Instead of my dirty green cutting mat you now have my equally dirty red foam stamping mat. I would not be without it, it is fabulous - thanks Mary! I did try to keep it pristine but it soon got stamped on, hence the grubby look. So what is on it? To the left you can see a bit of a tin that I store my um's in. Then there is the window for my domino stamping, a matchbox with some tags that I once did with Lynne and a blank one in front as I want to do another and some bits and pieces to the right for something the "thing" I am doing for tomorrow which is part of my DT piece. I am hoping to do a video tutorial for it as well.
I'll show you the tin and give you some idea of how I store my um's.
This is my "Women" tin
I try to categorise my stamps and then I stamp the images on a sheet of A6 and laminate it, then put my um's on the reverse side and put them in the appropriate tin. Some tins are way too full and have spilled over into others and some, I must confess, are still in drawers.
You can see a bit of one of my drawer sets - these mainly house my mounted stamps and A4 sheets like Oxford Impressions and Non Sequitur but there are some others that get put in there.
How do you store your um's? Would love to read all about it on one of your postings on The Stamping Ground. If you are new to the "snoop of the week" you won't know what on earth I am on about or what the title of this blog stands for. Pop on over to Ms Dunnit's blog and see - click on one or two of the names and have a good old nosey around to see what others are doing.
Oh, get a cuppa first, it is addictive!
