Happy WOYWW, today my desk is relatively tidy but for stamps.
I bought a new Hero Arts sets on Monday and Ive had fun playing with it- they are all quite cute images (called Whimsical elements- bottom left of the photo). You can just about see the frog card on my shelf that I made for the CASology and ColourQ challenges using these stamps.
You can also spot a plethora of ink pads used for he aforementioned project along with some stamps that needs putting back in their correct place. I have, what I think is quite a good storage system for inks and clear stamps but my problem is actually using the system - I'm so lazy.
This is how I store my inks- its a really useful box divider in one of my Ikea desk drawers. I stack larger ink pads on top of each other and store all my memento ink pads end on so I can see the names. Only problem with this is, as you can see, if you take a few out of a compartment the others fall over. You can also see my homemade colour card keyring for matching ink colours- only trouble is it is a bit out of date and doesn't have my most recent inks on it.
Here you can see one of three boxes of stamps- this really useful box holds stamps sets that are around A6 in size. I remove or trim the packaging and slip them into clear CD wallets. This keeps the sets togther and allows me to flick through them . I try to keep similar stamps togther- for example all the sets with pink cards in are my Marion Emberson ones.
Hope you've enjoyed the tour,

ReplyDeleteI have, indeed, enjoyed the tour! It's always interesting to see what works for different people. Not that you're different, I didn't mean that. I mean one person versus another. Not like a competition, I didn't mean that. I mean ... oh, just fooling around wid ya. With the twinks here I haven't been doing a daily blog - can you tell I miss writing/jibber jabber?! LOL! Have a great week! Darnell #102
ReplyDeleteNice bit of organisation going on there, cute frog card too. BJ#19

ReplyDeleteSome great organisation going on - and I so agree about keeping ink pad colour swatches up to date - something else just scribbled on the 'to do' list here :)
ReplyDeleteLove the frog card - just 'blew him up' and had a closer peek.
