I have been thinking for a long time that I would do a "Tuesday Tip". This tip could be anything from organizing your stampin' space to layout/design ideas. I am not sure I will have a tip each and every Tuesday, but I will try very hard to do so.
This tip comes from fellow SU demonstrator Patty Bennett, you can find her blog here: http://www.pattystamps.com/. Patty is an award winning SU demonstrator, and her blog always has great ideas.
Today's Tuesday Tip concerns storage. If you are like me, you are always looking for a better way to store and organize your things. My little area of the utility room is overflowing, so this was a great idea that I plan to use.
Since my Christmas Card Class in November I have had partial packages of the beautiful Basic Pearls lying around on my desk. I am afraid to put them anywhere as I don't want the pearls to come off and get lost. In the clean-up after the class all of the little cellophane sleeves they came in got thrown away. Also, I absolutely hate trying to get them back in the sleeves due to the adhesive on the flap where you open and close the sleeve, you all know what I mean. Anyway, Patty came up with, what I consider, a brilliant solution. Store them in the Clear Mount Stamp Cases, These are found of page 192 of the IBC. The cost is $4.95 for 4 cases. Rest assured, these will be on my next order.
Below is a picture I borrowed from Patty's Blog, Be sure to visit her blog for some great ideas!
See what I mean? Isn't this the best idea ever. These cases are slim and stand up on the end. I can't wait to get all my little pearls and rhinestones organized and off the top of my desk.
Ta Ta for now & check back tomorrow for a different sort of birthday card!
