Surprise!

Hi! Back in January I got some fun stamps from Unity to help showcase StoreMoreStamps.com

I really had fun making this acetate card. I stamped the image onto the acetate with brown StazOn and then colored on the reverse side of the acetate with my Copic Markers. If you color over the StazOn with Copics it smudges. I then stamped the image on Basic Grey DP several times and did some paper piecing. The sentiment was stamped with white StazOn with a green Copic on the reverse.

So please let me know what you think, I have been in an absolute stamping funk for so long, I need to get some positive reinforcement:)

Thanks for stamping by!

It's a Party!!!!

Hi! Little Monkeys (StoreMoreStamps.com) is having their first birthday and you get the presents!!! If you haven't checked out the Store More Stamps storage system yet, you are in for a treat. This unique system gives you the room to store you fabulous stamp collection in a fun and efficient way!. Check out the horrific way I kept my stamps before. Mostly contained in these photo storage boxes, but not in any order and certainly not easy to find.



Here are the my swanky Cat's Pajamas stamp sets, I kept them in the original packaging so I could find them:)

Now look at their fabulous new digs. All nice and neat and easy to find, does life get much better than organized stamps, I think not:)

I have been so excited to share this super fun project with you to help celebrate Little Monkeys 1st Birthday. You know the swankiest stamp company on the block had to be involved in the whole deal. Alma from the The Cat's Pajamas, sent the whole DT uber cool birthday stamps to play with and some to give away to you, my dear blog readers.

I made this super fun and very cool gift card holder for the party! The gift holder is made from a kit that you can get at PaperAddiction.com.

Want to make your very own? It's going to cost you....

Take a minute to go leave a little love on both the Little Monkey's blog and The Cat's Pajamas Blog then come back and tell me how many clear stamps you have and would like to store in a more efficient way (I have more than I can tell my DH about:) What's in it for you???

Aren't you glad you stamped by today!

Store More Stamps with Little Monkeys

As promised here is a quick review of the the stamp storage system from Little Monkeys. But first things first. I am pretty sure I have mentioned that I was the winner of the Paper Crafts Stamping Royalty Contest, bawhaha! Guess what arrived yesterday, MY TIARA!! It was all I could do to take it off my head to take the picture:) I had heard that there was a tiara involved in this whole deal, but frankly thought I was being teased (a sort of initiation if you will). But no, it is true that if you win the contest you get a tiara. They like me...they really like me:)

On to really more pressing matters. One of the prizes that I won, besides the tiara, was a starter kit from Little Monkeys, that in all honesty sat untouched until last week when I was re-organizing my stamp space. I grabbed the cute box and got to work putting my unmounted stamps onto the 8 x 8 heavy laminated insert sheets. One side is laminated the other is not. Each insert sheet comes in its own plastic sleeve.

I decided to start with my unmounted rubber stamps. As a reference, I lightly attached (in case I should decide I want them on a different sheet) the pictures of the stamps to the paper side of the insert sheet.

With the starter system you also get a sample of cling sheets to mount your stamps on. Overall, this was my most favorite item in the prize pack.
This is the current home for my Little Monkeys storage system. You can see that I have room for at least 2 more boxes and I think that would almost store and organize all of my current clear stamps and unmounted rubber stamps.
In a nutshell, while I haven't tried a ton of other unmounted stamp storage systems, I am going to go with this one because it fits my mode of operation:) Sharing time for me today is over. I would love to hear if you have tried this system and what your thoughts are.

By the way...Susan, from Little Monkeys is looking for a design team. Get all the details here!

Thanks for stamping by!
