Happy Mother’s Day!
I just wanted to wish all the mothers out there a very Happy Mother’s Day! I know I’m a day early, but I’m flying out overseas to Hong Kong tomorrow. I’m happy to be spending Mother’s Day with my mom this year on a family trip!
I have several special people that I send cards to on Mother’s Day and I made these:
I used the Raspberry Tart Stampin’ Up DS Paper for this card and a Mother’s Day stamp I got from the Michaels $1 bin. I embossed the Mother’s Day sentiment with black EP and colored in the flowers with Copic Markers. I also used one of my Cuttlebug Embossing folders on the white strip, although it’s hard to see in the picture. And, I guess my vision was blurry when I took this picture because I didn’t realize that only one of cards was in focus until I saw a larger version of it on my computer screen!
Happy Mother’s Day wishes and see you when I get back!
Another Weekend…
Well, another weekend has come and gone. It was both productive and relaxing for me, so I’m happy about that. I read a lot of New Moon
And here are some layouts I wanted to share. These aren’t the layouts that I made this weekend, but I haven’t gotten the chance to share these on my blog yet, so here goes:
Here’s to a great start of a new week!
Punch Storage
I’m so excited about my new punch storage! I bought the Bygel Racks at Ikea and DH installed them for me. The best thing about these racks is that they are super cheap at $1.99 each! I got the 21 3/4″ ones, but they also have a 39 1/4″ one for $2.99 each. I considered the 39″ one, but I wasn’t sure how sturdy it was going to be since the punches have some weight to them and collectively, I wasn’t sure how good the rack would hold up.
I used to store my punches in the plastic drawer below, but I love having them out for me to see and grab when I need to use!
Getting Organized For ‘08
Happy New Year! I took a blogging break longer than expected, but I’m back now! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and new year. My holiday was super busy for me. To start off my new year, I decided to reorganize my stamp room! You can click below to see my pics:
If you compare these new pics to my previous pics of my stamp room, it doesn’t really look that different. However, there are 2 things from the pics you should notice that I’ve added which are really functional and make my life so much easier. I purchased a 12 x 12″ Snapware set at Costco and am now using to store a bunch of stuff. I love it because I can put all of my things I need for crafting in there and pull it all out when I need it and store it all away and save counter space when I don’t.
The other thing I’ve added is storage for all my patterned paper. I hadn’t realized how much I’ve accumulated this past year and I have quite a bit! PP is my obsession though and I’m such a hoarder when it comes to it! I decided to use a regular crate that you can purchase at any office supply store. I love this method of storage because I now have all of my patterned papers all in one spot and it’s easily accessible when I need it. I put a flat cello bag in front of each design for my scraps.
Anyways, that’s it for now. I hope my pictures have given you some ideas to get your supplies organized for ‘08!
