Organization project for stamps and stickers

My husband and I are moving into our new house in a few weeks and are in the process of packing and cleaning. While packing I found a box of empty DVD cases and at first was going to throw them out (well really I was going to try to recycle them) until I thought of a better use for them. In my new house I will have a craft room, which will be a huge step-up from the dining room table I am using now. I have been trying to organize my scrapbooking and card making materials so that it will be easier to move my stuff and also use it all when I set-up my new space. I decided I would use the empty dvd cases to store my stickers and un-mounted stamps and it worked perfectly! I cut patterned paper at 10 3/4" by 7 1/4" and slid it into the plastic case. Here is one of the finished cases:Inside I used the clips that usually hold the advertisements/dvd info to hold my stickers/stamps:
And here are all the cases lined up:

Such an easy and cheap project that will help keep me organized, I hope you enjoyed it.

MPS Challenge


MPS had a challenge: make something springy, valentines day related, or anything that makes you happy! I made this super simple love card using my gypsy and CAC. I used one of the phrases that has layered hearts cut at 3.75. I embellished the hearts with stickles and used an EK success punch. I used MPS everyday life stamps for "love". I really do love how this simple card came out! Also I know I have been posting A LOT of cards lately but be on the lookout for some new projects soon!

Get Whale Soon!


I made this card for my mom who was sick this weekend. Using my gypsy I welded 2 whales from CAC together with a rectangle from designers calender. The whale was cut at 5.15 and I think the rectangle was cut at 1.5. I also removed the face using my gypsy and used peachy keen everyday faces for its cute smile. Inside I stamped "get whale soon" using my pink stamper Punny-licious stamps.

MPS Design Challenge




This is a submission for Pink Stamper design team challenge. The
challenge was to use the colors green, pink, and brown with your favorite
cartridge. My favorite cartridge is Create a Critter. I welded the Bear cut using
my new GYPSY (which is also one of my faves) together to make a card. I also cut a
purse with every day paper dolls (another fave of mine) and used a stamp from My Pink
Stamper's original stamp line "More Punny-licious." The paper was all scrap paper so I don't know what paper it is exactly, sorry. Please enjoy. I will be posting more this year as I got a new camera! Looking forward to more creativity this year :-D
