Updated Nestie/Cuttlebug Storage Photos

Alicia, a regular reader asked if I was still storing my Nesties on my cupboard doors and so I decided to take pictures. In my stamp room we had a closet. When our sons moved out into their own home I had room downstairs to store off-season clothing, giving me this closet for stamping things. The second photo is my Cuttlebug folders stored in Martha Stewart recipe holders. The first photo shows a cork bulletin board where I stapled magnetic sheets (magnetic vent covers from Bed, Bath, and Beyond--sturdy and very strong magnet). As you can see I will need to add another board at some point. It is really nice because I can leave a big mess in that area and just close the doors on it, making my stamp room look clean.

Have You Seen the Frames Companies are Releasing Soon?

I saw this concept, probably at Papertrey, several months ago, so I made myself a set of templates to make frames. I cut out squares and rectangles using thin chipboard and my paper cutter. I made an entire set and they are easy to just trace around.

The basket was made with the SU Lattice folder and then brayered with brown ink.

This card uses My Favorite Things stamps and Michael's ribbon.

PLEASE READ THIS

A favor to ask of my readers--- I am really begging here. This private school needs a sewer system so badly. PLEASE click on the title of this post (if you have Facebook) and give this school 5 votes. This little school struggles so financially, but they have been around for years educating kids not only academically but with focus on character. I would appreciate it so much.
