITY STAMP COMPANY???? Oh you should definitely check them out.

I found them when I was blog hopping one day and just happened to stumble upon a HOP they were having at Splitcoast. So I head on over and start participating and before I know it, I find out that I am getting a few free stamps in the mail! Isn't that the coolest????

So a few days ago, I get this package in the mail and I rip it open to find 2 of the cutest heart stamps! Good thing hubby is a peach and doesn't mind me slavin' away down in the studio cause I bee-lined it down there to work with this adorable stamp!

I used a fabulous tutorial on the Fresh & Fun blog by Beate Johns. You also need to check that blog out. It is filled with wonderful tuts!

So without further ado . . check out that cool stamp!! Enjoy!!

There is a New Year Crop going on at Chatty Scrappers. If you haven't been there yet, you should. It's a fun place and some great people on the boards . . not to mention the fun challenges!

Here is one I did using a sketch by Becky Fleck of PageMaps. The challenge was to use one of the Basic Grey series. So I chose this one:

and here is my version of the sketch:

with some more deets . .



and a bit more . . . The journaling reads:

Beauty . . of a smile is contagious
whenever i see that twinkle
in your big brown eyes
i know my heart fills with joy.
Never forget the power in
the BEAUTY of your smile
